Stand on a solid surface with your feet together.
Soften around your knees and relax your shoulders and arms.
Take a few full breaths.
Keeping your eyes open,
Fix a soft gaze on a point that doesn't move.
A few feet in front of you.
Bring your attention to your feet and legs and notice any sensations present.
As you root your right foot down and lengthen all the way to the top of your head,
Lift your left heel.
Notice any sensations in your right ankle,
Wobbling or pulsing for example.
Embrace whatever sensations are present.
Lift your left foot to place the heel to the inside of your right ankle,
Your right calf,
Or your right inner thigh.
Avoid placing the foot against the right knee.
Breathe naturally in this balance pose.
If you like,
Bring your hands into prayer position in front of the chest or reach your arms to the sky or ceiling.
Over your left foot and feel both feet,
Ankles,
Legs.
Notice any urge to shake it out.
Resist the urge and instead,
Stand mindfully.
Feel balance returning on its own.
Whenever you're ready,
Repeat this on the other side.

Pray the you you
