What the Body Kept

When the body integrates an experience — a peak of awareness, an emotional shift — the nervous system undergoes a slow consolidation process. Heart rate variability rises as the parasympathetic system moves to the foreground; the tissue that was braced begins to soften.

The full moon showed you something. Now your body is digesting it.

Place both feet flat on the floor — feel the pressure, steady and real. Bring one hand to your sternum. Sense the warmth beneath your palm, the small lift and fall of breath. Scan slowly downward: jaw, throat, chest, belly. Where does the tissue feel soft? Where does it hold? Don't fix anything. Just witness what your body has been quietly processing since the light peaked.
