Ok, I need to move today, I need to get physical, do something that fits the bill, hits the spot, scratches the itch. I feel like I need to get lighter, fresher, looser and energised. I want to create some openess in my back, some solidity in my legs and really get my breathing deep and full.
On days like these I usually do my chi kung. I practise a five animal spontaneous chi kung that is a free form healing chi kung. I've practised this for fifteen years now and it has been an injunction that never fails to balance me out, preserve my health and leave me more creative.
Finding an activity to work at the physical subtle level of our body is foundational to my self leadership coaching approach, it's here that we experience stillness, movement, energy and play. So often these elements are lost in the seriousness of the "burden" that can so easily become a reality.
So, like a cat waking up and finding exactly the right balancing moves, what will you do today that enlivens, envigorates and encourages your spark, your life-force?
