Meditation with Stephanie

Hello friends,

This meditation was inspired from a conversation I had with a close friend when she was telling me that her boundaries were overstepped and she felt she needed some help in building a stronger auric field so that she wouldn't feel so vulnerable in the real world. This meditation will help build that strong energetic bubble, so that you can walk around feeling more poised and assured through life. Also - with consistent practice, you will give off a "vibe" of "don't f*ck with me" and as a result help keep your boundaries in check.

Enjoy the meditation!

With love,

Steph

Hi friend! This simple breathwork couples a simple arm movement with the breath. It was inspired by guru Mark Whitwell.

"Try inhaling a strong, smooth ujjayi breath as you raise your arms and look up at your hands, keeping the shoulders relaxed. Exhale an even breath and bring the arms down again. After the first breath, try another. The first two breaths may be difficult, but the third comes sweetly. Inhale and receive God. Pause and be with God. Exhale and surrender to God. Pause after exhaling. You are surrendered. When you consciously participate in your own breath, you are connecting directly to That which is breathing you — and beating your heart and all the rest.

Like sex, breath is a natural function of life that we cannot suppress without damage. The same way that you love to dance, love to love, learn to love to breathe. Breathe to feel your intimacy with your partner and with yourself. Breathe to feel how you love and are loved, heal and are healed. Breathe to embrace the opposites in your body and in your life, and feel the current of all life run through you." - Mark Whitwell

Enjoy this meditation.

With love,

Hi friend! I usually end my yoga classes with a smile meditation, as it allows for my students to really marinate in the essence of joy. It is a wonderful and accessible way to bring a little levity and good vibes into your day.

Even if you aren't feeling so great today, smiling can help "trick" the nervous system into thinking that everything is all good.

I hope you enjoy this meditation!

With love,

Steph

All it takes is a few moments, even 5 minutes of your day to take a moment to yourself. The benefits of meditation are silent. We meditate to improve our life, not to improve our meditation practice.

Thank you for practicing with me.

Love,

Stephanie

This week I introduce a breathing exercise made popular by Dr. Andrew Huberman.

This is a breathwork practice I usually start my yoga practice, as this not only helps my students feel centered and settled at the start of practice, but also by allowing them to open and expand their lungs at the start of class.

Taking two inhales and one long exhale reduces CO2 levels, slows your heart rate, and leaves you feeling calmer, less tense, and more focused. 

Enjoy this short breathwork, as I know it will make your day much better!

With love,

Anxiety lives in our chest, between our brows, and in our jawline. By focusing our attention on these areas in our body, we can allow the breath to sooth those places.

Enjoy the meditation :)

A meditation to help you settle with, and not resist the emotions you're experiencing today. 

Whatever you're experiencing in the moment, will pass. You can count on that :)

Ahh stillness, a rare commodity! This meditation for you if you are looking for a moment of retreat. A moment for yourself to recalibrate those messy moments you endure in life.

I often tell my yin yoga students that this class is an opportunity for you to PRACTICE relaxing. To have the permission to DO LESS. To breathe more. To feel more. To BE more. I hope that this meditation brings you into a state of relaxation, and settles you from any whirlwind of emotion or thought you may be experiencing.
