There is definitely a connection between our emotions and our body, but we don’t always recognize it. I hope this meditation gives you time to explore that connection.
I recommend lying on the floor or your bed, although you could do it seated. I taught this meditation with students in a restorative pose called supported bound angle. You could use a couple of stacked blankets or towels if you don’t have a bolster.
Sit in front of your bolster or blankets. Bring the soles of your feet together. Support your knees with pillows, blocks, or towels, even if you think you don’t need the support. Lie back over the bolster. Tuck your tailbone down toward your heels. Add a pillow under your head. Bring arms out to the side, palms up, if comfortable. If the chest opening feels like too much, add a blanket or towel under the forearms.
Enjoy the quiet. Let yourself be still. Press play for the meditation.
I would love to hear your experience with this meditation. Leave me a comment and let me know how it went.
