33 MIN - Turning Toward Movement Practice

PROPS NEEDED: None

Becoming more self-aware, awake, and attentive is a necessary foundation to personal growth but what we do with what we discover about ourselves from there? This practice is an invitation to explore two concepts from Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing called "pendulation" and "titration". Welcoming and opening to our feelings can be overwhelming. This practice offers a safe way to begin to process difficult emotions, sensations, thoughts, stress, and/or trauma that are held inside the body. Experience the power of expanding and contracting as a way to build tolerance and capacity to feel fully without the tendency to turn away from yourself.

PROPS NEEDED: Optional blanket.

This is a movement practice that is meant for you to explore meeting your edges while staying connected, curious, and compassionate. Understanding is about recognizing that we all are uniquely the way we are because of our life experiences and our history, which differs from individual to individual. Getting into contact with our conditioned parts and protective reactions helps us to learn about and from them. We aim to move from protection to connection, from a contracted place, to an expansive and open one.

13 MIN - Embodied Wholeness Meditation

This practice guides you to inhabit your body with your whole being. Wholeness is innate, we just have to make the return back to it. Making the return back into the body and trusting that the body is safe to inhabit takes time, practice, determination, will, courage, and effort. Eventually, all of the facets of our humanness will move through us more fluidly and this can become our natural state.

31 MIN - Embodiment Movement Practice

A practice to help you connect to and with your body. This is an invitation to contact your living organism and to take up the space that your whole being deserves to occupy. The body has so much to teach us and with our current culture's influences, disembodiment is more and more likely. We have less reasons to put our bodies to good and necessary use. Your body is significant and magnificent. Inhabit your body with your being and dissolve the false division between mind and body with this practice. Lead with your body and the rest will follow.

15 MIN - Building Wholehearted Connection with Others Meditation

Interested in deepening your relationships?

We are relational beings, wired for connection and love yet, we can go through the majority of our lives feeling a lack of deep connection and intimacy. Although it is clear that our desire for connection is innate, navigating relationships can be very challenging. Just like everything else in life, we can learn and practice how to be with others wholeheartedly. Social bonding is an energetic, authentic, and compassionate exchange between beings. The exchange is equal parts offering and receiving. We can learn to pulse our awareness to and from what is happening within us and what is happening within the other -while giving and receiving feedback.
