Have you ever felt like someone has pulled the rug out from under you? Perhaps you've felt ambushed by their action, some unkind words, or a betrayal. 

When I feel like something has been stuck to me, it helps me to -- quite literally -- sweep it off my skin. 

This Personal Practice will incorporate breath, mantra, and self-touch.

Take this practice at your own pace, and be easy with yourself. It can be particularly helpful to engage with this practice in a moment where you can step away, and find yourself in a space that feels safe, quiet, and private. 

Please know that if you are experiencing big distress professional help is always available.
