I have a yoga instructor that talks
about allowing yourself to be in a
state of ecstasy, to find that “yum,” as he calls it. It’s easy for me to find
that “yum,” the overwhelming joy and delight in physical activities. I have always loved to move, and movement is
the first place I go whenever I feel sad, anxious, stressed, angry, happy,
lonely, excited, no matter what is happening, I can always find comfort through
movement. I see children find this overwhelming joy all the time. This feeling
is also linked to what I wrote yesterday about beginners love.
Now, recently I have began to
mediate and it has changed my life in so many ways, but the way in which it
relates to that feeling of joy and ecstasy is what I want to write about today.
One of the changes I have seen in myself since I found mediation is that I have the ability to feel ecstasy and overwhelming joy similar to that
of a child in so many things. It’s a mechanism that has been reawakened in me that I catch
glimpses of every day. The idea alone that we can get back those things that we
lost as children is so amazing! I have reawakening what I am calling the ecstasy
superpower and it is...well...overwhelmingly wonderful. ;)
