During the winter holiday season, I like to reflect on reasons I am thankful. Many people use a gratitude practice or gratitude journal to help focus on the good in our lives. The feelings associated with gratitude bathe us in an infusion of well being, recharging our parasympathetic nervous systems, and our overall happiness.

In today's meditation we practice gratitude, infused.

Many of you know that I have nearly completed a year-long Yoga Teacher Training, and I am developing a technique that I call Core Breathing. Based on decades of experience, Core Breathing is a key aspect of my Yoga teaching style. It is a simple set of muscle actions that prioritize our powerful deep core muscles, support effortless movement, and free up space for our lungs.

Today we will demonstrate and explore the simple technique of Core Breathing in meditation.

In grief, we mourn the loss of a physical presence. At times the intensity of our sadness can mask a more subtle presence.

In today's meditation, we cultivate our connection to the unseen world and the Life Force that lives there. Through this connection, we can access a more complete understanding of our grief, and the subtle presence that lives beyond our physical senses.

When we experience stress, our bodies tighten, which can restrict our lungs, air flow, and the subtle Life Force energies flowing through us (chi, prana, reiki, etc).

In today's meditation, we align our physical and energetic bodies with our breathing.

The Twenty is a meditation I developed using techniques from yoga, yoga nidra, and qigong practices. We inhale deeply, release our exhale, and count each breath to twenty. This simple practice helps to regulate the nervous system and gently observe our racing minds.

In today's meditation, we count our breaths to twenty.

Debilitating aspects of stress build over time. One way to reset our baseline stress levels is via self care toward the nervous system, specicifically the Vagus nerve.

In today's meditation we use breathing, movement, and reiki to 'reboot' the nervous system.
