To feel and sense lightness, merge with gravity. Sense heaviness first. Soften your approach. Melt down, feel down instead pf press.

Concentrate and allow the yummy side.

Be tender (present) with yourself during practice. Be in the feeling state.
Communicate with area(s) of trauma, gripping, tension. Use words, breath, listening. Don't try to fix it.
