Hugging the earth

Today I had another yoga session in the park. It was wonderful to be immersed in the prana of nature. Truly energising. For one of our poses we lay face down, chest against the ground, with arms spread wide. It felt like hugging the earth. I don't think you can get this sensation on the floor of the studio. It's a very satisfying experience. Try it!

It also reminded me vividly of a sculpture I once saw in Hakone at the open-air sculpture park there, 彫刻の森 (choukoku no mori) It amused me at the time, but now the image fills me with reverie.


地球を抱きましょう!

  1. I like your phrase "地球を抱きましょう!".
    Luna and I just talked about 彫刻の森 on this weekend. She loved that place. We want to go there again.

    I am impressed how quick you adjusted to a new place. We miss you!!!

  2. Thank you Midori! It's really nice to hear from you. We miss you too. The adjustment is still in process, but Beppu is a nice place to live. You should come for a visit!
