Description

In Week 1, Suniti invites us into dialogue with our body and the way in which it is connected to the earth. Through a variety of shapes, we tune inward to the subtle realm while moving through fluid and grounding postures. For homework, we are invited to journal on the sensations that arise when tuning into the heart space and to consider the question: Where is the earth in this place?

See attached .PDF for the homework this week.

This was deeply grounding...throughout the practice I felt almost “glued” to the earth beneath me. I also experienced an almost mysterious sense of longing that I just can’t place...perhaps the homework and journaling will help me find the answer... I just love this deep diving into the somatic realm 🙏🏻

Love that expansiveness coming from being rooted then feeling the whole earth beneath us.  (“I feel the earth under my skin.....”. Carol King sang through my mind.)

@Jenny, glued to the earth! Sounds like you are being held. I agree, that mysterious longing sounds like a good entry for journaling. Where do you feel that longing in your body?
