Practice

A guided meditation for this month because this month has us feeling all the things.

And if we’re not conscious of what’s happening internally we may be hard on ourselves, or short with the people around us, or spend more time on the couch staring at the wall, or acting like everything’s great by working extra hard and exercising more than usual and cleaning and planning and essentially doing everything BUT feeling our feelings.

An ignored feeling is an elephant in the room. It’s not going anywhere till you do something with it, and by not doing anything with it you’re whole life will revolve around ignoring it.

So this meditation is an invitation to tune in, see what’s up, and reclaim your always-there power.

This breathing exercise will immediately support your effort to soothe your nervous system and remain present.

Good for any time of the day.

This 45 minute practice focuses on specific exercises - movement and breathing - to help alleviate the intensity of stress and especially anxiety in your system. This is a great practice for any time of the day or night, and whether or not you feel anxious in the moment. The more you establish mindfulness into your daily routine, the easier it will be to navigate anxiety and even panic attacks as they arise.

No props are needed, but feel free to supplement as feels good for you.

While it is not a prenatal practice it is safe for prenatal bodies. Let me know if you have any questions, and remember: if something hurts, don’t do it!

This 25 minute practice includes brief, gentle movement to open up the torso and make space for full breaths. Then together we’ll move into breath counting and variations of alternate nostril breathing.

Continued focus on the breath settles the mind, and when we intentionally, gently, stress the nervous system and resolve it through these breathing exercises we build resilience.

Comfy seat is all that is required.
