Allow for at least 30 minutes. You will need your pre-prepared Balloon-Tight Ring and a comfortable place to sit and rest.
This Somatic Act can be experienced as a solo, duet or group.
Return to your Balloon-Tight Ring.
Re-tie the tights to make a linear balloon-tight form
with the two balloon-filled tight-legs
next to each other.
And then placing the linear balloon-tight form
on the floor
to one side for later.
Begin resting on the floor,
on your back
noticing how the touch
of your body
meets the touch
of the floor...
Breathing.
Noticing the places
where you body contacts the floor
or where there is space between
the floor and your body...
Allowing time and spaciousness…
Slowly roll to one side,
to rest on your belly
adjusting the position
of your legs
to find what is
comfortable for you.
Noticing your breathing
and where the contact of your
body meets the floor…
With each breath,
allowing the weight
of your body
to sink a bit further
into the floor.
Allowing any arising tension
to begin to soften
and unravel.
Allowing time and spaciousness…
Slowly, finding a transition
to placing
the Balloon-Tight-Legs
on the floor
underneath your belly-torso
following your spine
as you continue
lying and resting.
The top of the Balloon-Tight-Legs
will lie just below your chin
but do adjust the placement
to support your comfort
your head
rests on either cheek
on the floor
Allow the weight of your body
to settle
sensing the suspension
of the balloons
supporting you
meeting the touch
of your body
Adjust and change
the position of your legs
or arms
as you need.
Allowing time and spaciousness…
And then return to lying on your belly
without the Balloon-Tight-Legs.
How are you contacting the floor now?
Allowing the body to rest...
Allowing time and spaciousness…
Finding a transition
to placing the Balloon-Tight-Legs
on the floor
under your back
following your spine
as you are lying
and resting
The top of the Balloon-Tight-Leg
will lie near the back of your neck
with your back of the head
resting on the floor
but do adjust the placement
to support your comfort
you can place a cushion
if you need
under your head.
Noticing your breathing…
Allowing the weight
of your body
to sink into the balloons
as the balloons are rising
to meet your body
with their sense of suspension.
Allowing time and spaciousness…
As you are ready,
slowly rolling away
from the Balloon-Tight-Legs
lying on your back
and sensing the contact
of your body
on the floor now.
How is your breathing?
Adjust and shift the body
slightly, for your comfort
and as you need.
Allowing time and spaciousness…
From this deep place of rest,
allowing the eyes to open.
With the support of an exhale,
finding a way to roll to one side
rising to your feet
and eventually
finding a slow, gentle walk
around your place
as you breathe
to transition
Allowing time…
