Body Meditation15:05
Please join me for this grounding body meditation. Learning to be connected and grounded in our bodies is integral to feeling peaceful and calm in our everyday lives. We often do not get taught how to be grounded and our culture encourages busyness which fosters a sense of being ungrounded. When we have trauma in our lives one of our protective coping strategies can be to live more in the head. This meditation will help you to get back into your body.

Description

Meditation is a highly beneficial daily practice that can help to improve mood and concentration as well as decrease stress, anxiety and depression. In our modern age it is very easy to get overwhelmed with daily life. I am a social worker and Reiki Master who specializes in trauma, mindfulness and meditation. This specialization has come from my own experience of being an anxious, traumatized people pleaser.

Join me for this 10 day meditation challenge to explore your senses. We will explore the idea of the senses through the five aspects of self- body, emotions, social, thoughts and universal connection. We will then expand this idea to include the five elements- earth, air, water, fire and ether and then finally through the five elements, the five aspects of self and the five senses. And then the extra content will include how to connect with the traditional sense of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste.

Learn what meditation is, what meditation is not as well as some of the benefits and drawbacks to this daily practice. Meditation is a hugely beneficial practice that only improves over time. So come join me in learning meditation, self compassion and relaxation! I an excited to share with you my passion for meditation!
