Welcome to part two of episode 1 of the Sangini Bhet podcast, Suna Sangini!
This episode focuses on the topic of self-care as an essential part of being able to show up for our community. As we heard from the last episode, COVID-19 crisis is pushing our limits and forcing us to re-examine our ways of being, connecting, and disconnecting with ourselves as well as with each other. We recognize the need to explore different methods of self and community care during this time.
We invited Manaswi, one of the Sangini members to share her practices of self-care, followed by a 10 minute guided meditation. We saw how powerful the use of our hands and breathwork can be in reconnecting with ourselves, tune into our body and release the mixture of feelings that may drive us to isolate or go on overdrive (leading to burnout). Here we'll discuss one of the ways we've practiced self-care including an audio recording of the guided meditation.
