Episode 14 | Be At Ease | The CoDH Mix Series

Is there a relationship between (being at) ease and dis-ease?

The question posed itself during a period of intense stress. One occurrence after another leading to a prolonged tensing of the body. Perhaps the shoulders and arms are tight, the forehead scrunched, the stomach held in. Perhaps its elsewhere or all over whatever the case what can help, what can elevate the tension and introduce a feeling of ease?

As I sit at my desk, it comes to mind that certain tracks, that are deep, drawn out like long in and out breaths cause a relaxing of the body…a releasing of tension and self resulting in a sinking deeper into one’s body, one’s pocket, one’s home, one’s church and a feeling of ease…being at ease,

True ease for me feels joyous and so, as I journey through the drawn out tracks, conscious of breath and the act of breathing, a physical relaxation followed by a psychological relaxation ensues and glimmers of joy begins to seep through. This is ease…my body and self loves this ease. I am at ease for now.
