Rest And Receive

A short relaxation track to support you in releasing tension and to practice allowing yourself space to relax and to be cared for. I will welcome you into a nourishing, restful space for You; noticing and allowing any resitance that comes along with you. At the end, there is an invitation to take more time for yourself in a way that suits you. If you choose to listen to something else afterwards, one of my favourite music tracks on here is 'Floating' by James Anthony Walker, which would be a lovely follow on to this track.
