Ground the body, ground your thoughts
Added 2022-08-23 20:17:11 +0000 UTCNavigate restless thoughts and emotions with this feel-good grounding practice that opens the entire body. Begin with some heart-activating meditations to release tension, and then stretch spine, wrists, and feet. You’ll continue with a melting heart pose to expand the breath, and then enjoy the rest of the practice on your back with supported butterfly, hamstring stretches with a strap, and half moon. Reflections and mantras on the theme of “Suffering” from Living Your Yoga are weaved throughout.
Props: 2 blocks and a strap
Benefits: releasing anger and impatience, lungs, ribs, heart, joints, hamstrings, hips, grounding
Living Your Yoga embodiment practice: The next time that you are upset, notice your physiological responses, such as increased tension in your muscles, changes in your breath, and tightness in your belly. How much time during the day do you spend in this state? Choose to let go of suffering in this very moment.
Mantra for Daily Living: I can release all suffering and live life right now.
