TURMERIC tea to sooth the soul

Today was the day I decided to actually see the light of day. Now, my husband and I have taken a couple brief walks around the neighborhood, but I needed to escape that bubble. I feel as if I’m falling into that funk, depression, sadness…whatever you want to call it. Our nation, and really the world has just come to a standstill, which in turn allows me to start to sink into that figurative hole under the rock and not come out. Everything is postponed, cancelled, closed. I’m beginning to feel like this is what my life is becoming.

Today (during the day at least) is going to be a beautiful day. I was encouraged by a couple of my yogi friends, get out and reconnect with nature. I mean this is our mother. This is where we came from. I did put a walking meditation for about 25 minutes of my walk in the park this morning, but I spent the 30-40 minutes just observing, taking the time to feel the sensations of the air moving around me, breathing in the green.

I sat by the water for some time, feeling the energy coming from it as it rushed by. I collected a few stones from my visit and gently cleaned them when I returned home. I bathed and put together a cup of tea.

I realized I need to do all of this everyday. I think we all do. With it being the Spring Equinox, I guess this shut down couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. A time for everyone to observe, reconnect, and sip that time. Take the time for gratitude.
