Great routine for my back and shoulders!  I found I need to move slower when going into camel.  LOL. Glad only my nonjudgmental dogs were watching. 

This was an interesting mix for me, this time.  I had a lot on my mind and found it revealing to observe what my mind was up to.  I normally do a more detached, empty meditation, but enjoy those were I am not directed to visualized anything.  I have aphantasia so I don't "see" things in my mind as most do.  I have found that this actually helps me in my meditation.

I keep returning to this Favorite when I have a busy morning, but need my Yin.  This practice is so good for my shoulders!  

Shared spheres expand across time and space, souls merge into one, rest and healing bathed in the breath, this day has begun....

Amazing.  Energy flowing through my body, that healing tingle in my shoulders. Being coaxed into comfort and calm.  My back is still all aglow...

What a way to start the day. Definitely go the energy flowing!  Shoulders and knees make we wary of boat pose so I opted for an extended child pose.  Loved the balancing sequence.

Always love the time lavishing in the longer stretches.  Found it interesting how the breath continues to find the tension I am unaware.  I'm learning to angle my arms more over my head, than to the side, in twisted root to find my total spine twist.  It lets me work my unique shoulder geometry better.  My vibration work at the end resonated with the deepening breath I've developed.  

I did this one when I saw that Christy DeLangie mentioned the music.  Beautiful practice, so calming.  Still reading my way, a song each day, from Cold Mountain.  Zen songs I like to call them.  

Gathering lotuses we called to each other

in lovely transparent water

enjoying ourselves unaware of the dusk

we kept watching the rising gale

swells cradled the mandarin ducks

waves rocked the mallards

and us resting our oars

letting our thoughts surge on

So nice.  I tagged this one as a Favorite.  Loved extended time with poses, finding my stretch.  Found arm and neck adjustments beneficial in the spinal twists.  As always, the best part of my day....

🎂 Happy Birthday!
