presencing: heart-centered practices for hard times

Warmth of Presence Practice

FRIDAY, JANUARY 5
10:00-11:00 AM ET
live online + recordings

Cold, dark, and brittle are the qualities of winter. These qualities don't only happen around us in the environment, they also happen within us, within our bodies and our minds. Add to that the sociopolitical climate, and our impulse to hibernate, which is natural this time of year, makes sense.

But we can also practice balancing these qualities by adding a little heat and fluidity to create ease, groundedness and openness. This warmth can help us show up more, accept the winter stages in a new way, and create new ways of connecting with ourselves and each other. We will use a traditional taoist smile practice to add a little light in our body and mind. After all, even a little light, may be just the healing balm needed to help us feel a little more present even in the darker hours.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Our tension, discomfort, stress, and anxiety can make it feel impossible to feel present and openβ€”especially these days. When we add on the distress that we have all been experiencing over the past several years, it's hard to imagine a time when we will feel resourced enough to show up in our lives and to connect with the world around us. How can we truly show up for ourselves and each other when we’re exhausted, on edge, or overwhelmed?

In this new practice series, we’ll explore mindful movement, restoratives, and compassion and Metta-inspired meditations that will balance our nervous system and garner more energy and stamina in service of meeting whatever arises with a wakeful and kind presence. Come join to bolster our ease, warmth, mood, energy, and even immunity and overall well-being. 

We’ll create a foundation through the body and the senses, and then expand our awareness… gently attuning to the resonance of heart and bolstering our resilience as we open to the complex emotional experience and vulnerabilities we are carrying. Offering true presenceβ€”deep listeningβ€”to ourselves and each other not only changes the way we listen and feel heard but leaves others feeling more seen and heard as well.  This is the greatest gift of our practice. 

Plus, pair each practice with my FREE Friday Deep Listening Meditations at 9:30am ET.
