ADVICE

Use Breath As Your Anchor

  • Breathe into the heart area and lengthen the in-breath to collect attention and stabilize presence.
  • Relax the out-breath slowly and let the breath return to its natural rhythm to settle the body and mind.
ADVICE

Relax Key Tension Points

  • Scan the body and consciously relax tense areas like the jaw, brow, and shoulders.
  • Soften the hands and face to signal the nervous system to ease fight-or-flight responses.
INSIGHT

Sense From The Inside Out

  • Feel sensation from the inside out to deepen intimate awareness of hands, heart, belly, and pelvis.
  • This inward attention reveals subtle aliveness and supports receptive presence.
