Welcome to your home practice, a sanctuary where tranquillity and balance await. This video is your guide to a breathwork meditation practice designed to soothe your nervous system, bringing a sense of calm and equanimity. Unlike traditional meditation methods that may sometimes induce anxiety in the quest for stillness, our hand dance meditation offers a unique approach to achieving mental and bodily harmony.
In this session, we explore how to incorporate movement into stillness, allowing for a more accessible and engaging meditation experience. This practice is not just about achieving complete stillness but finding balance and centering your mind and body. The beauty of this meditation lies in its simplicity and the profound connection it fosters between your mind, body, and breath.
As you follow along, you'll discover the art of sitting comfortably, whether on a cushion or a chair, and learn how to draw your awareness to the top part of your spine, creating length and space. With palms facing upwards and a conscious connection to the earth beneath you, this practice gently guides you towards grounding and upliftment simultaneously.
The key to this meditation is the harmonious cycle of breath. Inhaling and exhaling to a count of four, you'll find a soothing rhythm that balances your inhalation and exhalation, creating a nurturing space for your mind and body. This breathwork is complemented by a hand dance meditation, a unique way to engage your thinking mind with gentle movements, synchronising your breath with the opening and closing of your palms.
This practice is more than just a meditation; it's an invitation to release the layers of your life momentarily, to disconnect from the outside world and delve into a deep, personal connection with yourself. It's about finding a supportive space where you can soften, let go, and immerse in the present moment.
Join us in this transformative journey towards mind-body connection, balance, and tranquillity. Whether you're seeking to calm your mind, soothe your nerves, or simply find a moment of peace in your day, this practice is an enriching experience that caters to all levels.
