In this space. There's nothing to hold together. No mas. No posture. No perfection. This is your invitation to unwind. Slowly. Gently. From the inside out. And so starting by finding a comfortable position. You can be sitting or lying down. Wherever you feel supported. Let the ground meet you. Let gravity begin its work. Closing your eyes. If that feels okay. Or simply softening your gaze. And starting to let your body settle. A little more. Taking a soft breath in through the nose. And then even slower breath out through the mouth. Continuing in this way. Feeling yourself drop. A little deeper. No force. Just allowing. Tension doesn't unwind through force. And unravels through presence. And so if you're open to it. Let's take a journey through your body. Starting at the soles of your feet. Feeling them rest. Held by the floor. The warmth of your own presence. Returning to them. Starting to bring your breath there. With each exhale. Let any tightness begin to fade. You moving your awareness slowly. Into your ankle. Your shins. Here it comes. If you notice gripping. Or clenching. No need to fight it. Just staying with that breath. Inhaling into that place. And on the exhale experiencing a gently letting go and not slowly loosening. No Raj. No demand.
