Download this to your phone so you can be guided to rest throughout the day. Just 5 minutes of rest can recharge your body.
Move
This guided practice is quite different from the others in the book. It will help you slow down and notice the authentic movement in your body, without overriding it with your thoughts about how you should move. It’s best if you’re wearing comfortable clothes. You’ll probably want to practice in private. It’s 17 minutes long.
This is just a taste of what is possible if you’ll give your body time to unwind and express itself. If you have more time you can set aside 1/2 an hour or an hour to do this practice. Set a timer, or play some music and move as long as the music plays. Shamanic Dream by Anugama is a perfect album to accompany this practice. Each song is half an hour long. (I’d like to thank Emily Conrad, founder of Continuum, for teaching me to slow down and let my body unwind in this way. She is the inspiration for this practice).
