Hello—
and welcome to the last full weekend of July. Here in the US, are you noticing that the days are just a bit shorter? the mornings darker? and the breezes have whispers of cooler air? As this coming and inevitable change begins, it can be a great time to reassess and reset for the last few months of the year. Adding a new practice or two and /or releasing ones that no longer serve us can be just what's needed to move
into the fall.
So as we're basking in the waning days of summer, let's consider a few ways to navigate the winding down and gearing up energy of this time of year.
In this week's videos, I looked at a simple yet very powerful breathing practice and I reframed just how "necessary" some of our "practices" are.
"Exhale...." (2:40)—When we opt to lengthen our exhales, it can soften the edges of a challenging moment, temper a charged situation and quell tensions. .

"Stop Practicing" (2:20)—Aren't there some things we already do so very well that we don't need to "practice" them anymore? (YouTube Link

In the meantime, here's to extending the length of your exhales and dropping any "practices" that you've already mastered.
Thanks much.
Until next time—
Cheers,
