So glad you have an all-round practice that serves you so well!<br /><br />Kel,<br />I appreciate what you say about deservedness. We do struggle with this, don't we? But I love the connection you make here that when that little niggling voice begins, that is precisely the time to dive into ritual!

Rolling out my mat, sitting and breathing in preparation for the work ahead. With my monkey mind chattering away with thoughts of work (which I've just left before coming to class), I ask myself "Where am I?" and I answer "I am here." I am here, I am on my mat, I am not at work, I have nothing to do now but to breathe and to practice my yoga. That is all. Nothing to do, and nothing to undo. My yoga practice does nourish me.Rose - Watching Waveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753071639280850781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4604060928939811192.post-19901684894616579032010-03-28T12:03:16.535-04:002010-03-28T12:03:16.535-04:00One Woman,

Twice is very nice. :-) For me, to climb into the tub to indulge in the middle of the day is true decadence. :-) <br /><br />Ingrid,<br />Walking — a very nice choice on so many levels. Body, mind and spirit or certainly nourished. And, oh, yes, letter writing (rather than journaling) does provide an opportunity for soulful "me time," and for making sense out of our lives with a dear one as witness. xo<br /><br />Jenn,<br />May all the things you mention continue to bring your heart ease. Teas are so nice, journaling too, and naps. Oh, yes. Naps!Jan Lundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435987976902042981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4604060928939811192.post-78864661281423108992010-03-23T16:11:22.797-04:002010-03-23T16:11:22.797-04:00Susanne,

They must be as intrigued by water as we are. Enjoy and be well!<br /><br />Maxine,<br />Knitting sounds like a very nourishing ritual. I imagine it is very meditative and the repetitive motion could definitely lull one into peace of mind.

I do love it though! ;) My self-nourishment essentials are getting a bit low lately,.. however.. I must say that my favorite ritual which I will not give up is Journaling! I find that every day it is one of the first things I do. I also enjoy my herbal teas, not daily but frequently and in the mornings. These are the things I tend to protect most of all. I am building from there ;) hugs, Jenn<br />p.s. congrats on your new cottage news and the claw foot bathtub! how fun! I enjoyed that once on vacation and it was so fun!

Different from journaling, somehow- it's a recalling of details and delights...or even the sharing of puzzlements. I guess connecting is self-nourishing!

Only problem is the edges are rolled and slippery and narrow, so my cats can't sit beside me, which seems to be important to them for some cat reason. One sits on the bathmat and howls mournfully, the other balances precariously on the edge of the tub to play with the soap bubbles and has been known to fall in. Nothing like having a cat fall in your bath water to pretty much ruin a perfectly good relaxing moment.Susannenoreply@blogger.com
