Straight Back, Soft Belly is a gentle way to use the body to support a calm and focused mind. It begins by finding a posture that feels both relaxed and awake — not stiff, but not slouchy either.

Sitting with a straight back helps the body feel steady and supported, like a strong tree trunk. Then, by softening the belly, you can let go of any tightness and allow your breath to move more freely.

This simple combination can help the body settle and the mind feel clearer, making it a helpful practice to return to throughout the day.
