Practice #2.2: The Spine (Beginner)

A gentle way to settle into the present moment


Welcome back to the Sacred. Beginner Series.

As we move into Practice 2.2, we meet the spine because it quietly supports everything else.
When the spine settles into its natural lift, the whole body follows.
A gentle dignity.
A soft awakening.

We continue here so the rest of the series can rest on this simple, steady foundation.

Thank you so much for sharing this practice with me! 🩵

All too often our socalled strength comes from fear, not love; instead of having a strong back, many of us have a defended front shielding a weak spine…. If we strengthen our backs and develop a spine that’s flexible but sturdy, then we can risk having a front that’s soft and open, representing choiceless compassion. The place in your body where these two meet — strong back and soft front — is the brave, tender ground” - Joan Halifax
