This short, guided practice invites you to center and invite ease into the mind and the heart. With focused attention on the body and repetition of phrases, you turn down the volume of the stress response in the body, initiating relaxation of the body and mind. From this relaxed state, you can release perfectionism, self-criticism, and shame, and embrace the evolution of healing and self-care as a learning process.
