It is said that the longest journey one can make is from the head to the heart.
FISH POSE (Matsyasana) is a great ally on this journey.
It helps to quiet and calm the mind and activates the heart chakra.
If you find that you are often stuck in problem solving mode, that you overthink decisions, micromanage others, just basically live in your head most of the time, do this pose often. It will help you drop into your heart space.
Some tips:
-start with your feet on the ground knees bent and sit on your hands, palms down, forearms down. Then extend your legs on the floor.
-use a block (or two) under your head if your head can’t touch the floor.
-use a block under you shoulder blades for support if it’s too intense
-only raise your legs if your lower back is OK
-if all is going well, try raising the arms. Play with different mudras!

Experiencing Stillness doesn’t require the world to stop for you, but rather for you to pause within it.
To see the sun set,
To hear the bird sing,
To feel the wind touch your skin.
Your senses are not the enemy, but a doorway in.
Just drop the story around it.
A 2:34 minute PATIENCE meditation🙂
Let’s pause. Short breath practice 10 min
5 minute gratitude meditation
Short AUDIO gratitude meditation. 8 minutes.
Do this whenever you feel hooked by panic or fear.
It will help to redirect your nervous system and shift the mind. Know that I’m right there with you feeling all the feels. Let’s practice. Now is the time to dedicate ourselves to our own self-regulation!
I’ll be offering more short practices throughout the week, please stay tuned.
I hope you enjoy and that it helps🙏🏽❤️
One minute to stop drop connect:
Just look at the moon. And howl. 🌑🐺
At the grocery store, Sky, my 7 year old, asks for my phone so she can record “how people are crazy and how i calm them down”. Lol!
