Tai Chi

Back in the day (aka like 4 years ago), I used to wake up early on Sunday mornings to lifeguard the Aqua Tai chi class at the Indianapolis JCC for a ripe $12/hr. I hope i can’t get in trouble for this now but i must admit that I occasionally fell asleep while i ought to have been diligently at my post. It was sooo warm in there, and the instructor would put on this nice flute meditation music, so there was really no way I was gonna make it out of that pool as a star employee. Anyways, I have to take a PE class now to graduate college, and I have had the delight of taking Tai chi this semester (inspired, of course, by that very JCC Aqua Tai chi class). It’s a physical and mental meditation, but also a fr workout. Some things I think it helps with: balance, flexibility, bodily awareness, reflexes, mindfulness. Also, low-impact and modifiable to suit different levels of mobility, meaning it lends (or rather, suggests) itself well to long term practice 😌

Yin yoga

I’m really obsessed with yoga in a v spiritual way. everyone should try yin yoga, which calls for remaining in poses for anywhere from 5-15 minutes at a time. It’s incredibly challenging on every level and just so meditative and healing.

statue

Was at the MFA Boston today and this WWII memorial sculpture struck me. It’s the wings pointing straight up to the sky, the angel’s hands grasping the body…
