A little extra thought from the last episode, about grounding in a relationship.

A short ramble about body awareness.

Decided to record myself while practicing throat singing. The result:

Short meditation with a long moment of silence, then chatting about how thoughts are separate, but also not separate.

I'm considering getting rid of my vehicle, here are some reflections that came up for me when contemplating whether or not to do it.

A practice for cultivating inner body awareness.

Honestly, I listened to this for the first time after recording it 8 months ago. I wanted to share with you. I think I was stoned when I recorded this, so you probably should be too. ;) Anyway. I'm just discussing the energetic bridges between our memories and how they trigger emotions within us. We can use those memories to affirm positive emotions within us, and reconditioning our life. I'd list...

The yogi is one whose spine is full of energy. Here we will direct our attention to the space within the spine. Thus we cultivate energy, awareness, and joy. Become a yogi! Fill the spine with life so that you may live embodied. :D Look for The Mental Yogi on Patreon!

Short and sweet, just like me. Ok, maybe I'm average and sour, idk. This meditation is 5 minutes of sitting with the breath and actively reversing the natural tendency of breath. Usually, the inhale creates tension and the exhale releases all gripping. In this we relax on the inhale and grip on the exhale.  Patreon: Rian Michael Yoga
