Hi everyBody from beautiful San Antonio on Saturday afternoon!
I woke up feeling fantastic and high, then sad and low in a short 30 minutes time… glad for the gorgeous day, energized to get my body moving, and then suddenly saddened by a friend’s phone call. Do you experience those days? Up, down, all around?
In Nia, we can apply all thirteen principles to our daily dance of life. I love that I have so many tools to access, to bring me into balance and homeostasis. Principle 7, “Three Planes and Intensity Levels” was called on this morning, when my emotions were high, low, and all around. I noticed how my physical energy followed my emotions. I went from wanting to conquer the world, to desiring a quiet walk. I noticed, observed and honored my body and where I was in the moment.
In class, we play with planes, from high in the sky to low on the earth, as well as intensity levels, smaller to greater range of motion and exertion, so we can condition our body, mind, emotions and spirit to be ready for anything. We honor where we are moment to moment, while making choices that bring transformation.
This morning, I chose to take a quiet walk, allowing my thoughts and feelings to flow, and recognizing the gift of ‘level one.’
We are extremely lucky to have a body that is so wise. Bring it to class, and let’s play with three planes and intensity levels, personalizing our conditioning, so we will be ready for our daily dance.
Love in the dance, Adelle
