Week 03: The Breath of Release
Love,
Welcome to Day 16 of The Gentle Descent: Exhale.
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:
Lengthen the Letting Go
-
What might I be ready to breathe out of my life?
-
Notice your natural exhale. Gradually allow it to become slightly longer than your inhale without strain.
***
Take five slow breaths, giving particular attention to each exhale. -
With each breath, I create room within me.
-
Draw your exhale as a line moving away from the body.
