Thank you for your session I find your meditation very 😌 relaxing and help with my day and epilepsy condition..

Amazing and different body scan. I look forward to returning to this again.✨🙏🏼💜💜💜✨

I loved this. Nourishing and enlightening. A wonderful practice for equinox today 🙏

Relaxing attunement to the body. Left me feeling the fluidity and vitatlity of my physical form as it works in unison.

Lovely practice, thank you!
What I like here is that it’s not one those worn-out versions of scripts used in mbsr/mbct/basic mindfulness courses (that get old quite soon, not to say boring as you get to know them better), yet quite the opposite of those, yours for me felt as a breeze of fresh air, as vital watery essence in a landscape that so often seems barren and dried out. Yeah to all kinds of new-style bodyscans from any personal, authentic voice out there, especially hours (encore!).
Another delight I found immediately in your opening couple of minutes, which on me had a really strong, effective force to draw me in immediately on what I call a ‘soul’-level (just my way of referencing to that centered part within, similar to ‘bodymind’ or energy body, which links both mind and matter, and as such is more healing than any single one of either other pole). Just as when I focus on sensing my breath, i then cannot help being pulled into bodily awareness, so too there are some things which have a similar effect on that soul-awareness for. Imagination and music being 2 especially powerful ones among those… And already from the very start of this practice I could sense their pull (too which I admit I gladly surrendered: such great background track, and that imagery wherin my body gets to be an ocean or any other body of water or to be the earth itself, underneath a layer of fog laying over kit, hovering - i suppose I’m just a sucker for that stuff, and suspect lots of others will enjoy it)…
Another final thing I like to mention, is your start at root centre and pelvic floor. Not only was this a welcome change for me (from nidras starting with right thumb and modern body scans working up from left toe), what I found even more interesting in a way is that you didn’t really refer to ‘chakra’ as such but did mention vertebrae, nerves, muscles and bones. In doing so you put your finger right on a sort of hiatus tthat feel is missing in chakra theory. What I mean is the simple fact that (unlike other vertrebrea S, L, T, Ce) the joined vertebrea that form the root, don’t actually have any nerves in them -which is most problematic when chakras get associated only with the nervous system (whilst of course an energy centre really doesn’t need nerves imho). My own way around this I have always found in tension release exercises (TRE, used in PTSD mostly) or in Kundalini yoga. In short, the deeply tucked away source of the most intense energy in us (worse when traumatised, but strong either way) lies bottled up in our psoas major but especially minor muscle. I have no idea if are aware of that factand therefor did it intentionally, but in your opening 5 minutes you almost drew a perfect outline of these muscles (especially where you get energy/focus to flow from hips and ties in front to tailbone and upwards). And just as in kundaline that’s is a particularly strong energetic point to start from and to (without calling it so) sublimate.
So I have found a beautiful new gem to add to my bodyscan playlist in this more traditional, yet most contemporary body scan I’ve ever come across myself (i even picked up on a hint about neuroplasticity even, no?).
So, Rachel, 🙏 namaste 🙏!
