I love the jellyfish metaphor, of opening and closing, contracting and expanding.... Just as our breath is dynamic, so are we. Thank you for this reflection! <3

Really appreciating this post! I am holding the details about contracting and overlaying what you have also shared around the backdraft. Thank you.

Thank you for helping me to re-remember this. The importance of allowing for the cushioning of recoiling from expansion and differentiation about the necessary slowing down in a pause to process and integrate (in contraction) vs the freeze response where we are stuck. Welcoming the contraction with compassion and grace for the wisdom of nature and cycling energies as a part of all processes.
