A Live Meditation with Mariane Karou that begins by grounding you fully in the support of the floor — letting the weight of your body dissolve into the earth — before moving your awareness through the body's energy centers one by one. You settle your attention into the chest, exploring the spacious cavern at the center of the sternum, then follow wherever the body calls you. From there the session guides a slow dissolution: energy dropping deeper and deeper into the earth, the mind clearing, the body becoming a field of sensation. The title is the thread: at each moment you are invited to notice whether you will stay right where you are or allow yourself to feel a little more.
