Oh the joy!

A few days ago I got a massage from an absolutely fantastic massage therapist that I've been to a few times before. She does some energy work as well as massage and I always go away feeling wholly renewed.

It'd been a good six months since I had had a massage and so I was really looking forward to it. It's one of my great pleasures. 

The beautiful massaging of the muscles began and as it did I realized that my growing knowledge of the body and how it works made me think of everything in a different light. I was trying to decipher which muscles she was working on and which would be the best way to stretch them. I was thinking about yoga. And as I did so I found myself experiencing my body in a new way and understanding it in a new way. And what was incredible to me was that I saw such a difference in my body from the last time I had been given a massage. Even my massage therapist said something about it. My muscles were loose and easy to run the length of. I was relaxed and completely at ease with her touching the muscles because I was familiar with each one - I has stretched them in yoga and felt them in myself and grown used to the way they feel. 

It was truly a beautiful experience. Yoga has done some incredible things to my body and I was able to feel the changes. Oh the joy. I love yoga. 

There is still much for me to learn and experience about my body! Haha just wait until I have a baby and have to relearn pretty much everything. But I am so grateful for the relationship I am gaining with this beautiful creation of God. I am continually amazed and awed. God is powerful and good and this body is truly amazing. I can't wait to know it better and learn more through yoga!:)
