Release All Pressure

I've had a stiff neck for weeks.

I didn't do anything to injure myself, I was too busy to notice I was creating my own inner pressure cooker until I couldn't ignore it.

The beautiful thing about bodies is that they keep receipts and their feedback system is always on the money.

Along with a revamped meditation and newfound PT practice, writing has been the way I am releasing the pressure in this season.

All of my writing is a love letter to the parts of us that crave more tenderness.

And as I sat down to write this morning, I thought we could all use a little breather right now.

This one is for us.

Release All Pressure

Constriction pins us in.
Rigidity limits our choices. 
There's nowhere to grow inside the box.

For how long will we live with stiff necks and one way tickets to the places we'd rather not go?

At some point, the only option is to open the valve.
Break free from the chains that bind.
Expand beyond the confines of where we've been to inhabit all of ourselves.

Sure, pressure makes diamonds, but we are more precious than any stone.

It's time for fluidity and flow,
For new arrangements and honest ways of expressing who we are.
Genius needs room to grow and blossom into being.

Release all pressure and live, dear one.
