Our bodies are energetic channels between the earth and the sky. This exercise is simple and reminds me to connect to both of them.
Place one hand with your palm facing the ground and the other hand with your palm facing the sky. Breath in and imagine that your ground-facing hand is drawing in the energy of the earth, while your sky-facing hand is drawing in the energy and the power of the heavens. As you breath out, switch hands and face them in opposite directions. Stay in that position. Breathe in. Hold. Breathe out. Switch. This activates your body as a channel between the earth and sky and helps you find your place between the two.
