A Four Session Meditative Experience
There’s no question that we live in uncertain times. With the growing tension in our culture and throughout the world, it’s no wonder we can feel fearful, angry, lost or just plain disconnected. So I've created a deeply relaxing practice that can be used in between your bodywork sessions such as reflexology or massage, etc. or used simply on its own.
Join a growing number of people who are turning inward to meditative practices in order to experience more inner quiet and slowly recognize and understand difficult emotions. With practice these often strong emotional states can soften and we develop the capacity to feel more resourced and engaged. Many options are now available for body centered (somatic) approaches to help balance the body through grounding and calming the nervous system.
I offer a simple and practical way to experience and ground yourself in a deeper and richer way. And you do not need any prior knowledge or practice of meditation in order to enjoy the benefits:
- Accessing your body through feeling rather than thinking
- Increasingly greater awareness of what triggers stress in you and the emotions involved, without discounting these feelings
- Learn about how stress has and is affecting you now. The body stores trauma on all levels.
- Greater energy – less fatigue
- Deeper and more relaxed sleep
- A sense of space and openness in your body and your thoughts so it’s easier to be in uncertainty
- Increased calm and poise More openness and ease in relationships
