Embodied Meditation

Too much time on a screen or device leaves us feeling stiff, gripped, bleary-eyed, and disembodied. Today's free Embodied Meditation is a 7-minute reset to help you unwind all of that. We'll un-hunch your shoulders, breathe life back into your hands and wrists, tend to your aching neck, and give you some fresh perspective. Back away from your screen, and let's get started.

It's so nourishing to align with the seasonal rhythms around us. It allows us to tap into our more instinctual rhythms and reminds us, on a deep level, that we are not separate from the energies and cycles of the natural world. This annual practice invites you to luxuriate in and celebrate the warmth and expansiveness of the Summer Solstice.

In our modern information-age, so much of our attention is localized in our head and face, where the pre-frontal cortex of our brain, along with our eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, are all processing data, decoding patterns, and working hard to help us make sense of the avalanche of information we're bombarded with every minute. Today's Embodied Meditation helps release contraction and tension in your head and face and then invites you to drop more fully into the rest of your body, balancing your energy and leaving you feeling more integrated and whole.

Something the yoga tradition has been teaching for thousands of years and that Western science has begun to stress more and more is that when you breathe well, you have a much better likelihood of being well. Relaxed, easy breathing can have a positive impact on everything from your digestion and sleep to your mood and your energy level. Pair that breathing with gentle, fluid movement, and your entire system can be both soothed and uplifted. That's what we'll explore in this Embodied Meditation practice.

The Spring Equinox—a time when day and night are in perfect balance— coaxes us to align with the natural world and invite balancing energy into our bodies and our lives. Today's Embodied Meditation explores and nurtures those parts of you that may feel ready to unfurl and stretch, ever-so-gently, toward the light. And it honors and tends to what's still resting and taking shape beneath the surface.
