Glimmer & Glow
We had our Sunday Introduction to Meditation Class at Yoga Bliss. We practiced a guided meditation to deepen concentration adapted from Dr. Rick Hanson‘s book, The Buddha’s Brain: the Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom.
Whole Body Breathing
We had our Sunday Introduction to Meditation Class at Yoga Bliss. We practiced a guided meditation adapted from Dr. Rick Hanson‘s book, The Buddha’s Brain: the Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom. We explored a gradual expansion of focus from the area where we felt the breath most distinctly, to feeling all parts of breathing, to the whole body and finally on the faculty of being aware itself.
The Web Inside
We had the first of our four part series of yogic explorations of the inner body. We studied how the pathways of connective tissue in the body, or the fascia, organize themselves by the ways we are structured and by ways we move. Like this spider web’s elegant design our bodies can bear weight and force, pushes and pulls. Yet if we’re strained excessively, pulled out of balance or hardened by lack of movement, we’re vulnerable to injury. Thankfully, like the spider we have the capacity to repair our web – working intelligently to strengthen and stabilize from our center so we can radiate movement outward with support!
Let’s Make a Circle
We had our Sunday Introduction to Meditation Class at Yoga Bliss. The class was dedicated to the memory of Kim Werdel and her family. We practiced an adaptation of Dr. Rick Hanson‘s guided meditation called Expanding the Circle of Loving Kindness. The meditation is drawn from his book, The Buddha’s Brain: the Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom.
