Spring Awakening

Spring Awakening

2024-03-0105:20

Settle in for a five minute reset as you welcome in all of the possibilities of a new season. Awakening to new life, new potential, new possibilities. What do you wish to cultivate as you transition to this new season? How are you nourishing these desires? Consider moving to your journal after this meditation and write down or speak aloud what comes up.
Derived from Lisa Sanfilippo, transpersonal psychotherapist and sleep specialist, this meditation practice can help get to the root cause of emotion. When we learn to sit with and move through emotion, rather than resisting or ignoring it, we gain greater control of emotional regulation and in turn, release emotional baggage that may be keeping us from quality sleep. This practice is strengthened over time. Perhaps try this body awareness practice when you feel alert and in a calm state of focus. I encourage you to be consistent with the practice and notice how it evolves over time.ย  If you would like to take a deeper dive into yoga therapy for insomnia and sleep recovery, contact Ivy Donovan, MA, C-IAYT, RYT Yoga Therapist and Behavior Consultant for more information. www.SoulFireHolistics.org
Sleep

Sleep

2023-03-1409:18

I invite you turn off all other electronics, turn your lights down as much as you can, turn the heat down or cool air up, and climb into bed. This meditation can be a good resource for falling asleep at the beginning of night or helping you get back to sleep if you wake in the middle of the night. If you are interested in diving deeper into slumber, yoga therapy can show you how to approach sleep on a physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. I can teach you how to release tension through Yogic and Ayurvedic approaches that draw on neuroscience and target your unique set of needs. Learn more at www.soulfireholistics.org

Shower Ritual

Shower Ritual

2023-01-1607:55

I invite you to use this visualization the next time you take a shower. Perhaps, use it as a daily ritual to establish your mindset for the day ahead.ย  Either listen along as you climb into the shower, or listen now and guide yourself through this visualization the next time you climb into the shower.ย  If you are showering at the onset of your day, this can be a powerful tool to set your intention for the day.ย  If you are showering before bed, this can be a powerful tool to wash away the stress from the day.ย 
Metta Meditation is a Buddhist practice that can help us move into a state of self love and compassion, for both ourselves and others. Remembering that we can not pour from an empty cup, this practice helps us invite in loving compassion for ourselves so that we can have genuine love and compassion toward others with whom we are in relation. At 17 minutes, this is a lengthier practice, so before you begin, please find a space free from distraction, where you can allow yourself to be fully present. If you do not make it all the way through, it's okay. Perhaps you revisit this one over and over again.ย  Adapted from "Yoga for Grief and Loss" Karla Helbert
