Today's guided meditation is a nice and slow-paced round of listening. Rather than have you go outdoors like I normally recommend, this is listening to what's around where you normally are. If you've been stuck at home for a while, you might be looking for any way to get outside the moment. In this session, we delve right back in to the here and now.
At the start, I'll also guide you through a few minutes of resonant breathing. This pranayama gets your system in balance, and resonating with itself. This is a diaphragmatic breathing exercise that activates your parasympathetic nervous system and your vagus nerve. Resonant breathing is also known as coherent breathing - and can consciously boost your Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
For more information on Resonant Breathing and how to personalize the pace to maximize your HRV, please check out the article on my site, mindfulfoliage.com. If you want to see the schedule for weekly live guided meditations, please check out my instagram, @mindfulfoliage.
