  • Summary

  • Hello friends, for today's practice we're continuing with all the many metaphors water gives us. Water allows and flows. A small and persistent drop of water can erode rock. Water is life.

    Like a little boat bobbing on a lake, we explore soft rocking movements while being aware of the ebb and flow of our internal sensations.

    We engage with a bit of catch and release of the wild psoas. One of my teachers, Liz Koch, is fascinated with the psoas and she refers to it as wild. Wild as in untamed or feral or perhaps even a little uncivilized. The psoas will not be domesticated.

    Are you familiar with the psoas? It hugs your lower back and connects your legs to your hips. It's got a big job; it's a very strong muscle and kind of elusive or wild. It responds best to releasing and allowing rather than force. Doesn't that remind you of water?

    So please, gather whatever you need to find deep comfort and rest. Perhaps some warm socks, a blanket, or soft candlelight. Whatever it is you require, gather it in and let's get into some Somatic Solace.
