Simple Dynamic Meditation

This is a simple dynamic meditation that works well to place your attention back to the heart space and release stress and anxiety. All this meditation asks you to do is focus on your breath and move your arms in a few different directions in order to calm the body and mind so you can come back home to the space of the heart with a sense of grounded alignment.

Hi,

Welcome to this dynamic meditation for stress.

A dynamic meditation is a meditation practice where there's physical action involved.

So we'll be using our arms linked with our breath and intentionality of movement in this practice today.

So you can do this seated,

You could do it standing,

And you could even do it in a reclined position although I do believe that it's easier in a seated or standing position.

So take a few moments now to establish your seat whether that's in a chair or standing on your feet or as I mentioned in a reclined position.

Once you establish your seat just take a few slow deep breaths.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Again,

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Let's do this one more time to come to the practice.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Now bring your palms together and allow the thumbs to rest in the heart space.

You can have eyes open or closed for this meditation.

Do what feels like it serves you best right now.

As you inhale start to press the palms together and elongate the arms taking the fingertips forward.

As you exhale open the arms out one going left one going right.

As you inhale reach the arms up overhead eventually touching the palms together over the crown of the head and the exhalation brings the palms back down through the center line of the brow the nose the mouth back into the seat of the heart.

We'll inhale take the fingertips forward arms elongate.

Exhale open the arms wide out left and right.

Inhale reaching the arms up overhead palms come back together.

Exhaling hands come down through the center line back to the heart.

Let's do five more cycles like this.

Inhaling arms go forward.

Exhaling arms open wide.

Inhaling arms go up.

Exhaling hands back through the heart.

Inhaling arms forward.

Exhaling arms open.

Inhale arms up.

Inhale arms up.

Exhale hands to heart.

Inhale forward.

Exhale open.

Inhale up.

Exhale heart.

One more full complete cycle.

Inhale arms forward.

Exhale arms open.

Inhale arms up.

Exhale hands back to heart center.

Observe here how you feel.

Deep breath in.

Full breath out.

Release the hands.

And again just another breath to notice.

Do you feel a little less stressed?

And a little more present.

Anchor that into the present moment with a deep inhalation in through the nose.

Full breath out of the mouth.

May you go back into your day.

Feeling less stressed and more at peace.

Namaste.

Calming, centering, beautiful practice with lovely harp accompaniment. Thank you!

Frankly I started out this meditation with a bad attitude and generally feeling annoyed. I must say it was effective in bringing me back to a more positive frame of mind. Something about opening up your arms really works!
