Come back to the center of your being.
Guided meditation and yoga nidra
Give yourself some space.
Step back and notice.
What do you notice?
When most people think about meditation, sitting still while your back is hurting and your mind is racing and how boring it is are all huge deterrents that create massive resistance.
What meditation actually is - a much needed break in the middle of the day, a chance to catch your breath in an otherwise overpacked schedule, and a moment to yourself when there are so many demands and expectations pulling you in 50 different directions - can be a lot more inviting.
The way I teach meditation centres a lot around what the body feels right now, what you feel right now, and how we can bring our attention to it so that we can process it. When things get processed, there’s a chance for them to be transformed - from something that isn’t sitting right or comfortably perhaps, such as an unwelcome emotion or sensation - to something that we start to recognize doesn’t have that much to do with us at all.
And meditation can be hard at the beginning, we might not know where to start. Through guided meditation, I help you get connected with your body, to what’s most important in the present moment to you, and from there things become a lot easier as they become more clear. And when our choices become clear, choosing gets a lot easier too.
Yoga Nidra is an experience to come back into the place of peace and calm that is at the center of your being. Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep", has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, increase creativity and focus, promote healing and immunity, and improve sleep and digestion.
Mindfulness, like everything else we do, begins with one small step. Notice the breath you’re taking right now, as it goes in. Notice it, as it goes out.
