What is the best gift you have ever been given? A car? A ring? An ipod? Was it a material possession or an act, thought or service?
Last night I was given an hour and a half with Audrey, and all prior gifts seemed incomparable. First she asks the state of my physical abilities. Well. Let’s see. I kayak every day, morning workouts, run, ski, yoga, slight knee pain, perpetual soar back and generally feeling pretty good. I climbed onto her table where she proceeded to work through muscle and joint pains that were so deep I had just learned to accept them. Focusing on my back, I breathed through the delicious pain and melted even further into my own body.
I’ve never been more relaxed and completely pain free. This might have to happen more often. After all, my body is my tool and you have to care for your tools if you expect them to work properly.
