3Sit with this
- What fear have you been holding so tightly that your hands have forgotten what it feels like to open?
- What might the water be waiting to show you on the other side of it?

If someone is missing from your life right now, this one is for you. If not, keep it for a day you need it.
Let go of the wall
In a pool or a warm bath, let the water take a little of your weight for one minute.
Go gently in water. Never float alone, and if you have a health condition or are pregnant, check with your doctor before warm-water practices.
