The energy of summer brings an interplay of expansion and containment. Long days, travel, and events bring more opportunities for fun and social connection. At some point in the season, many of us feel burnt out and overextended.

There is a subtle art as I tune in and listen to my own capacity. The expansion is externalizing and releases pressure. Containment helps me replenish my reserves as I internalize my energy. Which is called for in this moment? I listen to the signals in body and mind, balancing along the spectrum of expansion and containment.
