lyrics

Let your body lean in to whatever is closest to you. Maybe you sit back deeper into your chair, or lean up against a wall. Just let all of your weight sink into the surface.

Close your eyes. Breathe slowly, in through your nose. Exhale through your mouth.

Plant your feet solidly on the ground, the whole surface of your foot supports you.

Now slowly let your shoulders fall, with your hands going slack. Feel a stream of energy, pulled down over your shoulders, through your arms and out the bottom of your fingertips.

Slowly make your way, sinking from your knees, folding down to the floor. Just let yourself rest here. for a moment. Breathing in through your nose, out through your mouth.

Pull your knees in towards your chest, draw your head in close, and squeeze closer.

Let your eyes rest. All of your weight is seeping into the floor, releasing more pressure with each exhale.

Now let your arms come to your sides. Place your palms flat to the ground, with fingers spread, and begin pushing your weight into them.

Use your hands to pull yourself forward, leaving your legs dragging behind.

Just a few steps, that’s good.

Let any muscle not necessary to your movement stay relaxed. Your head hangs between your shoulders.

Now use your arms to push your body up, slowly making your way back to standing, with each vertebrae coming into place, stacking one on top of the other. Pull yourself up the ladder step by step until your neck falls into position, gazing forward.

Lift your arms up beside you until they make a perfect, straight line.

Step your right leg forward, and just let your body occupy as much space as possible.

This is a position of power.

This is a position of potential.

This is a position of authority.

This is a position of influence.

This is a position of sway.

This is a position of confidence.

This is a position of potency.

This is a position of power.
