Today I did yoga without a video or dvd for an hour. At the beginning I did 20 minutes of meditation and at the end 15 minutes of deep relaxation. I would like to make a habit of doing yoga everyday with a day off at least once a week and to do meditation 20 minutes twice a day in the morning and afternoon. Now that I am not working at Jinglers anymore I am in need of recalling my soul and my energy and reaffirming everyday what is important and what my priorities are as well keeping an awareness on how I'm thinking. After I was done the last of shavasana I got dressed in regular clothes and got something to eat and still felt off. So I got some cuticle oil made with ingredients from the dead sea. And it has many great oils in it and extracts that are wonderful to the skin. Yoga is wonderful but sometimes the entire body needs a massage even if it's brief. For me it's the feet and the scalp especially that respond the most to massage. I'd also like to bring this into my routine as an aspect of health and self care as well. While I was doing yoga a blue jay for a shot instant stopped on my window sill and throughout the time I practised and even now I hear the bird in the tree with his or her loud and clear twilight song. The perfect cap to this is a cup of warm peppermint tea and a bath with dead sea salts to relax the muscles.
