The Practice of Living Awareness
STEP FIVE: SOFTEN, OPEN, AND RELEASE
The flow of receiving continues in Step 5 by going into the experience of release. Release requires softening and opening as well - our lungs prove this every time we breathe. Sharing, adjusting, allowing, giving, forgiving, recognizing, and accepting all incorporate aspects of Steps 4 and 5. Release makes flow possible by creating space for the new. We are given many opportunities for release during a meditation sitting - the experience can move from settling to presence to the sublime.
