Week of June 29th

Many of us are feeling lonelier than before quarantine. We have our texting, Facebook and social media. People are struggling to feel connected. We are physically distant and feeling emotionally distant. In the absence of social relationships it seems some are struggling with the relationship with their own bodies.

The human body is a complex and wonderful thing. When things feel right we often forget about it. The body is always present. It can be a natural anchor for mindfulness. Mindfulness of the body is a way to feel grounded. It is also an opportunity to connect to the joys and wonders of a life worth living.

In quarantine, some of us are in pain. We may have tried to ignore the pain of social distancing, ignore the body and resist the physical connection to the body. We know that mindfulness of the body allows us to become more familiar with physical sensations and more often navigate the relationship with the body. This week we want to know how you are engaging with your physical body? How are you engaged in a positive relationship your physical self.
