Pure Energy For a moment yesterday all I wanted was a nap, and I needed pure energy as quickly as possible. Outside, in the fresh air and sunshine, as mid afternoon progressed, the yawning started and built up to more yawning than not! Napping was not an option. Fresh water for hydration was helping momentarily. I was crashing hard!
We were standing at the rail of the riverboat waiting to depart. I was being lulled by the paddles as they hit the water in their rhythmic patterns. Somewhere inside I felt the desire to take a deep breath. And then another. And 30 more.
I practiced deep diaphragmatic breathing long ago. When did I stop doing that, I wonder? I felt so energized by the time I got to the 30th breath. I felt pure energy course through my body, bringing all of my senses back into vibrant focus. I did bellows breathing this morning before I sat here to write and I was amazed at the instant clarity. A focus on breath is a gift to wellness that would serve me to remember and return to a daily practice.
I am thankful for the natural resource of fresh Florida air. My sleep last night was deep and refreshing, for which I am also grateful. I woke without the opportunity clock, and I feel energized and ready for a full day. My mind is awake and my attitude is positive. I can hardly wait to go outside, and breathe in more pure energy.
