Honoring Water and Fire Elements

Deep Relaxation and Expansion

• 🧘‍♂️ Let go of all effort and just relax, allowing any thoughts to come and go.
• 👣 Bring attention to your feet with a smile, and as you breathe in, let your attention rise to the top of your head.

Dissolving Fatigue and Divine Grace
