A quiet return to lightness

Red Buds - Washington DC

The Small Hop

Arrival Breath

Let the breath drop lower, into the belly.

Slow inhale through the nose.
Longer exhale through the mouth.

Again.
Nothing to force.

Let your body settle before you begin.

Practice

Stand relaxed.

Take three small, gentle hops.

Nothing big.
Barely leaving the ground.

Pause between each one.

Feel:

your feet leave
your feet land

It should feel almost unnecessary.
That’s the point.

A Small Reminder 🌿

You’re reminding the body
it can still feel light.

Optional Add-Ons

🌿 Family: Children usually understand this immediately. Count three hops together.

🌿 Daily Life: Try it between tasks, after sitting too long, or when the day feels heavy.

🌿 Virtual: Turn the camera off for a moment. Take three quiet hops beside your desk, then return refreshed.
