The Headless Chicken
What would it feel like to be headless? To live fully in the body, unburdened by the constant chatter of the mind? This practice invites you to experience a new way of being—without the weight of the head, without the noise. It’s a practice that opens the door to profound silence and a deeper connection to the heart.
A Practice of Weightlessness
Stand or sit comfortably. Close your eyes and begin by imagining your head disappearing, leaving only your body. Picture it—your shoulders, your chest, your legs—alive, grounded, and free.
Focus on the sensation of being headless. Feel the absence of the mind’s constant chatter, the space where thoughts usually rush in.
If you can, visualize yourself without a head in the mirror. Notice how the body feels without the weight of the mind, how stillness can emerge in the emptiness.
As you move through your day, keep this image in your mind. Let yourself remember that you are not your thoughts. You are the body, the breath, the heartbeat.
Let the silence grow, let the weightlessness deepen. The more you practice, the more you will feel anchored in the present, deeply centered in your heart.
