Claim Your Body!

Do you ever feel awkward or disconnected in your own body or experience a sense of being ungrounded from time to time?  Maybe you find yourself ignoring chronic discomfort in your neck and shoulders or tension that builds up into constant headaches?

Try this simple exercise: Just for a few moments put your mind on pause..while sitting comfortably with a soft but straight back and feet flat on the floor, close your eyes. Bring your awareness to your body by taking slow deep breaths through your nose. Start scanning your body for sensations of discomfort. Examine how your feet feel. Are your shoes comfortable, do you feel supported? As you move your way up through your ankles take inventory of the joints in your legs: do your knees feel tight or are they loose? Continue to bring attention to every area of your body while breathing gently, until you have scanned your entire body. This simple exercise that takes 5 minutes will heighten your body awareness.

It is impossible to be present to our bodies when we are constantly living in our minds as it challenging to be focused when we are physically ill or in discomfort. We invite you to experience how deep guided breath can aide you in healing body aches, releasing tension and grounding you. Join us this Friday for Claim Your Body breath meditation workshop with aromatherapy.
