Jamie Ridler at Jamie Ridler Studios asks us “What do you wish for your Health & Wellness?” today.
Now this week’s wish was a tricky one for me because I tend to be more in my head or in outer space chatting with angels than actually in my body ; ). For years I didn’t actually feel my body at all. The first time I could really feel it and was aware that I had one was when I was pregnant. I thought being pregnant would be a really spiritual experience and there I was stuck in my own body. A body that changed and grew every day. That was a real wake-up call for me. Of course being pregnant is also a spiritual and emotional (and a lot more!) experience but that wasn’t my first impression : ).
So, what do I wish for my health? Well, I would love to be more in touch with my body and spend more time actually being inside it. I feel that it really needs to move more and spend more time outside. I used to walk for hours up and down the mountains around here with one kid on each hip but a while ago I just stopped. And the less I walk the harder it gets to get out there again.
So, more long walks, more fresh air and a tighter and stronger body. No more tense shoulders and back just a healthy and free body.
Oh yes, and I need to cut down on sugar and coffee. I love it and it gives me energy but I know it’s not doing me good. I can feel it…
What do ,you wish for yourself?
Have a lovely day, dear Sisters!
Big hugs, Karina
I recognize myself so much in this. I´ve spent most of my life in my head or in outer space :) I started “remembering” my body a couple of years ago through mindful waling. It was such an experience. ” I can feel my feet touching mother earth”. ;D On my dreamboard for 2012 I´ve written “I want to spend much more time outdoor and I want to feel that I have a strong body. So I see we have the same wishes… Love Pernilla
This is great wishing… love the concept!
** listening to your body**
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also! I love your wishes.
I think that when we give up coffee the body finds its natural way of giving us energy :D Although I have not yet given up coffee, I drink less everyday, Because I am very curious about my natural energy. :)
Same goes for sugar, but I do love cookies…!
Many blessings!
Ingrid
I love, love, love long walks – I totally understand why you want more of them in your life Karina.
May you make the time for the walks your body is craving, and feed it with all the nourishment it needs.
as you wish for yourself, so I wish for you.
Blessings – TANJA
Hi Karina,
I totally understand you when you say that you were more in your head than in your body. I suffered from the same “dysfunctional” problem. I hope your body journey will continue to bring you peace and happiness.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you.
Cheers from Bordeaux, FR
I love your wish, walking is very important to me for the same reason.
As you wish for yourself, Karina, so do I wish for you as well.
What a very important and heartfelt wish. As Karina wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
As you wish so I wish for you. I am finding that I am having similar feeling as others, though I don’t know that i’ve written it as eloquently.
As you wish for yourself, so I also wish for you! Although lately I wish I was spending more time outside of my body than inside!
Being more in touch with your body…this is something
that resonates with me. As you wish for yourself I wish for you as well.
As you wish for yourself I wish for you also. Good luck on your coffee and sugar cutback!
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you too! Great wish!
My trick to get myself in my body is to have dogs, working breeds that need lots of exercise, so that means long, long walks, and no skipping a day! Maybe you could find one you could borrow? ;) As you wish for yourself so I wish for you also.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
I have gotten out of the habit of long walks with the onset of this cold winter. I too need to resume the habit.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you also.
From another lover of coffee, I wish you luck. I also feel like I am more in my head than in my body and I think just finding a balance is important. Bug hugs to you!
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
Such a beautiful wish, Karina..I love the feel of the reflection you provide: fresh air, mountains with children, long walks..lots of symbolism in all of it, too. As you wish for your self, so I too wish for you as well:)
Now that sounds good to me too!
The long walks haa… but it’s cold you know, LOL, however, fresh air is so soooo good for us. :)
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well.
Mountains are great for walking. Back in the city I become a bear in my cave. ;)
As Karina wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
