Lowering Into Rest

13 min

Follow the slow, controlled descent into a chair, bed or cushion, noticing the brief effort required to lower well rather than collapse. Attention settles on the precise instant your weight passes into the surface beneath you—the quiet handover from holding to being held. Gravity carries what the body no longer needs to keep lifting.

Soft, spacious, calm

Soft and spacious, with room between every line — lets a busy mind settle in its own time, never pushed.
