Your life is the greatest spell you will ever cast – Veronica Varlow
We could all use a little magic right now. There is not one person on this planet who has not been affected by the challenges of the pandemic. Things are starting to look up and yet the sustained low grade (or high grade) stress of it all seems to be catching up with many of us. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse and more is at an all time high. This condition did not happen overnight and will not subside overnight. We must be patient with ourselves. Some of the habits we used to cope with the situation need to be replaced with new habits, more positive ones.
Picking up pen and paper can be a welcome change from endless doom-scrollling on social media and media in general. Journaling helps us reduce anxiety and allows us space and time to find ease and peace. When we cultivate inner clarity through words, moving meditation with pen and paper, we find a place where we can let go of fear and put things in perspective. Coming from a place of centered calm, we can handle whatever life throws at us, or whatever our busy minds create. We can reduce the overwhelming feelings and sit in the space of mindful moving meditation.
As our words flow onto the page, remember that we create our own reality. We cast our own spells, how will your life benefit from a moving meditation?
