Embodying Gratitude: A 5 Minute Guided Meditation / All Levels

People are not grateful because they’re happy, they’re happy because they are grateful.
-Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk, teacher, and author

Research shows that gratitude practices:
•  Divert attention from stress and anxiety
•  Strengthen social ties and increase pro-social motivation, helping us connect with others
    and feel less isolated and lonely
• Create more activity in the hypothalamus and activate brain regions associated with dopamine
• Help build a more approach oriented brain which leads to greater resiliency in coping with stress

Body Sensing: A 6 minute guided meditation / All LEVELS

In this practice I will guide you through each space in the body and invite you to pay attention to the senses you experience.  Interoception: noticing present moment sensations, builds self-agency. Research shows that “body-based work, such as yoga, may act as a treatment bridge, increasing a sense of awareness, safety and mastery over one's body while building skills to effectively interpret and tolerate physiological and affective states”.

This meditation is a simple way to both relax and increase your own body-centered awareness. You can do this in any posture that feels comfortable.
