Give receiving the breath a try with this short practice. Settling into a comfortable seat, soften your gaze or close your eyes. Notice the body breathing. Breath moving in and down, up and out. Notice where you feel it and how it feels.
Then notice any bracing, holding, or tension. Can you soften any amount? Can you allow the body to welcome the breath in a posture of receiving? Notice how your system responds. Not striving or effecting. Just allowing.
Rest here for 1-5 minutes, enjoying the felt sense of the body receiving the breath. When you’re ready, gently open the eyes, noticing your space and taking any movements that would feel good.
Pause and notice how you feel. Where could you practice receiving in your life?
