Craniosacral

A listening so quiet it can hear the cerebrospinal weather. Hands hover or rest. The body reorganizes when it is not being asked to perform.

A first walk

  1. 1

    Lie down. Let the head be heavy.

  2. 2

    Hands on the sides of the head, or one at the occiput, one at the sacrum if you can reach — or just imagine that span.

  3. 3

    Ask nothing. Wait for a tide: a tiny swell, a pause, a returning.

  4. 4

    Stay through two or three tides. Then sit up as if you were made of water.
