Kelly Smith is our teacher today and her focus is on movement. Simple, gentle swaying or rocking back and forth. Moving our bodies in a predictable and rhythmic way helps to soothe the nervous system. She invites us to match the movement with our breath if we so choose.
The activity in this lesson reminds me of being in a rocking chair. I remember calming my own children in a rocking chair – it not only soothed them but me as well. The practice is simple, for sure, though I can’t see doing this lying down. LOL I was in an overstuffed chair and it was too difficult to go back and forth so I swayed from side to side. It felt like dancing to slow song.
What did you think of this practice? Do you enjoy movement to help you reset?
One more day left in the challenge. I hope you’ve enjoyed it so far. Until tomorrow . . .
