Embodied awareness is in every heartbeat, waiting like poprocks to burst forth with abandon. Can you feel the fizz?
– Bo Forbes
So very GOOD for you – yoga;
So very BAD for you – poprocks ! candy heavy with sugar, corn syrup and artificial colors…
But this analogy works … Doesn’t it?
Don’t you particularly feel this “fizz” during some poses?
Poprocks with all that sugar and artificial colors but probably most of us have had this one time in our life maybe for Halloween or ? Eating it 1-2 times will not kill you I am sure (lol) so just to get the idea … This tells how you can make it homemade* … realizing what the ingredients are – all that you want to stay away from…
BUT still – I love Bo Forbes’ description of “embodied awareness” … sometimes it’s “fizzy” while your mind is no longer fuzzy with brain fog – the fog lifts to clear azure stillness.
I guess food analogies are not best used in yoga (I’ve failed with noodles vs. pretzels) but this is cute … you can really feel the expression. The feeling of “fizz” – I love it – she has a way with words.
* still, might be fun activity for the kids … and to realize where that paint like artificial colors, we are consuming that’s damaging to our health, coming from someone who no longer eats process refined sugar unless there’s nothing else to eat. When you cut the sugar, it’s amazing how much better you feel. Or better put – with my yoga practice, I have lost my desire for sugar – you no longer need it for energy or pick-me-up as we learn to better manage our energy level.
For 4th of July, something like this – poprocks rimmed cocktail (just pomegranate juice or cherry juice with club soda – mocktail is just as good if not better) might be fun though – it’s the idea of fireworks I guess … ideas.
