Remember how resilient you are through this guided meditation. Here, you will be led through a few tangible ways to practice approaching discomfort with curiosity and sitting with it rather than responding with automatic actions or behaviors.
This guided meditation is designed to be practiced before big gatherings or social events (often found in the holiday season!) that may deplete your energy from having to navigate frustrating conversations, challenging emotions, and/or family dynamics.
Beginning the practice of tuning inward and listening to the body is not easy or comfortable for most of us at first. This quick meditation (which does not take up all 15 minutes, the first 5 minutes I am setting the stage for what we are doing) will guide us through a practice of noticing a more neutral experience in the body. This is a great place to start if you are new to this, and it will give us a baseline to return to throughout our embodiment journey.
In this 10 minute class, you will be guided through a specific breath practice to support better digestion, promote relaxation, and settle the nervous system into a parasympathetic state (rest and digest). This class could be supportive before, during, or after eating and around times when you feel activated, stressed, or overwhelmed.
Having self compassion is a challenging and elusive practice for many of us, however most of us have experienced compassion given to us from someone else. Using a visualization technique, we will gather this outside compassion and bring it into our present moment experience.
Many different physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts may arise after eating a meal. Use this meditation as a tool to practice resilience while sitting with whatever it is that is coming up for you
