Perspective shift (Patreon)

This calming practice reflects on the topics of intuition, discernment, and truth to navigate the workings of the mind and balance the brain and nervous system. We begin with a discussion of Chapter 6 of Living Your Yoga, and then a brief meditation to release difficult energy. Then move onto the back for a series of relaxing reclined postures with breath for balance (supported fetal position, spinal twists, lunar breath, and solar breath). Transition to a relaxing seated forward fold with blocks for the third eye, and end with alternate nostril breathing and a final relaxation.  

Props: bolster, blanket, 2 blocks  

Benefits: mindset shift, energetic balance, nervous system regulation, breath, stress and anxiety-relief, understanding the mind, calm racing thoughts, third eye, intuition

Embodiment practice: In your journal, imagine and write down the best possible outcome for the day. Do this every day during stressful times to shift your perspective.

Mantra for Daily Living: The worst could happen; the best could happen. Life is usually somewhere in between.
