I Welcome Freedom

I am washing dishes, scrubbing away and pause long enough to notice that my shoulders are up, my jaw is tight and in no way am I am relishing in a full yogic breath! How is this possible; how did my body get so tense with such a simple task? Granted I am a petite goddess, so the standard counter is high and the shoulders must go up to facilitate my size. That aside, I further considered the patterns that exist in the body and their astonishing memory. Are you aware of your own patterns? Tension in the shoulders, abdomen, back, neck, jaw, chest and the list goes on and on…. Do you pause long enough to notice or does the awareness only arrive once the pain sets in and you’re sore, and stiff.
