Release Tension: Belly Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

We're so hard on our bellies. Trying to contain and control them. Criticizing ourselves for what we do or don't put into them. Clamping down on them when they try to send us signals. And then wondering why they don't effortlessly digest, relax, look great, and let us get on with our lives. Today's Embodied Meditation offers breathing, movement, and a guided meditation to relieve all that tension, then tap into the deep wisdom of your gut instinct.

Valentine Metta Practice Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

There's lots of commercial & cultural pressure this time of year to be partnered up and blissfully in love. But the ancient systems of yoga and meditation have been celebrating the deeper energy and symbolism of the heart for thousands of years. This week's Embodied Meditation offers a short sequence to gently open and stimulate the space around the physical heart, then finishes with a classic Metta meditation practice designed to extend the energy out and remind us that we're all connected.

Earlliest Spring Stirrings Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

In older ways of tracking time, the first days of February in the Northern Hemisphere marked the earliest stirrings of springtime energy, with subtle signs of life beginning to yawn and stretch awake. Even if you're still covered in snow or wrapped up against the cold, the light is beginning to shift, and your own system may be yearning to stir and shrug off a layer of winter. Today's Embodied Meditation offers a short sequence and guided breathing practice to help you do that.

Progressive Relaxation Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

Today's Embodied Meditation is short, sweet, and adaptable. It's a progressive, full-body relaxation you can tap into anytime you feel keyed up and want to calm down. Use it before an important meeting, presentation, or conversation; as a movement and meditation break in the middle of a busy day; or as a lovely little nightcap to help you unwind.

Seeds of the New Year Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

At this cusp of a new calendar year, there's lots of pressure to burst onto the scene with a shiny new to-do list—a stack of resolutions to tackle. But what our natural systems often want instead, in deep winter, is to gently nurture intuition, dreams, and tiny seeds of possibility. This week's Embodied Meditation is a simple ritual that invites you to go slow and stretch gradually into the year ahead.
