We should be moving our bodies each and every day in a way that makes us feel good. But let’s face it, sometimes movement feels like a chore or comes from a place of not feeling good enough. This week, we are setting the intention to move our bodies as a way to release stagnant energy. If you’ve been carrying heavy feelings lately, this is your chance to let them go.

Gratitude and a Sense of Safety

When you think of the word comfort, what immediately comes to mind? Is it your person? Your pet? Your bedroom?

A Meditation to Return to Yourself

We are dedicating this week to soothing and settling our nervous system. Of course, meditation is a beautiful resource for exactly this. In today’s practice, you will quiet the mind, focus on your breath, and allow your presence to be encapsulated by your physical self. Usually, when we feel really overwhelmed, we immediately lose our connection to our body.
