On a whim we decide to hike the mountain of Pilatus in Luzern, Switzerland this past weekend before the cold weather hit.
With this weeks forecast, I’m glad we did!
The hike was just what I needed after a month of crappy eating and little movement. From grieving and all the heavy.
It was a constant incline and so hard! I could only go half way before I fell over in pure exhaustion. I don’t recommended hiking when jet lagged. 🤦♀️ but it also felt absolutely needed. A challenge and a good sweat.
It felt perfectly aligned with what’s to come. The journey I’m on with my life right now. The future. The now.
Being surrounded by nature as always made me self-reflect and realize there is more out there In the world than we even know.
Often sitting in a tree growing up, It was a moment of silence and stillness living in a home of violence and chaos.
I loved how conscious it made me be. Not only to pay attention to the route and steps but everything in between.
I did some reflection and introspection but It also brought this energy of calm + contentment, joy + peace.
I loved looking out to see the views.
The calming and soothing wind.
Movement of the leaves on the trees.
The warmth and comfort of the sun.
Those conscious moments of taking a moment to listen to earth. To take a few breaths. Absorbing the view. Consciously drinking water. The coolness. Feeling its journey on my tongue to then down my throat and in my stomach.
The different shapes of rocks on the path.
The colors of the trees and leaves.
The sun seeping through the spaces.
The coolness that comes in the shade.
It’s during these times I feel most alive. Completely connected to being. Consciously aware and gratefully breathing.
