Standing the Body Down

10 min

The thing you braced your whole self against has passed, but no one told the body, and it still hums at its old pitch. A session for the hours after pressure lifts, a slow way to let your shoulders, breath and nerves come down off their guard and meet the quiet on the far side.

Warm, low, unhurried

Warm and unhurried, with a low steady ease — the slow exhale at the end of a long day.
