The heat this year brought me the reminder that I still have a temper….it so flairs in the hot sun! I was encouraged to relearn the wonderful lesson of Count to 10. It was humbeling, and sometimes those are the best lessons. Thank you for this post, your words are soothing, healing. Many Blessings~ Michelle

Liz, clouds and rain sound blissful right about now! :-)

Judy, for me, it’s not about meditating the temperature away (although that might be cool!) but about getting out of my head and into my body. I love your story about giving your cat an ice-cube massage. Your cat must have loved it too!

Hiro,

As I read, I could feel my own breathing slow, deepen and become more fluid. I became aware of my own posture, and in the awareness, could shift to release the tension in my back, relax my shoulders.

In the rocky mountains, we are in the midst of a cool spell. Clouds and intermittent rain have been the order of the day here. So I send thoughts of coolness your way!

Thank you for sharing your practice, and allowing me to participate!

I WISH I could turn my mind off like that. Does it get easier with practice? Seriously, I would love to meditate these temperatures away!

Your paragraph about the things you have to do all day blowing through your head is perfect. Ellen DeGeneres, in a stand-up routine, talks about getting into a yoga position, calming herself, doing her breathing, and then, out of nowhere, the song in the Clorox 2 commercial pops into her head:

“Mama keeps whites bright like the sunlight,
Mama’s got the magic of Clorox 2.”

I am afraid I am a little like that. : )

My heat-busting strategies? Basement office helps, but, strangely enough, when I stop thinking about my pain and look to help others, it gets better for me. For instance, yesterday on twitter I learned about a way to cool down cats, with an ice cube massage. Treated by elderly cat to one and it took my mind off my own misery.

Beautiful piece of writing! So glad I subscribed to your blog.

Oh, Mahala, how lovely! Thank you for leaving your little stone–it’s a great and generous blessing. I’m so happy you visited here.

Much love, Hiro

I always want to comment after your posts. Like leaving one little stone for the cairn saying “I was here, I love what you said. Thank you.” But your beautiful words always seem to leave me speechless.

Today I figured out at least one reason why.

Your writing is so deeply connected to the body and the physical. My body does not feel like Home. When I read your writing, some little part of me comes to nest. The flying ceases along with thoughts and mind in motion. The silence is delicious. I don’t want to break the spell trying – inadequately – to match the feeling.

So, thank you dear. If you ever find a little stone (O) in your comments, you’ll know I’ve been here.
