An opportunity to land, arrive and relax...
Relaxing our tension can help us expand our capacity to feel our compassion and our connectedness to ourselves and others. We are practicing relaxing and opening when we feel the impulse to do the opposite. We are practicing on our mats, so we can be more open and compassionate in the daily moments of our lives.
Metta (Lovingkindness) is an ancient technique that helps us expand our capacity to connect with our heart’s core qualities. Traditionally, it combines visualization with affirmations or prayers coupled with the practice of self-awareness.
In this practice, we’ll weave metta affirmations and blessings throughout our slow flow warm-ups and as we settle deeply into our restoratives. With a special focus on our lungs and heart center, we’ll expand our capacity to stay present and listen with our hearts, so you can continue releasing tension, find deep relaxation, and respond (not react) with awareness and compassion.
