ALTAR: The Podcast with Heather Briann

Beginning today’s morning meditation, Heather invites movement to release tension and soften the body. Transitioning into a space of rest, she encourages listeners to allow their mind to explore their to-do list in a meditative state, to say yes to all that they may need through breath, and to find a release of tension through vocal sighs.

The podcast will be on a temporary hold as Heather takes some time to rest and rejuvenate this summer in preparation for the transition to van life. We look forward to returning in the near future as she continues her journey on the road. You can find us and continue your meditative practice in our virtual studio space, ALTAR DIGITAL.

It is Week 3 of ‘Meditate in May’ and Heather is back to lead a short guided morning practice. She invites listeners to begin the practice with a physical undulation - to roll the shoulders, shake out the body, and lean into the body’s desire of movement or stillness. Returning to the use of mantras as a tool for daily meditative practice, Heather encourages listeners to come back to this practice throughout the third week of our “meditate in may” experience.

Kicking off Altar’s “Meditate in May” series, Heather leads a solo episode this week sharing her experience with a morning practice routine. Inspired to explore this topic in response to numerous questions from students, Heather encourages listeners to view their practice time as an experiment, tapping into the curiosity of that lifestyle: What is possible for me to learn about myself in this time? What is coming up for me? What does this experiment enhance in my life? She shares that this mindset shift will unlock a new relationship with setting and sticking to routines.
