Tuesday Thoughts: Be More Mindful & What’s Cupping?

✨Tuesday Thoughts✨
It is a privilege to be able to live each day. It’s a privilege to breath each breathe with ease, to walk the earth, to feel and to experience this journey.
🙏🏻
I recently strained my neck and shoulder mountain biking 🚴🏻and overdoing exercises and poses.
🤕
Having an injury makes me even more grateful for when I am able to get on the mat and practice.
🗣
This is a great reminder for me to be more mindful of my body, actions and to challenge myself but with care at the same time.
🤸🏻‍♀️
Not being able to practice any form of physical yoga poses for multiple days in a row has made me feel so grateful for what I do have, what my body is capable of and to have even more compassion for those who go through difficult times.
☀️
It’s a challenge for me to rest and heal sometimes as my high energy wants to keep me moving and doing at all times.
🙇🏻‍♀️
It is peaceful to be able to calm the body and relax.
💆
As my muscles tighten around my neck, shoulder and back I breathe into the tightness and think of the word relax or release.
💕
Meditation body scans and mentally sending healing thoughts and positive vibes throughout the body have been a part of my yoga practice recently.
😍
This is a reminder to be kind to your body, be grateful for your body and be mindful.
🤕
Don’t overdo anything that can cause strain or pain.

This is a photo after going to my wonderful acupuncturist and my first cupping session.

Cupping is a technique used in Chinese medicine to loosen tight muscles, adhesions, bring more blood flow and drain out toxins and energy.
🙏🏻
Thank you so much Shae for the treatment! I am on my way to feeling better each day!
