“We yawned a lot, without stretching, to feel vulnerable, we sighed in a high upper-chest range, long sighs of loss and we tried to relax our bodies into a ‘floppy’ state. The focus was on indulging in and enjoying the in-breath, drinking oxygen down. After half an hour, Enrique asked us if we started to feel ‘soggy’, and we were! Eyes were watering and noses running. We introduced sounds, weeping ‘rhubarb rhubarb’ with as much sense of loss and pathos as we could find.”
