Yarn's with Grace: A Tiger and the Monk podcast episodes

  • Body - Scan Meditation

    Find a quiet place you can sit without being disturbed
    Set a timer for the duration for 6 - 30 minutes.
    Start with three belly breaths, feeling the sensations of the breath in the whole body.
    Guide attention down into your feet. Take sometime to feel your toes and the soles of your feet then allow awareness to slowly move up you legs into your hips and all the way up through your body into your head.
    From you head allow awareness to cascade back down the body to your feet.
    Continue this process for the duration of the meditation.
    When you’ve finished take a moment to reflect and write in your journal about what you noticed.

  • SMP Mindfulness Foundations

    This guided practice is designed to serve and support you as much as is helpful however it is my hope and gentle encouragement that you work toward guiding yourself through this same practice.

  • Pre Workout Meditation 2 -Harmonise Body, Mind and Breath so that you can execute with excellence.

    The idea behind this practice is to take a short moment to tune into your body, breath & intention to prepare you for an awesome workout.

    We can often carry different parts of our life into the gym with us and that can rob us of some of the focus and energy that we could otherwise be putting into the workout.
    By creating moments of transition you can start to align attention, intention an actions which can empower you to lift (and live) more potently.

    I would encourage you to use the recording for as long as feels helpful but once you have the gist of it I would strongly suggest practicing on your own.

    The steps are simple

    From a standing position tune into your breath (if it feels safe close your eyes)
    As you feel yourself breathing tune into your body from the ground up.
    As you feel your body breathing and scan your body from the ground up imagine the sort of energy you'd like to bring to the gym with you, the sort of energy that will fuel you workout.
    If you have a Vision of yourself, a goal that this workout is in service of you might let that enter you mind.
    Once you feel your whole body breathing that energy
    Set some clear intentions for what's in front of you.
    Open your eyes, feel your body, step into your workout fully focused.
    Step into you Greatness.

  • Yoga Nidra / Deep Rest

    A great practice for facilitating deep rest.

    This is a short version of the practice, toward the end of the recording I offer some options to continue the practice on its own.
    Best done lying down
    Enjoy

  • REFLECTION

    Reflection


    An opportunity to think deeply about the year that was
    So that we might be inspired and empowered by those lessons to make next year even better.

  • Open Awareness (with Breath as an anchor)

    In this practice attention expands from the breath into open awareness.

    The breath is used as anchor and home base from which you are invited to open fully to your experience.
    It is much like the tuning in practice we touched on in weeks 3 - 4 but we stay in open awareness for longer periods of time.
    This practice can initially feel a little "spacy" and a bit hard to grasp but eventually can be a deeply restful and insightful practice. 

    12 min
  • Breath, Body, Sound

    In this practice attention expands into awareness to include breath, body and sound.

    This is an enlightening practice in it's own right and a gateway to open awareness.
    This practice can be combined with great music or sound healing to help deepen one's appreciation and communion with sound.
