The moment you are touched, your body changes more than you think

The feeling that won't go away
does not change only when you do something.

In fact, when you are doing nothing,
it may have already begun to move ever so slightly.

Your breathing changes just a little.
The sensation of being touched becomes just a little clearer.

That change is so small
that you might overlook it if you aren't conscious of it.

But that difference certainly remains.

Changes that happen naturally
can sometimes last deeper than when you try to change something yourself.

The body
reacts before you even think it does.

It is just that before you notice that reaction,
your consciousness returns to the outside world.

For example, in a fleeting moment,
your breathing may have become a little deeper.

Even though you didn't consciously try to do anything,
it has changed just a little bit from a moment ago.

If you leave it as it is,
the change will continue even more slowly.

You don't have to force it to be deeper,
and you don't have to try to fix it.

Just don't get in the way of that change.

With just that,
the body will naturally move in the direction of releasing tension.

What is important here
is not to think about "how to release it."

The moment you start looking for a method,
the body becomes a little stiff again.

Rather than that,
it is better to notice the changes that are already happening.

When you notice,
the body finds it easier to continue that flow.

And one more thing.
