Hi all!! I have been taking a meditation class through the local hospital for several years, and have made a wonderful friend of the instructor. I am a pretty upbeat and positive person, but I still get days when I worry or stress over making the right decision. With surgery being only a week away, I have been a little more preoccupied, and she has noticed it. She invited me to meet her today to work on it. I thought I would share what she had me visualize today.... (She knows I am most stressed about the permanence and lack of mobility.)
Have you ever watched ballerinas? They have such regal posture. It is erect, it is graceful, yet it is STRONG. They move in all these crazy positions, but they always keep their back straight and erect. As if they are in a stiff corset. She told me that will be ME!! A strong, regal, graceful woman; not a woman with limitations! What a great image instead of the one I sometimes have of being stiff and rigid. Same posture, just a totally different way of looking at it. When I try to load the dishwasher, I won't awkwardly lean over- I will PLIE'!!! Doesn't that bring to mind a much more elegant stance, rather than to stoop??? This simple change of perception on fusion has made a huge difference on how I look foward to my outcome. I hope this helps some of you with the same concerns. It makes me think of that song "I Hope You Dance". Soon I will be dancing around the house, too!!!!!
