The memory Body

puppies

My sons were given three 8 day old puppies.  The animals were far too young to be taken away from their mother but she had no milk and was rejecting them.  The first thing we did when the pups arrived was make a soft, warm bed for them.  Today the two surviving puppies are 18 weeks old and have chosen a sofa as their night time bed.  My wife is not happy with the animal’s choice.  I explained to her that they prefer a soft, warm, cushion; the same as we provided when they first arrived to the cold hard tile we are now offering them.

Five bodies in perpetual motion:

1.       Physical

The Vessel we see when we look in the mirror

2.       Emotional

The feelings that lead us into action

3.       Spiritual

The element that gives us peace, guidance and serenity

4.       Energetic

The Aura of light that encircles our physical being

                                    

5.       Memory

The Molds of life, cast through life experience.

These five essentials can also be considered five elements of life, if the lights not shining we are not breathing and nothing else matters. All five bodies interact with one another and are intricate parts of what makes us who we are.

The memory body is like a foot print in the sand, it is a mold that is formed and cast with every effort and lives deep within our psychic.  Many times it is the subconscious memories that propel us to behave the way we do.  Our past is always with us, and everything we do today will be tomorrows memory of yesterday, the key is to fill the memory body with more positive actions and results than negatives.

Ready to start making history

 I am writing about this because I returned to the gym after an extended lay off.   I resumed my training on the free weights with great caution and for ten days I did a routine of cross cardio and upper body lifts. I was resting my legs because I had tweaked one of my knees while I was traveling and it was giving me pain.

As I have stated before I believe if we listen to our bodies we will be lead through a good physical training routine.  After each session I would feel stronger and buffed and my muscles were popping (pumped.) I kept having the impulse to work my legs but I over road the craving. I was confused and upset because I was doing everything I could think of to relieve stress to the knees; I was wearing braces, using a sauna and having massage therapy yet both knees felt very unstable and were in nagging pain. 

As it turned out, the craving was my body asking for more. My body had used pain, impulse and cravings to communicate; work the legs but I resisted.  On this day I went to the machines and did a full conditioning on my knees, and legs.  I started very slow, with almost no weight resistance and by the end of the 90 minutes session I was extending and curling 2/3 of the weight on the rack.

looking back is not all bad

 

The Memory and Physical body lead me to recovery.  When I left the gym that day I was walking without braces for the first time in 3 weeks and my legs felt stronger then they had in more than two months.

Trust your voices, listen to your body and when you find yourself resisting good advice ask yourself why.  The things that made you feel good and great are still within you. That which is great is you and yours to own. I suggest we live like puppies and let our memory body lead us to peace, joy and happiness.

Go have some fun,
