I attended an event! 🧘🏼♀️

Friday night I attended a cacao & somatic movement evening, run by @iamnatashalouise. I have attended many cacao events with Natasha but this one was a little different.
I’m not a massive fan of “organised” movement and in all honesty when I initially heard about the movement aspect, it completely put me off and I almost didn’t go.
However... while initially laying there still on my side just quite happily enjoying the music, I soon found myself moving.
A leg stretch, a shoulder roll.. soon I was stretching my full-length body as far as I could possibly reach, and wow did I need it! I realised I couldn’t remember the last time I had done that. I also hadn’t noticed how much my body was hurting!!
How often do we stay still long enough to notice how our body is really feeling? How my shoulder has been aching since that gym session last week or how my ankle has been stiff for a few days but I had just carried on, not really giving it a second thought.
Today, I invite you to spend just 15 minutes of your time, lying on the floor or sitting in a chair and noticing how your body is feeling. Maybe you need a really good stretch like I did, maybe you need to give yourself a hug, or maybe it will remind you to get that knee pain checked out.
Sometimes we need to stop running on autopilot, slow down and actually feel what our body needs! 💛🌺
