This has recently been introduced to me, by a very good friend. When I was having a particularly bad day last week, I was instructed to kneel, with my palms facing upwards, my hands resting on my thighs, eyes closed and head tilted up slightly. I was instructed to focus on my breathing and nothing else, and to imagine him there with me.
I have discovered a love within kneeling. Kneeling, for me, is a form of mindfulness, a form of meditation. It helps to calm me, to centre me, to quiet my busy mind. I find it very soothing, especially in times of need. Just 5 minutes of kneeling, helps me to clear my mind. Focusing on me, and focusing on him. Imagining him there, speaking to me, hearing his voice, soothing me.
Unfortunately I can’t always kneel, and at the moment I am struggling, for some reason my left foot ends up pulsing quite bad and my thighs are very sore. So my kneeling position switches from kneeling to sitting cross legged. Same rules apply, however.
Today I have spent 5 minutes kneeling on two separate occasions. I needed it. It’s a positive coping mechanism for me, and I love it. Being able to find something, that not only helps to lessen the noise in my head, but leaves me feeling calmer, happier. Well, that makes my life that little bit easier to manage.
