Today we practiced "Intuitive Guidance" followed by 10 minutes of silence. - Place your hand upon your heart space and feel the warmth. - Visualize the heart space as a ball of energy/light/flame, growing stronger and brighter with the breath. - Scan the body for a part to work with. - We assume that the body keeps the score and that emotions/sensations are messages. Approach and accept the sensations, thoughts, visions and other things that arise with compassionate curiosity and calm confidence. - Become the inner therapist/parent and allow that part to express it self. Feeling, listening, observing deeply. Asking questions to encourage it to open up. - Offer love and commit to return to this part in a future session. This practice takes time. Time for you to familiarize yourself with the proceed and time for the parts to trust that you are there and available. Take time. Be like the breath, subtle but continuous and ever returning. Come back to this practice again. As many times as you/the part need. PS: daily replays can be found here

Anddd it's done🤯 I can't believe how fast this month went... I'm so glad I did this challenge, I'm definitely going to continue practicing mindful meditation and I'm gonna check out some other of your recordings in the classroom! It's been so amazing to have the time for myself when I do this, it's such an important habit to have! I'm excited to see if I make it in implementing it in my everyday life for the rest of my life 😅 Thank you @Zachary Phillips once more for making this challenge, it was a pleasure to participate🥳

I'm so happy I got to day 29! This has been so helpful and interesting to me🥺 And the questions in this session about motivation, purpose, etc are so important and I have different answers now🥳 I can't wait to continue with this even when the challenge is done🤞🏼

Today we practiced "A Loving Inner Vision Exploration" followed by 10 minutes of silence. - Place your hand upon your heart space and feel the warmth. - Visualize the heart space as a ball of energy/light/flame, growing stronger and brighter with the breath. - Invite a part of your past/body into the session. Approach and accept the sensations, thoughts, visions and other things that arise with compassionate curiosity and calm confidence. - Gently and lovingly offer love and trust with the breath - Commit to return to this part in a future session If we hold that the body keeps the score and that emotions/sensations are messages we need to hear, this session is us doing just that. We feel, listen, see and accept. Becoming our own inner parent/therapist listening to our parts as they express, release and slowly reintegrate. PS: daily replays can be found here

Today we practiced "Finger/Mountain Breathing" followed by 10 minutes of silence. - Place your pointer finger at the base of the opposite thumb and with a slow breath in through the nose 'climb the mountain' of the thumb, pausing at the top, then slowly descend with the out breath. - Repeat this process for all the finders on the hand. This is a mindful practice as we focus on the sensations of the fingers as we climb. The slowing of the breath is akin to a square/box breathing practice. Nose, low, slow, calming the body and mind.
