Reconnect: Simple Meditations for Presence
Six minute meditations to facilitate your return to the simplicity of the here and now.
Day 3
Relaxation
Welcome to Day 3!
Each day can be listened to in a quiet space alone but they were also designed to be taken out in the world! You will see that our points of focus in each clip are quite simple to access when you are at work, walking somewhere, or in line at the grocery store.
* How to set up for each session: Preparation for meditation can often be helpful so that the mind and body sink more quickly into focus. There are a variety of yoga and breathing classes on my YouTube channel to support whatever you need, before a seated meditation or perhaps instead of it!
Day 3 - Relaxation
A practice to better understand how anxiety lives in the physical body and how to return to relaxation again and again. Explore humming to soothe the mind's wandering and strengthen the Vagus Nerve (ie our calming response). Enjoy a gentle body scan to soften how anxiety lives in the body. It's necessary for the body to release the armour of hardness - this is the only way it can absorb new information that will enable change.
Questions for reflection / journaling:
Finish this sentence, "Dear Body, thank you for...."
When do you feel totally in the flow and aligned with life? Who is with you and what are you doing?
How do you care for your body, how do you give it rest?
