Yesterday turned out to be one of those “Overall Spiritually Moisturizing Days” that Susan Mrosek so lusciously depicts in one of her greeting cards.
Anticipating that I would be needing some specialized “re-entry” time following my return from what had already promised to be [and truly was!] a magical 10-day Tour of Ireland, I had already made sure that my first week’s schedule was fairly “light” with work-related responsibilities. Plus, I took the opportunity to schedule a special Polarity massage session with a colleague, Martha Mae Blosser.
What wasn’t initially “planned”, but serendipitously evolved was the opportunity to have TWO Focusing Partnership sessions earlier in the day. Especially given the images of transformation and shifting that carried forward through those two sessions as I sat with the whole experience of my trip [I'll write about those in a separate entry], I discovered how much more powerful the session with Martha Mae would ultimately be.
And, as I look back on yesterday’s experience, I affirm a couple of “reminders to my-self”:
- It really IS helpful to include some sort of “buffer/re-entry zone” in my schedule when I’m returning from extended time off. [Of course, this assumes I've remembered to schedule the "time off" to begin with!]
- It’s also really nice to pause and ”set the stage” for myself and my process when I’m preparing for any kind of body-work/energy healing session. It allows the process to be deeper and more satisfying than if I just run in from rushing around. [This, of course, doesn't always mean lots of time. Sometimes, it can be as simple as pausing for a moment to set an intention and/or simply notice what's there in the moment.]
I’d love to hear from you about your experiences with “re-entry” practices after vacation.
