“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” ~Annie Dillard

The past few months have been wild! I've traveled EVERY single weekend since September. With so many flights, long drives, and countless adventures I could feel my head stirring trying to process everything new. Today is the first time I've been able to enjoy being home in DC: I took two yoga classes yin + yang, ate a delicious home cooked meal, and cleaned a lot. So thankful for the amazing travel. So grateful to feel at home.

After traveling, or on days when I feel 'bouncy' and my thoughts are spinning, I like to create a space to ground and find calm. One of my favorite techniques for grounding is laying on my foof (a large futon bean bag chair) with a sandbag/heavy blanket over my belly. I often cover my eyes with my warm palms and focus on deep belly breathing. The sandbags help me to feel a heavy connection the earth, the light qualities of the foof support the contours of my body and help me to relax. My warm palms block out all light so that it's easier for me to turn my attention to the breath. Ahh, what a nice feeling it is just to be still, if only for a moment. #sweetness #SavorTheStillness
