I wanted to paint the sea today...π
I find the sea very calming, and I've wanted to create that energy for myself today.
I wanted to tap into the calmness that I know is inside me, deep down. It's the place where my breath reaches down in my belly.
I often notice that I can be buffeted by wind-whipped waves on the surface, and occasionally swept up by a passing storm. I feel myself in my head, neck and shoulders at these times, tension banging. It's when my ears start to whirr and I feel like I'm swaying. Sea legs maybe.
By slowing and breathing, I am able to submerge into a deeper, cooler place, an ocean and it's movement rather than the break of waves on the shore. I feel a floating quality, an ebb and flow, and the tension easing away. Mood lifts, and I can curl my lips into a smile.
It's all in the breath, and an ability to connect with my watery, ocean-like quality. Well I am a Pisces after all. βοΈ
