During Yoga practice and the spine strengthening series, yogis rest on their stomachs in between poses. At that time, some of the instructors will “walk” on any eager feet. The last time I was the recipient of this brief exchange, I was thankful for the willingness of my teacher to freely offer the gift of touch to her students. During that moment of meditation, I felt a strong appreciation and wondered how many others in my life crave such a simple act of affection. It seems we are more concerned about crossing over boundaries or insulting so we keep our distance. That’s not what I want to be remembered for. I would rather be thought of as the person who stepped outside her comfort zone and embraced a fellow mother, daughter, brother … human being. Perhaps we’d be a lot happier if we didn’t worry so much about whom we offend, but instead care about those we friend.
Do you regularly show others kindness through a simple touch?
