The morning sun glistened across the calm blue waters of the cove as Miyuki waded out. She was eager to learn how to float on her own today. Stopping when the water reached her chest, she tilted her head back, feeling the cool water envelop her ears. Taking a deep breath, she allowed her body to straighten and go limp, her arms and legs extending outward. She focused on keeping her chest open and spine aligned as her lungs expanded with air. Feeling the buoyancy take hold, Miyuki relaxed further, trusting the water to support her weight. Her fingertips hovered just above the surface, helping her find balance. She took in the serenity of floating freely and smiled up at the cloudless sky, proud of achieving this new skill. The stillness of the cove cradled her gently as Miyuki enjoyed a peaceful moment of mindful floating.
