Kosha Poem: Layer by Layer, I Come Home
Layer by layer
I come home.
First, the body.
Bone, muscle, pulse.
This landscape of earth and gravity
offers me a strong container for life’s journey.
Then breath,
tides moving through hidden channels,
currents whispering
‘you are alive, you are carried’.
Mind and emotion flicker,
firelight across the inner sky.
Stories rise, dissolve,
and I am no longer the storm,
but the one who watches the weather.
From the heart’s wide horizon
a wiser witnessing opens.
Beliefs loosen their knots.
Breeze flows freely.
I reside inside a larger truth.
And then I remember.
Inner fountain of joy without a reason.
Love without an object.
A spaciousness that opens
and includes everything.
The layers shimmer,
no longer walls
but translucent veils
through which light pours.
Body breathing,
mind resting,
heart radiant
and beneath it all
a steady sun
that has never once
stopped shining.

💗 A Practice for Openness, Compassion, and Inner Harmony
Welcome to this gentle restorative yoga practice devoted to the Heart Chakra – the energetic center of love, compassion, and connection. These heart chakra poses are designed to open your chest, soften tension around the shoulders, and invite a sense of ease throughout your body.
As you rest in each posture for one to five minutes, breathe into the space of your heart. Allow every exhale to release what’s no longer needed, and every inhale to welcome nourishment, warmth, and peace. May the practice of heart chakra poses help you reconnect with the quiet strength and radiant kindness that already live within you.
This practice is an excerpt from The Blooming Heart Yoga Series Workbook by Jennifer Reis Yoga.

There’s an energy point on your leg long regarded as a vitality well of strength and renewal by Traditional Chinese Medicine. With gentle pressure through Shiatsu Self-Massage on this Earth Meridian Channel, you can boost your immune system, revitalize your energy stores, strengthen digestion, and bring your whole being into balance.

Just a minute or two of care with this point can ripple through your entire being, reminding you how the smallest moments of attention can spark lasting well-being.
It’s been recommended that anyone over the age of 30 should perform Shiatsu Self-Massage to activate this point every day or daily-ish to help stay strong and vibrant. I hope you enjoy this easy path to wellness. All it requires is for you to do it!
