Recently a friend shared a lovely and inspiring idea that I have made into an intention: to wear life like a loose garment.
Discomfort or pain in the body is anything but loose! They are both forms of tightness, lack of space–life being constricted.
Whether in meditation or a yoga pose, try to breathe into this tightness. Expand it with your breath. Breathe out and let it relax. Repeat this again and again, breathing in and breathing out….
Watch what happens. Do not judge it or anything that might come up.
Just be with it, as you loosen your “garment,” honoring life, setting it free to express itself.
