Ep 502 - Being in a Meditation Frame of Mind + Figure 8 Breath

Episode 502 of Everyday Meditation: Being in a Meditation Frame of Mind + Figure 8 Breath As always, I encourage you to make yourself at home in this practice: substitute, modify, do as you need to feel safe and present, including taking breaks! Here's what's in this episode: - Welcome + getting situated, with a few thoughts on how you can work through entering your meditation practice from a "not ready" to sit and be still kinda place. - A little lead-in movement: Seated twist - Breathing practice: 1:1 inhale:exhale breathing - Meditation technique (awareness kriya): Figure 8 Breath, aka Arohan Awarohan - A little re-grounding movement: Reclining rest, aka Savasana * all techniques and movements are described and guided * Integration suggestion After listening to the episode, perhaps check in: did you notice something that you want to carry with you? If yes, maybe jot it down in a notebook or record a voice memo to help you remember! You can give this practice a try when you're ready! Be moving, be true, be you! - esther These show notes are also posted at https://esthermpalmer.com/meditation If you'd like to hear more from me, consider signing up for my newsletter at https://esthermpalmer.com/updates You can also support the podcast with a donation if you're so moved at https://moved-podcasts.square.site
