@Mirja Van Staveren @Federica Tattoli @Heleen Imschoot @Sally Ashby @Christina Freise @Mercedes Rummel @Isabelle Muller You NOTICED. You shared. You noticed what your body is doing. You noticed your ribs. You noticed your belly. You noticed the pattern before trying to change it. And this is the practice. Nothing is wrong with any of the patterns. Maybe your ribs feel held. Maybe the belly pulls in. Maybe the breath stays high. Maybe the body does not want to expand yet. We are not here to force the body into “better breathing.”We are here to build a relationship. Today’s 1-minute practice: The 5% Softening Breath Place one hand on your ribs and one hand on your belly. Ask gently: “Can my ribs soften just 5%?”“Can my belly soften just 5%?”“Does my body feel safe enough to breathe 5% deeper today?” Then breathe normally. No fixing. No pushing. No big performance. Just notice: Where does the breath arrive? Where does it hesitate? Where does your body say, “not yet”? ‼️ That “not yet” is also information. That is the body communicating. 👉 Do this for just 1 minute a day. Your body may not trust the new pattern immediately, and that is okay. You are not installing a habit like an app. You are building trust with a living system. 👉 Repeat it for the next 6–9+ weeks. Little by little, the body learns: “I can come back here.” “I can soften.” “I can receive breath.” “I do not have to protect all the time.” This is how the nervous system works becomes embodied: not through intensity, but through repetition, safety, and tiny honest invitations. 👉 Today’s question: What did your ribs or belly tell you when you asked for only 5% more softness? 👇

A big warm welcome to all the new members joining us… and a huge congratulations for saying YES to yourself. You took action You chose movement over staying stuck. You chose listening over ignoring the signals. You chose possibility over postponing. That matters more than you know. @Mary Griffin @Haris K @Trudy Roberts @Amy McCormac @Liesbet W @Ashley Emerson @Zabrina Sofia Alexies Søgård @Ashley Ruiz @Ida Görsch @Tom Tucker @Catherine Middleton @Anya Mardy @Simonr Lin @Sally Ashby @Rob Archibold @Erin Riley @Elie J So many people live with: jaw tension clenching grinding headaches neck tightness facial fatiguestress held in the mouth and face …thinking it is normal. But the body is always speaking. And YOU chose to listen. 💫 You chose to begin shifting old patterns. 💫 You chose to create space where there was pressure. 💫 You chose softness where there was holding. 💫 You chose solutions instead of simply tolerating discomfort. This journey is not about forcing anything. It is about guiding the body back toward: freedom mobility ease breath relief a more pain-free jaw a calmer nervous system Every small practice matters. Every moment of awareness matters. Every time you soften your jaw, breathe deeper, or notice tension before it builds… you are changing something real.
