Chrysalising

Today's Episode :

It will sound like a repeat of Episode #1, just without the context setting and introduction to the series, and it is! For those of us, who want to go straight into the practice without having to listen to the story. And enjoy the birds chirping in!

Centering & Grounding : helps us to know where we are in time and space. Grounds us in the present moment so that we are poised to begin or commence anything.

Context :

A new wave of adjustments are upon us in Singapore : We will be moving into Phase #1  - Safe Re-Opening next week.

With this new wave of change, we might notice a plethora of thoughts, emotions and physical sensations arise, as we make sense of the new flow of being in this state of affairs.

This new series aims to be a support to teachers, parents, and anyone who might find themselves caught in a moment of flurry, and just some time and space to calm down, recalibrate, and be with themselves and their breath.

May you be well, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be free from suffering.
