We’re not all that good at stopping to integrate life experiences.
Even when it’s not holiday season, we tend toward the future. What’s next?
Our relaxation strategies are usually escapism. Involvement in fantasy. Or someone else’s life. Or sensual indulgence.
Or hamster wheel-ism. Endlessly caught in thought loops, as if enough time there will lead us to . . . what? Comfort? Understanding? A way to be what we were before?
The more we deal with changes, the more we need time to integrate. And you’d be hard pressed to convince anyone that this year hasn’t been one for change.
A simple 15 minutes of intentional relaxation can help the nervous system move toward restoration and healing. Allowing ourselves to just be can foster integration at unconscious levels. Letting go of doing becomes a delicious indulgence.
The conscious relaxation video (savasana in yoga) is available for viewing through December at no charge. After that, it’s available on the website.
Enjoy your holiday season!
