The Elements · III of IV
Sky
Opening. Breath widening into the ribs, the mind clearing, and the space where presence appears.
Sky is expansion. The chest opening, the breath widening into the ribs, front, sides, and back, the room that appears when you make a little space to be still.
A practice in this element lengthens rather than forces. Space is created and then filled with breath, so both the body and the mind grow roomier from the inside.
