In The Wilderness
of Chaos~ A Personal Story
Jane
This little girl has had quite the journey. She has managed to survive several stays with the SPCA and now has found her way into my heart and home. She will be the poster cat for the SPCA which I will share when I have all the information. Only recently arriving on the 27th of June, she is slowly adapting to living with a new person and another strange cat who looks somewhat like her, but larger. Weight wise, way larger. Her arrival has had a significant effect on Zeppo who
is quietly figuring out what her presence means. As of yet they are still kept separate, but are very much aware of each other with a few visits through the screen door.
Today Jane and I figure out a good place for her to hang out. Placing a chair in front of the window, she can now see out, get some sun and fresh air and feel more secure. Zeppo, thankfully enjoys spending most of
the day outside when it is nice. During the nights he used to stay out in the living area, but now sleeps with me while Jane sleeps in the other bedroom. It will be interesting to see how they proceed to their next step of getting to know each other and negotiating personal space with each and me.

The Body is Designed for Movement Are you like a cat in the morning? Notice how
when they awake from sleep will stretch before they even move. This could look like a big yawn where the
mouth opens fully and the head protrudes forward
causing the neck and then the back to elongate. Then
the paw will come out and the claws open and separate
as the leg moves out from the body. This movement contributes to the shoulder opening, starts the blood
moving and the nervous system to stimulate before
jumping to the floor. Then comes the proverbial cat
stretch. Paws come out front as the head moves toward
the floor causing the back to elongate and the hips and shoulders to compress creating an awakening for the
whole spine and body. Then the movement forward
stretching out the lower back, hips and legs. (cont’d page 5)

The Body is Designed for Movement(Con’t from page 3)
Once the cat has fully stretched it will then go about its day. Now you may wonder why the descriptive story of cat stretching. The thing is the cat is not the only animal that stretches this way. And guess what? Our bodies come from the animal world. It requires the same attention. Now look at how you get up in the morning. Does the alarm go off with a chaotic sound jarring you awake? This in itself causes increased blood pressure and anxiety levels. Do you hop out of bed before you are fully awake? Leaving part of you behind creates a day where you may find yourself lagging and not able to catch up. Do you open your eyes and think I wish this was over? A good way to set the day to collapse in on itself. Or are you the animal nature intended you to be? Someone who looks to the day with an openness and wonderment of mind? Do you take a moment to remember where you are and gather yourself together, to feel your body as it comes awake
and naturally stretches to release the kinks from sleep? If so, have a great day being alert, present, mindful and energized as well as feeling capable of exploring your day and the opportunities it has to offer. If you find you are still struggling check out the following chart for reminders on how to create the day you want.
