Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Please take a moment to settle in and close your eyes. Animals shake to release stress from their bodies. And so can you. Let's discharge what's been stuck.
This is a fun one.
Start by shaking out your hands, loose and easy. Now let it travel up to your arms, add your shoulders. If you can, bounce gently in your knees and lower legs, letting the shake move through your whole body. Don't make it pretty. Just let it be loose. Shake out the tension, the frustration, the held-in energy of your day. Let it move through and out. Keep it going for a few more moments. Now slow it down and come to stillness. Take a long, slow breath in. And hold it. And exhale out. Feel the tingling aliveness, the lightness. You just let something go. I am sending you so much love.
