Movement is the Medicine

There are times in life when you might experience low energy and mood, heaviness in the body and the feeling that inspiration is nowhere to be found.

The world around you may seem dull and lacking colour and definition. That light within you that brings you joy, can be hard to find.

In your body, you might notice muscles that feel tense and tight and painful to move. This tension prevents you from breathing deeply and easily and impedes good circulation and the natural flow of energy throughout the body.

You can turn it round.

Light that fire within you and fuel your energy and inspiration.

Movement is the medicine you need.

Movement is by far one of the best ways to reduce tension in the body and bring you back that spark of energy. Gentle movement activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which can help you feel more relaxed and elevate your mood.

There’s almost an endless variety of ways you can get your body moving – there’s sports, gym, yoga, dance, Pilates, Zumba, walking, and many, many more activities. Perhaps you can re-visit an activity you’ve done before, or maybe it’s time to try something completely new.

It’s all about being open, curious, investigating, experimenting and finding what movement your body enjoys and what brings you joy.

Choose movement as often as you can and bring light to the kaleidoscope of colours connecting your internal and external worlds.

Experience the joy, energy and inspiration that come from your movement medicine.
