I call this practice Embodied Awareness. It's a meditation in motion, meant to help you feel more in touch with your body. Take this time to investigate where your body is at, what you feel beneath the surface, where you can invite more space, softening, and fluidity in.

Start by stopping. The pace is slow like a Sunday morning should be. We use time wisely off the top, spending it to center, breath, and to release the abdominal tissues and to notice how all of this helps to shift the nervous system leaving us more relaxed and present.

Intuitive movement. This one is less specific and more free flowing. This practice is meant to reconnect you to your body and to remind you how important embodiment is. Inhabit your body and experience the natural rhythm of life coursing through your body and around your being. We play with the felt sense of rooting and rising, expanding and contacting, grounding and expressing. Leave feeling in touch with yourself and anything that has been calling for your attention and loving presence.
