Yes, I know what you think of me, you never showed up. Never showed up. I salute to you, Commander, and the Ice Knees. Welcome to Never Shut Up on your host Rose Crest.
Today is February 16th, 2026. We are talking about Yo George would have been fitting song for today because in the US today is President's Day, where we're supposed to celebrate, ooh, are some of our commanders, point we've had some really, really bad ones, including the one who the song was written about, but do I hope she reinvents it and it becomes about the madness of King Donald for this coming tour? Yeah, I totally do. We've been looking, and we can't seem to find that sense of justice or balance anywhere out of the millions from the deserts to the mountains of her prairies to the shores.
We've been looking, and we can't seem to find it anywhere. So we have to find the sense of balance and justice within ourselves. And that's what this song, the energy of the song, is about, is it's sneering in the face of the regime, while we look for that balance. And you know, Yo George, King George, King Donald has the whole nation on all fours, and would better place the start than where we are, on all fours, in take a position.
So don't do this if you're driving. Come down into take position, the hands start underneath the shoulders, the knees underneath the hips, but when you take your hands slightly in front of the shoulders and slightly wider apart from the shoulders, this is going to support you, especially if you have wide shoulders, we need to give the shoulders room to move. We are not rectangular creatures, we are not living in a box. We're not made of the box, and yet somehow we spend our whole lives trying to fit and squares and rectangles because, well, that's what's easiest to manufacture in the world of manufacturing.
So it's time to snap out of that box a little bit and open your arms for a little more space. This is actually going to free up your elbows, and your shoulders, and allow the energy to move through you, and that's what we need when we're in the table practice, but we're going to be doing some back breathing here. Because look, chaos around you is never going to change. It is always going to be chaotic around you.
You might also always be chaotic within you. Some of us are born with certain biochemical deficiencies or imbalances, and so we need a little extra help, and so chaos is always present. In some form, chaos is always present, and it is unavoidable. But we have this beautiful opportunity to find internal stability, internal, inner peace, and when that piece is no longer disrupted by the chaos that surrounds us and flows through us.
Then we truly are the yogi. So in your table position, release your head, that's representative of your ego, and invite the breath to begin moving into the back of the body, feel the breath expanding into the back of the body. 60% of your lung tissue is in the back of your body, so you find 100% of your breath to travel there. And then when you exhale, think about lengthening, like we're moving into that search, like we're looking over the prairies, this body becomes a long, and then on the inhales, we're breathing into and across the horizon, from sea to shining sea, that expansiveness across the horizon of the back.
Then the exhales is to continue a lengthening of the crown of the head, away from the tailbone. As you feel, all of the muscles in the body, contracts to support this length and extension. Every inhale expands through the back of the body, every exhale lengthen through the spine, finding your own way, your own pathway. As your inhales deep and your tailbone might begin to tip under and point towards the floor, and then on the exhale tailbone reaches back, as the spine gets super long, and we land in that sense, a stability with the exhale.
So important we do practices like this to support ourselves because the next thing we do is step out into the madness of King George of King Donald of whoever is causing madness, and yet you can be in your center, balanced, clear, focused, and moving forward with ease. Keep breathing, and with that, I thank you for joining me and Tori for a little mental yoga today. Remember, five minutes of breathing like this will change your life so much more than 60 minutes of doing this once a week. I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
