Embodied Astrology

This meditation is for times when intention isn't fully clear, or when there's a lot of sensory, emotional, or mental overload, and making decisions feels complex.

The technique I offer is very simple, and easy to use. I find it helpful particularly when I have anxiety or agitation, and feel the need to "do something" but am uncertain as to what to do, or how to position myself for the best outcome.

This meditation is offered for the full moon in VIrgo, March 1st, 2018. To learn more about that astrology, listen to my podcast here:

In this meditation I guide you into physical awareness of fascia. Fascia is a connective tissue, continuous throughout the body, that holds tension patterns, and is strongly associated to the nervous system.

Working with fascia provides a metaphor for working with the mind. In the meditation I present ways to mobilize and release stuck patterns.

Life is constantly changing and there is nothing any of us can do to control how it changes. Though we all know this conceptually, most of us forget it most of the time. Many of us suffer deeply in our feelings of incompetence and lack of control when faced with change and endings. This meditation is a simple reorientation with our bodies and breath to the constant state of change that surrounds us. Practicing this re-connection we are more likely to open ourselves to possibility, trust, and flow.

My meditations are inspired by astrology. Listen to my podcast for the full moon and lunar eclipse on January 31st, 2018:

Tolerance is hard. It requires being uncomfortable and making space for people and experiences that push us to the edge of familiarity and comfort. Even those of us who preach tolerance still have to practice it! This is a guided meditation on working with habits of intolerance and cultivating clear personal awareness and tools for remaining with challenging interpersonal dynamics and working with differences skillfully.

In this guided meditation and somatic movement exploration I introduce a very simple and practical method for integration and realignment. As we move through the basic spinal and neural patterns of human development we are strengthened in our "central axis" or what you might think of as the energetic core of your body.

This practice can be taken through movement forms such as dance or yoga, you can lie on the floor and roll around, or simply sit or lie still and feel the movement of your awareness throughout your body. After we explore each pattern you'll pause and notice the cognitive and perceptive shifts. I've found that in this practice I can easily work through complexity and resistance of all kinds.

This meditation is made in honor of the Gemini Full Moon on December 3, 2017. This is a pretty wild full moon that coincides with Mercury turning retrograde and stimulating the points of August's full solar eclipse. Listen here to learn more about the astrology:

This guided meditation leads you towards a gentle process of releasing bonds and cutting cords with destructive energy. Emotional bonds and cords occur when violation, manipulation or trauma has happened. These energetic locks keep us attached to negative thought patterns, depression, anxiety and unskillful actions and choices. In this meditation I guide you through a simple process or holistic inclusion to build the internal support required to create lasting release.

In this guided meditation we'll work to include and integrate what are often felt as separate parts of ourselves: physicality/instinct, mind/cognition, and heart/emotion. As we practice integration we'll extend healing back to our influences of dis-integration to promote resolution and forgiveness, and we'll extend healing forward into our future choices and circumstances.

This is a guided meditation for working with trauma responses and triggers that come up in relationships, or as I like to joke "having a bad case of the relationshits." This meditation is for the moments when your lovers, partners, friends, family, parents, bosses, employees... or whoever happens to be a "trigger" says the wrong thing in the wrong way or does something that sends you into a space of reactivity. This is a meditation for self-soothing and calming down so you can work responsibly and maturely in the situation. The people who are the most important are often the best at activating our inner children, and so this meditation is for the times when you'd be better off taking yourself for a time out than staying in the conflict.

All my somatic meditations are made as responses to the new and full moons. You can learn more about the astrology that inspired this meditation here:

This is a guided somatic (body-based) meditation to assist you in relaxing your brain! Our brains are often overwhelmed by information and stimulation, anxiety, worry and stress. Somatic meditation offers incredibly simple and profoundly effective tools to get back into your body, breath and heart. This practice will increase a sense of wellbeing and create space in your mind to observe your thoughts rather than be ruled by them.

This meditation was inspired by the Aries full moon. Aries rules the brain, upper skull and ego. Learn more about it here:
