Nothing like a full body massage at 7am. You should have one, too. I'm usually giving massages, so it's very nice to be on the receiving end once in a while. I worked through a world of feelings and emotions, which had tied my neck and back into one big, giant knot. Having a massage at the perfect time is priceless.
Color and associations in today's massage and energy balance:
- red: anger; have I been scorched by traumatic expriences? am I masking pain?
- black: loss; what do I feel or recognize is missing in my life?
- blue: fear; what am I trying to run away from? what am I fighting?
In Chi, both red and blue are Yin; meridians of heart and kidneys respectively, which sure enough were the ones that needed balancing. Now I’m able to move my head side to side, and my back doesn’t hurt as it did.
The body never lies. It has a universal language, and when it’s got something to say, make no mistake, it’s going to come right out and say it. And if you don’t pay attention it will immobilize you, until you take action.
Enjoyed my morning coffee and am back home, ready to step outside. I'm all set up, ready to paint, knowing I still have the whole day ahead of me. I knowing that it’s ok to feel the way I sometimes do; I must be patient, accepting and understanding with myself, and work my way through it. Today is a beautiful day, I’m relaxed right now, and that is a wonderful feeling. I hope you have a wonderful day as well.
Edited: If you know me, you know I do not believe in coincidences. The colors worked with today match the ones I've been working with in another painting, which spun a little poem I posted last night at Museful, titled Self.
1. i'm very jealous of your massage, but i do not feel bad that you got one. i think we should all get one. blogging is hard work. hard. so hard.
2. the colors are interesting. do you feel them or see them?
3. the body does not lie. just had a long talk with a friend who finally was able to relax after years of being tense and hunched over and in pain. and yea.
4. i'm leaving you with this poem, as a gift from the book i'm reading right now, which i swear i will post about today, because it's soooo cool and i'm almost done, even though it kind of sucks in some ways.. the book, not the poem. argh. i'm rambling. :)
The warmth
In my mouth.
That rush
Through my veins
Making my heart race
My pulse quicken
My head–
Just a bit dizzy.
My legs–
Just a bit numb.
My tongue
Years for more
More of you
Right now.
Now.
I can't wait anymore.
This is torture.
Seriously.
I'm in hell
Waiting for you.
I just want to shout
To this giant crowd of people
"How hard it is to make a latte, fuckers?"
I love you, coffee.
(sorry for the profanity. edit it if you need to, but i felt the need to preserve the artist's integrity.)
hard and exhausting work indeed. you should treat yourself. :o)
i feel them AND see them. it's intense.
i'm not editing it. integrity preserved. and oh puh-leeze! will you share what book it is you're reading? inquisitive minds want to know. now.
okok, i'm going to go compose a post right now, and then i'll come back and comment so you know. and then we can have tea and stick our pinkie fingers out when we sip, like laydees.
oh, i'm there... waiting for the paint to dry and you to post...
pinkie on the ready!
ok, i posted. it bites. but i'm occupying myself with trying to figure out how to make trackbacks work, because, my post references your post, so shouldn't it show up as a trackback on yours?
*thinks her brain might be burning*
i see the trackback now. cool. it works. :)
hehe... there you go. trackbacks are fun, no?
Wow.
Where do I sign up?

Review of Why Girls Are Weirdl by Pamela Ribon this review is for Zee, who really wanted to know where that poem came from. And even though I want to write this review, I'm so tempted to run off and figure out how trackbacks work, so I can make this al... [Read More]
