The common theme is exploring what’s possible when we are fully embodied. When we are connected with our wants, desires, needs. With our intuition, and our senses. When we pause in the split second before we make *meaning* about people/events and instead craft our action and word responses based on what our physicality is showing us *about ourselves* in the situation. Linda Kohanov reminds us that “healthy cynicism questions the self before others.” To be clear on what we bring to the table, we must know ourselves. Which means not just knowing how our minds work but also how our feet walk, how our breath shifts, where and how we have been taught to think in either/or.

For this week, more specifically, we are being invited to play. To laugh. To remember that seeds planted and nurtured with joy and discipline will yield better fruit than those simply toiled over. To know that our right actions can only be found on *our* path- not the path of another. As Mary Oliver says, “let the soft animal of your belly love what it loves.” That’s how you know you are on *your* path.

Open yourself to the feeling tone of the images. Notice what they awaken in you. Notice how your breath shifts, if it does. Notice if you close or open in response. Notice what memories or desires are stirred within you. Life is a series of unending recalibrations. The tiger is only a threat if it’s actively hunting, otherwise it’s just a tiger. Your body can discern. Your body allows for nuanced and flexible responses.
Courage, dear It’s time to come home.
