Making Time For Lu Jong

Making Time For Lu Jong

 

The end of the calendar year is inevitably fraught with stress for all.

Between social events, school performances, family gatherings, acts of compassion and sales bonanzas it's a wonder we can manage to crawl into the New Year at all!

It would seem easiest to let our self-care routines fall by the wayside - anything to carve out a couple of extra minutes of sleep or even to jam in one more errand.

Oops...Guilty.

How often do we forget to extend the support, patience and kindness to ourselves that we so readily give to others?


“If you feel “burnout” setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective.” ~ HH Dalai Lama


Here's a pretty easy list of why I make time for Lu Jong:

  • Lu Jong is Strengthening - The more I practice the movements the stronger I get. With regular practice I find my body stretching and flowing with ease, in addition to boosting my immune system.
  • Lu Jong is Meditative - The benefit of focusing upon movements and breath is the ability to slow down my thoughts. All that is left is presence, feeling, breathing and motion. The deeper breathing also calms my nervous system.
  • Lu Jong is Balancing - With Lu Jong I bring balance to all of the systems and elements within my body and mind. All aspects work in harmony and in this balance I find my true strength, power and vitality.


Armed with these super powers my Holiday outlook is much more relaxed and heartfelt. Working smarter is always better than working harder!
