Greeting the sun
As you can read in my bike blog I did my yoga-exercise "greeting the sun" outside on the moors at an actual sunrise.
I usualy do this exercise at 7 in the morning, after helping Nicky go to school. I use it as a warming up exercise and as a meditation-exercise. I am not so good at meditation, I tedn to slip away with my thoughts.
This exercise helps me very good to connect with the earth and recieving power from the sun.
I did this exercise stripped naked during an actual sunrise, feeling the frozen gras on my bare feet, feeling the cold air on my skin, feeling the weak power of the sun becomming stronger and stronger. As always I felt realy connected with the earth under me. When reaching up I felt that I, as anyone, was given the power and warmth for free and I accepted it. Lying down on the soil I felt that the earth also gives me a solid ground and a place to be.
