Day 22

Continuing the story of Lydia and Me

Despite having had the luxury of a camp bed at the weekend, today I woke feeling aches and pains in places where I don’t usually feel aches and pains.

It was just as well, then, that I had my usual Monday afternoon yoga and Qigong classes to go to. Both proved exceptional in helping me to relax and re-energise.

In the relaxation session at the end of yoga, I had the added benefit of a brief shoulder massage by the teacher.

In Qigong we continued to work on the wonderful movement of ‘dragon’, building up to it in ways that encourage flexibility and focus.

I then took Lydia for a walk in the wind.

It was a warm but quite strong wind and I think we were both invigorated by it.

As I write, it feels like my whole body, breath and being have had good workouts.

Further nourishment comes from the broccoli soup that Trev has made for tea.

All in all its been a healthy Monday.
