I really love my friends idea of a healing cocoon. I coming home I wasn't sure I was in a healing cocoon because coming home from the hospital I had this feeling I had to take care of myself in ways I didn't expect. I do have to take care of myself and I have had to take care of myself through this entire process but the healing process was a different phase to what I been through. Part of my really want to get things moving - like working from home - but I may have rushed a little.
So, I have conciously reminded myself to slow down, to take it easy, to really relax, lay down when I hurt, take naps. Those are some simple things to do - but can be hard when part of you wants to be active again. Along with reminding myself to back off and relax I also found myself tapping into my inner happiness, to remind myself of the courage I have to get through this, even this new phase of getting back to my life or moving on to a new phase in my life. I started calling on my mediations and really feeling them again. My cat Soma helped me out - she like to curl up on either my tummy or on my right side, right next to one of my incisions. Other parts of my cocoon are showers - how precious that first one felt the day I got home from the hospital - my daily walks - afternoon naps - listening to music -talking to friends - and touching on the simple things that are simply joyful
