THIS IS A MINDFULNESS PRACTICE TO SUPPORT YOU IN STAYING PRESENT IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY WHILE YOU MOVE GENTLY.

 

PLAY ON THE EDGE OF YOUR FEAR. 

 

 FIND A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN STAY

UNINTERRUPTED. USe A TIMER. 

 SET YOURSELF A BLOCK OF TIME 

(recommended 20mins)

 

sink   into   this   short   Practice:

 select  a comfortable posture.

 *********

find  A  SEATED  POSITION neutral/BALANCED in both hips.

*********

discover a position lying on your back on the ground.

*********

 set yourself on your hands and knees in a table top posture. 

*********

CHOOSE TO  create a POSTURAL variation

 

 

 USING A TIMER, SET  5-15 MINUTES FOR YOUR PRACTICE.

 

 

BEGIN IN A POSTURE where you feel completely at ease

 Invoke  the  BREEMA  principle  BODY  COMFORTABLE

make sure that you are paying CLOSE attention.

NOTICE YOUR BODY BREATHING, NOTICE YOUR BODY HAS WEIGHT.

 REGISTER TO YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE,

REGISTER THAT YOU ARE NOT AFRAID.

 FROM YOUR BEGINNING POSTURE ALLOW YOURSELF TO GENTLY MOVE IN A CIRCULAR, SPIRAL LINES  EDGING YOURSELF IN YOUR MOVEMENT NEARER TO AN edge WHERE FEAR COMES IN,

 

PAUSE THERE,

 

DEEPEN YOUR BREATHING AND WAIT

 

ALLOW RELAXATION TO enter INTO YOUR POSTURE,
INTO YOUR MIND AND BODY

 

ALLOW SPACE FOR THis to occur,

 TO YOURSELF FEEL THE TRUTH IN THE STATEMENTS;

 MY  BODy HAS WEIGHT  ~   MY BODY BREATHES.

 

FROM HERE YOU CAN DEEPEN YOUR MOVEMENT, 

CREATE FOR YOURSELF the space to LEAN INTO THE EDGES of a stretch, MOVE FORWARD INCLUSIVELY, IN THE  EXPERIENCE OF noticing each part of your BODY with full AWARENESS.

 

THIS IS WHERE RELAXATION ENTERS OUR CELLULAR CONSCIOUSNESS

where THE BODY IS ABLE TO FULLY SUSTAIN & INTEGRATE CHANGE.
