Easy exhale.

Twice as full as you inhale.

Texture.

As you exhale,

It falls away from your hands.

You feel a little release.

As you explore the inside of your body now,

Explore what it's like to relax the weight in all of your arms,

All of your legs into gravity so that all the energy on the outer edges,

Right at the texture of the clothing or fabric around you,

That you explore all those edges,

Releasing into exploration inside.
