Posture #2: Posture for Awareness

This episode of Tools of Awakening explores the subtle but powerful connection between posture and presence. Pernilla and Abdi discuss how something as simple as aligning the back of the head and chin can profoundly shift our state of being—bringing calm, clarity, and a sense of ease to both the body and mind. Posture, often overlooked, becomes a gateway to grounding and greater awareness.
