Our bodies are energetic channels that move about this planet between the earth and the sky. This exercise is simple and reminds me to connect to both realms, starting with the earth.
Move your arms so one hand has your palm facing the ground, while the other hand has your palm open toward the sky. Breath in and imagine that your ground-facing palm is drawing in the energy of the earth. Really plant yourself and feel your feet on the ground. Imagine that 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. Keep your body in the same position. Just move your arms with your palms open flat.
Breathe in. Hold. Breathe out. Switch arms. This activates your body as a channel between the earth and sky and helps you find your place between the two.
