Hi,
I'm Kimberly and today's short and sweet practice for stress and anxiety is an audio meditation.
It is a yoga nidra or a guided relaxation.
So take the next several minutes to get absolutely comfy.
You might recline on your yoga mat or recline in a nice comfy chair.
I always recommend the head just a little bit above the heart on a blanket or a pillow.
And if you're lying flat,
Maybe there's support or a pillow behind your knees.
If you have something to cover your eyes,
An eye pillow,
Or maybe you dim the lights,
That soft sensation on the optical nerve might feel really,
Really yummy.
If you have blankets to cover your body or maybe a weighted blanket,
I love weighted blankets.
And take this time to get all your things and be really comfy and cozy.
And how can you be 15% more comfortable?
And how can you be 15% more comfortable?
We're going to rotate our conscious minds through our bodies.
So keep listening to the sound of my voice as I guide you.
And if you fall asleep or if your mind wanders,
That's fine.
Sometimes we're tired and we need to rest.
But if you do notice that,
Bring it back,
Allowing my words to become your words.
We begin on the right side of the body.
