Day 6/90 Days of Pleasure

Yesterday was the Farmers Market, one of my favorite Troy activities. I followed a desire to go to the market early, get a latte and walk around. My plan was to do a short loop and then come home and do my daily yoga & pleasure practices. It was a lovely plan that got swept away by the ebb and flow of the farmers market energy, beautiful conversations, music, and eating.

By the end of the market I felt unmoored. It didn’t help that it was a sticky heat, the humidity felt like a crushing weight. I realized that without my daily practices I didn’t feel grounded in my own energy. It was starting to feel physically painful to be around other people.

My pleasure practice brought me back to myself. I’ve been enjoying meditating in silence, focusing on my breath and noticing sensations in my body. There was no movement in yesterday’s practice. Stillness felt so good for my body.  

I was sad to miss Planetarium Party last night, but it felt right to honor my body’s wisdom of being in my own energy.
