The Ink & Asana 5-Day Sanctuary
Welcome to Day 5! The Day 5 video and writing prompt options are below. I invite you to review the writing prompts before you play the video, to help you focus as you move.
Take your time, and enjoy this mini-break that you have given yourself: just a few moments of mindful movement to connect with your body, then some thoughtful journaling to connect with your mind. Together, they nourish the soul.
Day 5
On Day 5, we restore: relax, release, and open our hearts. Fluid circles open the side body, creating space around the heart and ribs. Life is rarely a straight line; today we honor the curves. -Laura
Writing Prompt: Stress/Overwhelm
-
✺
The side stretch creates space to breathe. Stress constricts us. Where do you need more “breathing room” in your life? Is it in your schedule? Your relationships? Your expectations? Write down one way you can create a pocket of space today.
Writing Prompt: Life’s Transitions
-
✺
Transitions are never linear. They circle back and forth. Reflect on a recent change. Where are you fighting the current? White about what it would look like to “flow” with this change, rather than force, or fight against it.
Writing Prompt: Grief/Loss
-
✺
Grief comes in waves, not straight lines. How is your grief shifting today compared to yesterday or last month? Write about the “motion” of your healing. Is it a circle? A rollercoaster? Ocean waves?
