Week 03: The Breath of Release
Love,
Welcome to Day 17 of The Gentle Descent: Clear.
The theme this week is: The Breath of Release.
Release creates room.
This week invites breath into the spaces Autumn has begun to clear.
Prana teaches that emptiness is not absence. Space can be restorative. It can allow perspective to return, the nervous system to settle, and new possibilities to become perceptible without demanding that we immediately pursue them.
The exhale is not the opposite of life.
It is part of its rhythm.
Our element is Air, and today’s prompt is:
Open the Inner Room
-
What thought or mental pattern has occupied enough space?
-
Notice what happens in your forehead, eyes, jaw, and breath when you stop following a thought.
***
Spend three minutes looking at the sky without doing anything else. -
I allow space between myself and my thoughts.
-
Sketch an open sky, clearing, or empty space.
