<\/p>\nMy body is exquisite. \u00a0This was the focus of Thursday’s Nia practice, chosen at random.<\/p>\n
Your body is exquisite.<\/p>\n
Your body is exquisite all the time — not just when you feel good, happy, in love, healthy, look a certain way or are successful. \u00a0Your body is exquisite all the time. \u00a0Your body is exquisite when you feel depressed, angry, sick grief-stricken or lost.<\/p>\n
Your body is the exquisite horse that carries you, like a Scythian lord or lady,\u00a0with exquisite\u00a0dedication and nobility across the exquisite\u00a0steppes and mountains and streams of your life, up and down, in and out and through, sniffing the scent on the breeze and always knowing how go, when to rest, when to gallop, when to play and when to listen. \u00a0Exquisitely.<\/p>\n

“Exquisite” is from the Latin ex + qu\u00e6ere<\/em>, “to seek out,” related to “query,” and therefore \u00a0“inquire,” “to seek within.”<\/p>\n Seek out the vast expanse of your body’s exquisiteness. \u00a0Seek within the deep pools of your your body’s\u00a0exquisiteness.<\/p>\n Your body’s way \u00a0is exquisite. \u00a0Like a jaguar slinking in its own natural, biological way. \u00a0Like a rabbit twitching. \u00a0Like leaves rustling. \u00a0Each being moves its body’s way.<\/p>\n Bones, muscles, skin, beating heart, lungs, belly,\u00a0brains, mitochondria, liver, hands, feet and knuckles are all exquisite. \u00a0Your biological soul is exquisite. \u00a0The Earth is exquisite.<\/p>\n Because in nature there is no verb “to be” you cannot actually say “My body is<\/span> not exquisite.” \u00a0(That’s a joke — but it’s true.) \u00a0The verb “to be” is very convenient for bookkeeping, but not so much for living a somatic life.<\/p>\n Your uniqueness is exquisite. \u00a0And it manifests in your exquisite body of 75 trillion exquisite cells — which is the Earth. \u00a0Seek it out.<\/p>\n My body is exquisite. \u00a0This was the focus of Thursday’s Nia practice, chosen at random. Your body is exquisite. Your body is exquisite all the time — not just when you feel good, happy, in love, healthy, look a certain way or are successful. \u00a0Your body is exquisite all the time. \u00a0Your body is exquisite […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,19,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-etymology","category-nia-class-focus","category-ongoing-nia-classes"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1879"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1890,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1879\/revisions\/1890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/synergy-pt.net\/niablog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4117\/4759264126_dc4c940326_m.jpg\" "\\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4117\/4759264126_dc4c940326_m.jpg\\"")
