Guide: Andrea Epting 

Join Andrea as she guides us in today’s meditation. Today, we are focusing on tension. Take a moment to focus on yourself by creating a safe and quiet space where you can host stillness. As you begin to take deep breaths, get grounded. Continue to focus on your body by noticing any sensations. Notice where your tension is held from the top of your head down to your toes and slow relax each muscle and area of your body. Take this time for you and release all your tension.

Join Andrea as she guides us through today’s mindful meditation. Andrea focuses on guiding us through releasing toxic bonds. Take a moment and get comfy. Focus on this moment and get grounding as you take an intentional moment for yourself. Focus on what may be holding you back that could be binding you; allow it to rise to the surface. Hold space for this and slowly let it be released and melt away while acknowledging how it’s an old or toxic belief.
