Rise and Revitalize

Given the uncertainty of the times we’re living in, I want to offer a mindfulness tool that can help anchor you during times of chaos or upheaval. This session presents a mindfulness practice designed for exactly those moments when you feel powerless or overwhelmed by circumstances beyond your control. Then we spend several minutes with grounding movements and finish with words from Rainer Maria Rilke.

Here we utilize the breath to help strengthen our ability to focus then spend several minutes doing movement to help free the breath by freeing up the ribs and spine and end with a challenge.

In this episode we practice becoming aware of self-criticism and self-judgement and observe them for what they are as well as what lies beneath them. Then we let them diminish as we recognize a broader view and our value within it.

Here we begin by recognizing the work of our thinking mind and give it the opportunity to take a well earned break. Then we wake up our bodies through movement and finish by remembering that we are more than just our thinking mind.

In this episode I'll reintroduce you to an ally that is with you all the time. I'll share briefly about what mindfulness is and what the benefits are. Then we spend 7 minutes going through a mindfulness exercise and 20 minutes of movement with that mindfulness as our anchor.

Just a couple short minutes to share with you who I am. And who I am not. :)

Here is a brief explanation of why I felt the need to create this podcast and what has kept me after it even though it has been a truly daunting task and one I have had no previous experience in.

These Intro pieces are served up a la carte so you can decide what interests you and skip the rest. This is part one, the what. Find out what it is that we do here at the Rise and Revitalize podcast.
