migraines + mudras
Aug 7th, 2007 by melanie
Hands intrigue me. Functional yet intimate, strong yet vulnerable. They can heal or harm, hide or reveal, create or destroy. Did you know that there are some four thousand nerve endings in just the tips of your fingers? Isn’t that amazing?
This week, seeking out energy and intuition with the help of some of those thousands of nerve endings. Trying to make good choices, break out of self-sabotaging holding patterns, and trust my instincts.

I feel my body, my mind, weighted down — all is heavy — but my blood, my inner fire, my passion, the little unburdened kid in me, patiently wait to burst free.
Let me tell you, migraines suck. A migraine for four days straight sucks even worse. The pain is gone, now just dealing with the leftover blahness. A huge storm is brewing outside — rain, lightning, and thunder booming so loudly it just shook the whole house. Oh, how I love me a good storm. A perfect way to wash away the blahness of the week.

p.s. I didn’t mean for this post to be all about hands… just a prevalent symbol in my life right now, I guess.

Beautiful……Your work is inspiring to say the least. Where do you find all of your quotes? Do you take them from books or do you search for them on the web?
