| Abstract: | The intention of this practice is to stimulate our calming, soothing system – the parasympathetic nervous system. We do this through placing and holding throughout the practice a bodily posture which physiologically communicates ‘all is well’ – one that is anchored, still, open and alert, and by bringing our attention to the speed, rhythm and sensations of our breathing.
This guided practice talks through positioning the body into the correct posture and establishing the slow, calm breathing rhythm. |
