Guided Relaxation

Autumn is around the corner!  Even if we're not in the "Back to School" crowd, the approach of Labor Day has us all wrapping up summer projects and launching into the fall.  It's easy to lose step with practices that support our well-being.  Whenever I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities, I tend to have a harder time convincing myself to meditate.  I find guided relaxations are a great way to jump-start my practice when I'm struggling to motivate myself.

I hope you enjoy this relaxation, called Yoga Nidra in the Integral Hatha Yoga lineage. You can practice it in a chair or lying down. ​We start with a progressive muscle relaxation.  Then, observe our body, breath and mind in its natural, relaxed state.
