Indulgence

The body is as holy as the spirit. 

LIVING YOUR YOGA: Seeing the body and spirit as separate is a way of denigrating the temple that houses a treasure. Today choose to do something that nurtures your body in a way that you enjoy.

I found myself in a funk today. All I wanted to do was sit on the couch and wallow in my crankiness. Fortunately, I have some incredible people in my life watching out for me who advised I go outside and lay in the sun. I went to the park next to my apartment and did just that. After about 10 minutes, I literally felt like a different person. I wonder why we consider it so indulgent to nurture ourselves like this. I don't hesitate to brush my teeth, or shower, or do my asanas, so why should I stop myself from taking care of my body in more "luxurious" ways? I am loving today's Living Your Yoga.
