Om

The simplest definition of Om is breathe. A very simple concept, and one that is often forgotten about. I know that when I am stressed and/or not feeling fantastic, focusing on the breath is about the last thing that I do. I am forever needing a reminder to breathe. So I did something about it. Or rather, my wonderful esthetician helped me to do something about it.

Last week, I went for my monthly pedicure. As a little extra treat, I had the “om” symbol painted on the big toe of my left foot. Imagine if you will, perfectly painted toes in plummy colour, with a distinct black om. It is beautiful, and is a constant reminder for me to slow things down, and take a breath.

Now if it could just be flip flop weather, I would have this reminder, 24/7.

I would take a picture of my toes to illustrate, but my feet are just not photogenic (even after a great pedicure).
