Doesn't it just lift your mood when the sun is shining, the clouds are rolling by, slowly...languidly piece by piece without the dark, gloomy undertones of a storm? Because we're all so focused on looking at what's ahead of us, sometimes we forget to look up and see the sky.
I love looking at clouds. Sometimes I go swimming with the kids and they'd be having a whole load of fun while I take on the job of being a 'life guard' on watch all the time. Don't even think about swimming laps or moving further than a few feet away from the kids.
So, what do you do when you're bored out of your skull, getting darker and darker by the seconds (as it is I dont need any further tanning help, thank you very much!)...but to look up, watch the clouds roll by, the birds soaring, the trees just waving around in the air....
This morning is so gloomy. Wish it was like the picture above.
I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...
