Lifting the Ocean into the Clouds

6 Repetitions Become water from an ocean between your knees, to the clouds over your head, to the rain coming down the mountains, pausing at high meadow and valley lakes, fast moving mountain rivers, big plateau lakes, long snake like rivers for thousands of miles until returning to the ocean.

Inhale deeply and quickly as your reach upward. Sigh as your fingers fall like rain.

Expanding like the Sun

9 Breaths        Three breaths focused on embodiment, three on your breathing muscles and timing, and three on self-expression - like Kelp in an Ocean, while watching the Sun on the water.

Settle like Kelp in an Ocean of Wine
