Unspoken support

It's been a month since our last posting. How time passes. We have not been moving for a month. We had two potential opportunities of which one was cancelled and the other postponed until September. Chris has been working on a number of other things. As a result, I haven't been moving with someone for a while. So last week, after a very long day in a windowless office, I was feeling very lacking in energy. I arrived at my therapist's room very low. I started to follow what I intuitively needed- to jump and move. I started with the use of chairs in the room then moved to the floor where I made a couple of forward rolls. I started to move with my therapist and he supported me in a few upside down stretches, handstands and twists. I used his body as support to bend and stretch. I carried on, each move prompted by what my body demanded without thinking too much about it. After an hour, I felt totally alive and buzzing. I only wish that I could do more of this more frequently. I always feel more present, more alive- just- more!
