Hello everyone, trust you are all having a good weekend?
Well, I was too till I woke up this morning feeling sick and lethargic.
So sick that I was throwing up, coupled with an uneasiness that threatened to keep me in bed.
As someone that loves being active, that was a feeling I wasn’t going to allow, especially at this time when I have so much to do.
So I got up, logged in on YouTube to play some sounds to take my mind off the uneasiness. Didn’t find something relaxing enough to play, so I went through my playlist history and I found a meditative song I used to like.
Played it and decided to sit still, meditate and do some breath work…. That didn’t work either because I couldn’t sit still or concentrate.
Minutes into my self imposed meditation, I felt this urge to stand up and just move to the beat. (It was a really uplifting one. A combination of hang drum and Mrindangam)
Left the link here in case you want to check it out, I would strictly recommend.
Anyways back to my story, I got up and moved to the beats, it wasn’t really easy at first because I was weak and my body just wanted to lie down and rest but I knew that would only weaken my spirit so I persisted.
Kept on dancing till I was one with the beats. Was sweating profusely by the time I stopped dancing and I decided to end it with some yoga stretches.
The stretches felt so good, I could literally feel the queasiness evaporating from my system in beads of sweat.
Added some breath work to it and the effect was phenomenal.
By the time I was done with the yoga stretches, I felt so alive and strong, that I couldn’t believe I was literally sick like hours ago.
Ended it with a really cold shower to wash off the sweat and I kid you not, I’ve never felt this good in a while.
Made me realize that I’m my own healer lol ( ok that’s just me blowing my horn) but seriously I felt really good.
Can’t believe all I needed was some good body movement and stretches to return me back to my blissful state.
So now I’m here to share my testimony with you and let know you that all you need to release accumulated stress is good body movement. Just get up and move!
