BODY LAND: Guided Meditations to Relax, Recharge, and Self-Regulate

Tracing the body, we engage in a meditative awareness practice with deep breathing for a good night's sleep.

This guided meditation helps you find your center, calm your breathing, and feel safe, as you reconnect to the natural world and your own body. Using ideas and images from Eastern medicine and the powerful magic realism tools of your mind, together we find alignment, dignity, belonging, gratitude, and rest. Listen when still and quiet, alone or in a group, and follow along in your body.

When we are overwhelmed, distraught, deeply sad, and scared, it can be very hard to stay in our bodies and think clearly. This 15 minute guided meditation helps you ground, center, and re-orient so that you recognize yourself and your surroundings. Listen when still and quiet and follow along in your body. Take care. You are loved.

Join us in this sleepy visualization as we settle into the darkness, integrating safety, cleansing the body of tension, bringing in sensations of love and acceptance, ready to welcome good dreams.
