The Body Held by Space

Sit comfortably or lie flat, body warm and relaxed. Most of the day the body feels held up by chairs, beds, the floor, the road beneath your shoes. Today, sense it differently. Imagine the body floating in open space, held not by any surface but by the gentle pressure of air all around it. The chair below is incidental. The real support is the wide openness in which the body sits. Stay with that felt-sense of being held by space. Heaviness softens, and even sitting feels almost like floating.
