Bring the hands in front of the body like two bowls and allow them to stream down slowly. With the feeling as if you have something in your hands that you give over to the earth. As you slowly turn the fingers down, Relax the wrists and fingers, and let it stream down far into the depths. When simultaneously staying aware of your body in streaming down, you will notice an inner upstreaming setting in shortly after beginning. On the way down, you are active.
Within the current rising from below, you are passive. The deeper you are able to sense down into the depths, the freer the middle becomes. Then you can say, I am here.
