My word for 2026 is “ease” which is commonly referred to as “Sukha” in the yoga sutras.
In massage therapy, ease in the body emerges when the nervous system feels safe when slow listening touch is offered.
When appropriate pressure is used.
When we wait for the body to respond rather than pushing.
When we practice holding space.
The breath becomes smooth with an unforced inhalation and exhalation.
We become mindful where we pay attention without tension and there becomes engagement without clinging or resistance.
Do you have a word for 2026?
