Let It Go

As you prepare for your next evening cheering session out into the night air for our brave medical community and essential workers during this vital time, I invite you to take 10 short breaths through your nose in a way that feels comfortable to you.  Feel the energy and life force build within you as you breathe in rhythm.  At the end of the series, go ahead and open that window or move out onto your balcony and release all that energy by shouting 'THANK YOU!' to our brave friends who are relentlessly offering their expertise and support for all of us as a community everyday.

Feel free to repeat this as many times as you want during that magic 3 minute nightly celebration - maybe even getting louder and more powerful each time.

When you feel finished with this practice for now, I invite you to then perhaps take a few moments to write down a list of ways that you have felt your well being supported by another person over the years - or practices you have been or are currently cultivating to support yourself during this time. And then if you haven't already, I invite you to reach out to those folks who sprung to your mind - and give them a 'THANK YOU!' shoutout whether near or far.  Other options could be to reach out to someone and share your self care practices that have been grounding for you recently or ask them how they've been steadying themselves with all the constant shifts.

This practice may offer us an opportunity to both release stagnant energy, and also share gratitude in an embodied way.

Take Care...
