1/24/2014 (Day 24) The Art of Basking

Bask, a verb meaning: 

1:  To lie exposed to warmth and light, typically from the sun, for relaxation and pleasure. (Synonyms:  laze, lie, lounge, relax, sprawl, loll, wallow; sunbathe, sun oneself). 

2:  To revel in and make the most of something pleasing; to enjoy the attention and good feelings expressed by others. (Synonyms:  revel in, delight in, luxuriate in, wallow in, take pleasure in, rejoice in, glory in, indulge oneself in; enjoy, relish, savor, lap up.)

Basking is an excellent way to raise your frequency and keep yourself in a more positive vibration. It goes hand in hand with appreciating and developing an ''attitude of gratitude'' in your life. We really aren't taught the art of basking in our culture. These days, it seems as though our attention spans grow shorter and shorter with each passing day, due to the speed at which information bombards us at every turn. We are not often encouraged to simply tune into the goodness surrounding us and allow the richness of what we see, feel and experience to penetrate our hearts and souls so deeply that it brings us to a place of deep gratitude and joy for the mere experiencing of it. 

Today, sitting in the Coop with the deliciousness of the late January sun streaming through the windows..feeling its heat deeply penetrate my back and warm my blood, while surrounded by wonderful people having a lively discussion, I  felt like I was basking on multiple levels and felt such an immense gratitude for the very opportunity to be alive to be a part of such simple but profound moments of human experience. 

So, the next time you feel the sun streaming in the window or a bright sunny spot calls to you outside, I encourage you to do yourself a favor and sit down for a few minutes and soak it in...allow the Light of the Sun to penetrate every cell of your body and to caress your Soul with it's warmth and allow your heart to fill with a deep appreciation for all that you have, all that you are and all that you are becoming and let your frequency raise to the place of Unconditional Love that the Art of Basking can allow.
