In Chinese medicine, your heart and mind are one and are represented by a small red bird. When this bird is overwhelmed by thoughts, emotions, or tension, it leaves the nest or tree to find the space it needs to feel clear and steady.
The same thing happens when your mind is overwhelmed. As the thoughts and emotions swirl and build, they leave you feeling scattered, unclear, and maybe even disconnected from yourself.
Reconnecting with your body brings you back home. It gives your mind a place to rest and reminds it that you are not alone. That it’s okay to take a break from all of the thoughts and listen to the inner wisdom within you as well as the support that is around you.
Bringing Down the Heavens, the form we’ve practiced here, is a wonderful way to do this as it invites you to pause, ground yourself in nature, and welcome in the energy that is always here to nourish you throughout your day.
Use this practice to open your day, as a break when you need it, or even before you go to bed to settle yourself into rest.
Try it and share your thoughts below. I’d love to hear what you notice.
