Self-Care: Come Down Pleasurably and Gently
Day 47 of 100 days of Blogging
About six weeks ago, I made a commitment to host a few events and connect with people in person. Yesterday was the completion of the event that required the most energy and the most “holding of space.” Afterwards, I felt low, “in the down” is another term for it. I wasn’t depressed. Nothing was wrong. I was aware of the need to “come down pleasurably”, a term I learned in my practice of Orgasmic Meditation. Being gentle with myself. Feeling the feelings and having space for some gentle self-care.
Today I am making space for:
A nap.
A walk in 68 degree weather today.
A hot cup of tea.
Quiet, gentle music.
Silence.
An epsom salt bath.
Writing.
Rest…ahhh
When you need that space of rest, how do you come down pleasurably?
