stirring with presence \ slow and deliberate

estimated time \ three minutes

step one \ find your stance
Stand tall at the counter, feet hip-width, knees soft, shoulders relaxed.

step two \ let your arms flow
Stir slowly and deliberately, tracing smooth circles. Notice how your body moves with each motion.

step three \ stretch as you go
Every few stirs, lengthen your spine, roll shoulders, or reach your arms overhead. Breathe in to lift, out to release tension.

step four \ pause and rest
Set the spoon down, take a deep breath, feel your body settle, and carry this calm into the next step of your cooking.
