[glow=blue,2,A]I had an experience this afternoon that I wanted to share with everyone. It just feels so momentous, that I just feel like I have to share it.
This afternoon I went outside in my cousin's backyard (I am housesitting for them while they are in hawaii now) to sit on her swing. It's like a couch that swings with a canopy above for shade. It's pretty nice. Anyway, I was feelin' really tired and wanted to lay down. So I laid down on the swing. It was the weirdest feeling. Like I was afraid to be laying down and swinging at the same time. Like I would fall or lose my balance or something. But at the same time, I had an even more inner feeling of "let go, it's not losing your balance, it's finding it - remember balance is not static, rather ever changing and so you need to be ever changing to stay balanced."
SO....I laid down and closed my eyes. I felt like I was going to lose my stomache on a roller coaster ride over a hundred feet up in the air coming over the top and headed for the downhill fall.
As I was laying down with my eyes closed and swinging, relaxing, letting it go, I felt a sense of comfort come over me. I felt more balanced - as if the movement would KEEP ME from falling! It became so comfortable that I fell asleep out there for over an hour! LMAO!
So...now I want to get a swing for my backyard! I swear, it's GREAT therapy! ::giggle::
