02. A soft rebirth
00:01:01 Malin Pousette: This is a little bonus episode. A quiet offering for the Easter weekend. The Tiny Letters podcast is still so new, only just finding its voice. And I wanted to pause here. In this gentle moment of spring. To give you something soft to breathe with. Maybe your days are full right now. Family, food, movement, traditions. Or maybe they feel quieter than you expected. A little tender, a little lonely, maybe a little still. However this weekend is meeting you, you are so welcome here. Because Easter holds more than tradition. It carries an energy. The energy of rebirth. Of returning to life. Of racing again after a long, quiet season. And not loudly. Not all at once. But slowly. Softly. Just like the Earth does. The snow melts. The buds appear. The light shifts. And within you, something stirs too. Something that has been resting. Waiting. Perhaps even frozen. Ready now to move. Let's breathe with that. A gentle breath and reflection journey.
00:02:40 Malin Pousette: somewhere quiet. Even for just a few minutes. let your body settle. Let your shoulders drop. Let your breath begin to soften. Close your eyes if that feels good for you. And take a slow, full inhale through your nose. And a gentle exhale out through your mouth. Again, inhale through your nose, down your chest. And into your belly. Feel that your ribs are expanding. And when you feel ready, just slowly exhale it out.
00:03:37 Malin Pousette: Maybe soften your jaw a bit. With the exhale, just release the weight. One more time. Inhale. And just feel the new energy, the expansion in your chest. And exhale as you're letting go of winter. Now imagine that you are a seed. You're nestled deep in the soil. You're held. You're safe. And it's still here. But something is about to shift. You can feel that the ground is warming around you.
00:04:31 Malin Pousette: You can feel that the light is calling you. Without rushing, without needing to know how, are beginning to rise. What part of you is ready to come back to life? What is quietly stretching inside you? What wants to grow this season? Remember, there are no right answers here. Just a breath. Just your awareness. Just the beginning of your own quiet blooming. Now bring one hand to your heart and one hand to your belly. And let your body feel the rhythm of your breath. Let your nervous system
00:05:27 Malin Pousette: in the knowing that you're allowed to begin again. You are allowed to grow slowly. You're allowed to bloom in your own timeline. Inhale one more time. And just sight it out. You are here and that is enough. Let this season remind you that life returns. Joy returns. You return again and again and again, just like spring. And whenever you feel ready, you can slowly open up your eyes. And just take a look around your environment. How does it feel? You started to blooming. Until next time,
00:06:34 Malin Pousette: let's begin within.
