Some General Tips:
Helpful Tips:
find a space in your home that feels sacred or relaxing
sit in a way that allows your to feel “lifted,” either on a cushion or chair- think “strong back, open heart.” Ideally, the knees are grounded and below the sacrum.
light a candle to signify the practice has begun
create an altar with flowers, symbols, or pictures of a teacher that inspires you
Meditation is:
a PRACTICE- I cannot stress this enough. Meditation is simply an act of sitting, over and over again. It is something you commit to- on “good” days and “bad” days. Sit, observe, stay open and curious.
training the mind to be one-pointed
awakening fully to life
being compassionately open to all that is- the good and bad, pleasure and pain, etc.
becoming more flexible and tolerant to the present moment
In this episode we celebrate the shift in light and season, and honor the Fall Equinox. We start with a balancing alternate nostril breath practice and then contemplate what we are harvesting in our lives right now.
