It so often happens in the Winter holiday season that we go “home” or to relatives, parents, or loved ones—loaded not only with presents, but with all sorts of expectations, hopes, and unfulfilled longings from the past. The early darkness and cold weather conspire to bring up our deeper, darker layers of feeling.
Stage 1: Standing, Shaking, like in Kundalini Meditation.
Stage 2: Sitting or standing and Laughing out loud for no reason; and if tears are there, cry, weep, grieve for no reason, don’t force, and keep the body moving, let it change; either laughter or tears.
Stage 3: Sitting, Swaying like seaweed in the ocean — hug yourself and/or a pillow; softly say whatever your heart needs to say, to whomever.
Stage 4: Lie down, relax, be still and watchful.

- Be alone in a room, dimly lit and warm enough. Light a candle…
- Let each stage be either 5 minutes, or 10 or 15. Whatever fits for you at the moment, but four equal stages, totaling 20, 40, or 60 minutes.
- Use suitable music that touches you, for a background. Feel and express whatever needs to be thrown out from your body. Move whatever is energetically stuck inside, especially around the heart, the throat, and the belly.
