New meditation today over on @TheMindfulMovement
âYour inner strength is something which never leaves you. You are powerful beyond your wildest imagination.â
â Hiral Nagda
Just like an acorn has all it needs inside to become a strong oak tree, you too have everything inside of you to live fully into your amazing, empowered, authentic self, and do this embodying peace and safety. Todayâs practice is all about tapping into this inner resource to recognize the signs of safety and nourish your nervous system.
You might think of this as training for your nervous system to expand your capacity to hold challenges or stress. This is the first in the series of practices for your nervous system. This is the place to start, and you can come back to this practice as often as you like to expand into a peaceful and content state. You may begin to notice yourself becoming overwhelmed or stressed less frequently.
In this practice, I will offer a variety of options to bring your mind into the present moment, sense safety within your body, and invite your awareness to rest on your physical experience. These are all options to explore and build a toolkit for you to choose from any time you need to make a shift in your state.

What's on your agenda for this Saturday? Looking to get some inspiration to improve your health today? Check out @TheMindfulMovement Interview: Improve your Sleep and Improve your Life with Devon Burke
In this episode Les chats with Sleep Science Academy founder Devin Burke. Everyone knows sleep is important, but the whyâs, whatâs, and howâs may not be that clearly understood by most folks. Devin breaks down some of the key factors to address, one of which surprisingly, is our mindset around our sleep, and the internal language we use when thinking about how we sleep. Enjoy the episode!

After your movement practice is a great time to add in some meditation. You have prepared your body so that it is able to sit in stillness and you can connect with your experience more fully. This practice is great for this new year!
In this 25 minute guided morning meditation, you will be guided on a journey of your own design. Using some tools of self-inquiry, and visualization, today you will be able to clear an opening in this new year or new chapter of your life for you to move into. A shift is on the horizon, and with a little guidance, you can steer the course of how your lifeâs journey unfolds.

Daily healthy habits are tricky to sustain. Thereâs usually NO instant gratification (like when you buy a sweet treat or new outfit/car/gadget.) Youâve got to remind yourself to engage with new behavior each week while you learn to enjoy new and different results, which means adopting a host of OTHER behaviors, like:
â˘Rewiring your schedule,
â˘Setting boundaries around your time and mental space, and
â˘Getting used to putting yourself first for a short time each day.
Plus, âlifeâ usually rushes in with a challenge or two to test your healthy habit resolve--like getting sick, starting new work projects, or family and home commitments that wonât wait.
How do you *ever* succeed in keeping a healthy habit long enough to experience the benefits everyone raves about?
Consider getting a little help and support, while reminding yourself you donât have to do it alone.
Thatâs why Les and I created the (FREE) 21 Day Movement and Meditation Commitment. Though we couldnât imagine our lives without meditation and movement today, itâs still a challenge sometimes to prioritize our practice--even after so many years of enjoying it!
