Embodied Mindfulness is a friendly somatic introspective practice for the modern body/mind

There is a strong need for inner downtime in the hustle and bustle of life to stay connected with ourselves. Pausing to unplug, connect and reset through somatic practice is an easy way to balance out the nervous system. Embodied Mindfulness is a friendly somatic introspective practice designed for the modern body/mind. These embodied practices are a contemporary approach to meditation that highlights soft variations in breathing as a doorway into stillness. We get into the groove of our own breath rhythm and make subtle changes in tempo, duration, and effort. These changes are enough to occupy the mind so the body can easily settle and guide the movement of the mind, breath by breath, into slowness and stillness. Collaborating with our physiology, we learn to relax into our interior and listen to sensation. This practice builds the muscle of equanimity so we can sit easily and be with ourselves generously, gradually cultivating more ease, patience and well-being over time.This session begins with a brief introduction and context, followed by experiential practice and ends with Q&amp;A. Open to all levels of experience.<a href="http://somaticexpression.com/classes/EMModule1.html" title="http://somaticexpression.com/classes/EMModule1.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.somaticexpression.com</a>
