Open Your Heart

I invite you to take a few easy breaths and see if you can notice your ribs expanding in all directions..... See if you can notice your heartbeat....many ways to try this: connecting with arteries in your neck, touching a wrist, and you may have other methods for becoming aware of your own heartbeat...sometimes if I am quiet enough, I can sense my heartbeat around my eyes. Allowing the breath to be present, start a few easy circles with your upper body. No right or wrong way to approach this ide...

Breathing Your Body

Take a few easy breaths and notice how you’re connected to the Earth. I invite you to send some gratitude to yourself for taking this time to center and recharge, as well as offer an invitation to send gratitude to our vast communities and to the Earth itself. This practice begins small and then radiates out in parallel to this initial idea of gratitude for self, others and the natural world. There is no right or wrong way to engage with these suggestions. Follow your intuition and modify in way...

Moving Through Fear

Take a few moments to notice your breath.... To notice the way the Earth is supporting you... To notice the way your clothes happen to be connected to your skin..... To notice your spine and allow each vertebrae to float ever so slightly in different directions.... Bring an extra millimeter of relaxation to your upper body, mid body, lower body and down through the Earth below you.... Upper body, mid body, lower body and down through the Earth..... See if you can become so gently aware that you ...

This Spells Relief

This Spells Relief Take a few easy breaths and begin to notice it's easy, natural rhythm. When you're ready, softly send your head around for a few gentle circles one way and then the other just noticing the sensations - being mindful for any moments around that circle that might feel like they need some extra time, some extra stretch. Feel free to stop and start as you journey along the circle inviting 'comfortable zone' stretches which utilize our breath to facilitate even a few millimeters of...

Moving Together

I invite you to become aware of the easy rise and fall of your breath as you breathe naturally and without necessarily changing the rhythm in any way. Notice if you find this practice calming and grounding, and if so, I invite you to catalogue this sensation and begin to view this practice of witnessing your own breath as a tool that you can utilize in any situation - not just during time set aside for mindfulness practices. Locating our own miraculous breath and following it with conscious atte...

Restore and Recharge

I invite you to find a comfortable position - this could be laying down, sitting, standing, moving gently or allowing yourself to be still.... Take a moment to listen to and follow a few intentional, exquisite breaths.... Then I invite you to apply some gentle pressure to your heart and experiment with this breathing rhythm - inhale for 4 counts, hold/suspend for 7, breathe out for 8 counts - this structure is provided as a way to perhaps create an opportunity to cultivate a sense of calm, resto...

Let It Go

Let It Go As you prepare for your next evening cheering session out into the night air for our brave medical community and essential workers during this vital time, I invite you to take 10 short breaths through your nose in a way that feels comfortable to you. Feel the energy and life force build within you as you breathe in rhythm. At the end of the series, go ahead and open that window or move out onto your balcony and release all that energy by shouting 'THANK YOU!' to our brave friends who a...

Seize the Moment

Feel free to close your eyes and notice the sensation of how you are connected to the floor, chair - the earth. I invite you to soften the muscles around your eyes - and soften your jaw as you take a few easy breaths. Now also bring awareness to a softening of your hearing by allowing sounds to float over you without necessarily naming them. There may be noises coming from the street outside, sounds from your neighbors next-door, even your own breath. Enter into a practice of softening a desire ...

Inner Light

Inner Light I invite you to find a comfortable place to sit or lie on your back. Feel free to close your eyes, soften your gaze or allow yourself to use your vision to be aware of your surroundings as you inhale and exhale fully for a few breaths. On your next inhalation, imagine breathing in air filled with light of a certain color and/or temperature. It could be your favorite color for today, which may be different than yesterday or tomorrow. Consider a temperature that may be calming or a com...

Let Go, Hold Tight

I invite you to begin by sitting or standing and taking a gentle inhale and exhale. Feel free to offer some gentle pressure over your heart. On your next exhale, send energy out into the space around you in any way that feels good. This could be pushing your hands away from your heart out in front of you. It could be traveling forward with your lower body and sending energy out in front of you and behind you at the same time with your upper body. It could be staying in the exact same position an...

Model Your Actions

Model Your Actions Take a moment to think of someone who has been a positive role model at some point in your experiences. Then take a moment to think of someone who may consider you to be a role model. Hold the images of these special people in your mind as you repeat these statements: I have seen strength in others I have felt strength in myself I can show strength for others We we find ourselves faced with difficult situations or decisions, remember these thoughts and know that we do have the...
