Thanks, Paulette, for this invitation. What a gift to be given permission to loosen one's grip. With everything going on in the world and in life on a smaller scale, it is a gentle, calming voice that comes through when I lean into your offering here.
I love the idea of allowing my grip on anything to loosen. If I'm holding on with a tight grip then my whole body is tight. Gently opening my hand lets me see more clearly what I'm holding on to so I can better evaluate.
Yes! When I was teaching asana in the studio used to call it ‘the death grip.’ I’d see it in my students’ faces and in their bodies. We’re such beautiful mirrors of each other.

I’m so happy to hear that, Jennifer. We so often forget to give ourselves permission to do so. I appreciate you being here.
Such a good start! Opening my hands is one of my first steps in calming down, right after 2 deep breaths. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
Yes! I notice how many times in the day I’m clenching my hands. Remembering to open and close them a couple of times helps me to let go.

Thanks for being here, Chitra.
I feel peace just from reading this. How wonderful that you are doing this series, Paulette!
Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your support - I think we can all use a little extra.
It is sooo needed!!! 💝
I even feel it in my breath - or lack of it when I’m holding on too tight.
