Although "Deliberate Ingestion" might imply that this blog is all about eating, there are so many other ways to ingest energies and sensations from our surroundings. Today I am inviting you to join me in moving deliberately.
I started my day by moving very slowly today and breathing deeply, then doing qigong and Nia with the help of some DVDs. I also encourage you to move throughout your day slowly, noticing how you are breathing and moving and the sensations of touch you experience. I adore Nia (especially live classes), for Nia encourages delicious, sensual, deliberate movement and a total body awareness. (If you have a chance, check out Nia on YouTube or order the Unplugged DVD from Amazon.com)
If you put on some sensual, rhythmic music, you can make even the most mundane tasks into a dance...especially if no one is watching and you can be totally free to express yourself or move at a slower pace than usual :)
Even as I type this, I am noticing my fingers on the keys and the smooth sensation of the contact between them and how my feet are making contact with the floor...and I am taking a deeper breath to just appreciate the gifts of movement and sensation I am blessed with!
