Learn The Foundations Of Somatic Movement Meditation

With Mary Ellen Hannon

Learn to make a distinction between yield and collapse. Yielding is characterized by a relaxed alertness that allows us to fully and consciously receive support. Disrupt excessive tension in the muscles that resist the yielded state and tendencies to move into a habitual sleepiness, depressed, or collapsed state. Many of us arrive in adulthood needing to repair our relationship to yielding. When we practice relaxed alertness, it is common for emotions to arise as we let down barriers and reclaim a basic sense of trust and safety.
