I don’t think you know this about me but…
…part of my job is to lead meditations for busy executives and corporate offices here in New York City.
Some clients know what they want in terms of style, duration, and all that stuff…so they make their requests.
The most common request?
A meditation with little, to no gaps of silence. In other words, a meditation that’s 100% guided, as opposed to the ones with too much silence.
Hmmmm, New Yorkers not comfortable with silence. I’d say shocking!
But in all seriousness, this is totally understandable…
…because too much silence can be intimidating not just to new meditators, but to those with anxiety, PTSD, etc.
But, you might be asking…
…can I still get the benefits of meditation if I’m not practicing at least some “silence”?
Yes you can.
The key is one-pointed awareness.
Meaning, keeping your mind busy with ONE single thing.
This practice is also known as mindfulness, active concentration, or Dharana (in yogic Sanskrit).
Active concentration is a powerful technique that with time and practice, can ease you into that stage of “silence” with less frustration.
Anyway, my response to clients is always…
Coming right up!
So I crafted this guided “body scanning” practice designed to build focus, present-moment awareness, relaxation, and…
…to keep you uplifted during these challenging times 🙂
…all while keeping the mind “busy” on one point.
Body scanning is a powerful relaxation and mindfulness technique most commonly used in Yoga Nidra meditations.
The practice involves bringing your awareness (attention) to, or feeling, different areas of the body in a very specific order.
In this meditation, you’ll be guided into a body scanning practice using light.
Meaning, in addition to bringing your awareness to different areas of the body, you’ll also visualize points of light spreading throughout the body.
Confusing?
Well, let’s just do it.
