courtesy of Mary Abrams (check out her space! Moving Body Resources), I am reposting a part of her December newsletter for your reflection....
"Many of us know the word holiday comes from the root words Holy Day. Holy days in earlier times were days during which no work was done, and people rested, meditated, or celebrated. What does holiday mean to you? Is it a time of rest, leisure, meditation, and celebration? Or the anticipation of expectations of family, spending money on gifts you either don't feel like buying or can't afford, or the imposition of cultural and religious beliefs that have no meaning to you?
When you feel in to the world "holiday," what do you notice in your body? When you feel into the words "holy days" what do you notice in your body?"
-Mary Abrams-

Please take a moment to actually NOTICE your body's response(s) to the words.
Feel free to share some of the words/descriptions that come to you in response to "holiday" vs "holy days"...and as a special treat, here is a Lift-Gift of a mini self massage to move you through your day with Ease!
with love and many blessings ~ Jeni
