A Meditation For Overwhelm

Every human gets overwhelmed sometimes so you are in good company. The feelings of overwhelm can be hard on us - making us feel anxious, pressured and powerless - but they are only seeking our help, knowing that by taking a break to settle and using some tools, our nervous systems can relax and feel at ease. This practice and meditation offers some calming reassuring that it is okay to feel overwhelmed and to be self compassionate, and some tools to feel calmer, safer and more spacious.

Thank you Alison - this was excellent! I was in “overwhelm” in the middle of the night -worrying, overthinking and unable to sleep. The comforting embodied practices, the stretches to release tension, the mindful breathing techniques and gentle affirming phrases all contributed to calming my nervous system … and enabled me to go back to sleep in the middle of the night. Thank you so much!🙏✨🕊️

Very soothing and supportive, and loved the very slow pace of the music
