Resonance of the Atlas (to get better sleep)

Tune into your nervous system, creating a sensation of resonance through your whole body, so you can rest.

A Cartography of Rest

We talk a bit about the four levels of being (and reality) and how metaphors of the earth apply to the body. We tune into four layers of the body and coax each one into a relaxed safe state. Listen before bed and let me know how it feels.

Drift into Darkness while Glowing

The pattern of the mycelium network is around us and within. Let it transform into a softly glowing nightlight that protects you and feel yourself soften into a resting state.

Waterfall of the Hips

Your body is a landscape. You have a river running through you. It horseshoes into a waterfall in the hips. 

Rest into nature and into your body through this image of a river running down your spine. This is designed to help increase qi flow in the hips and pelvis. 

Cloudbody

Need some levity? Let’s drop it like it’s hot and be clouds.   

Erase everything in the room. You get to be a cloud just like those dreams when you are flying. But this time, something special happens when you drop your baggage. 

Ruby's Yurt

In this visualization we envision the ribcage as a shelter for both rest and play.

This one goes out to Ruby.

Fly Free

Feeling a little lighter?

Let’s amplify that sensation with this visualization to help you somaticize the sensation of freedom.

Tree Within Tree

Ultimate Stress Release Guided Visualization @ 10 minutes

Make a forest diorama in yr chest and feel all the feels of trees. 

You've Got Glands!

Work your head’s inner teardrop until it glows up your brain.   

This one’s like a brain massage. But anywhere you got a gland you can do this. Don’t stop here. Google glands and keep going. 

Marble Drop

Loosen up your joints while reducing anxiety. 

 Floating on a raft in a bay, we practice feeling safe and secure, and the act of letting go. 

Settle the Spine

 Calm stress and ease anxiety while nourishing your neck and back. This is a 12 minute guided visualization.

 Find yourself in a quiet stream in the forest where everything aligns around and within. 

Sanctity of the Sacrum

Make a palapa in your pelvis. Really. It feels so good.  Especially for lower back pain and gynecological conditions.  Under 7 minutes.

Your sacrum is a shovel-shaped bone between your spine and your tailbone. It is cupped like a palm. Settle in to a peaceful vacation deep in your own body.

Juice Up (in a Jiffy) 8 min guided visualization

Replenish yourself with the flavors of the earth. 

 Help protect and repair the planet.

And maybe support your local juice joint? 

7 Minute River Recharge

Approximately 2/3 of our bodies are water. In Chinese Medicine, water is the yin energy that anchors us, calms us, and replenishes our nervous system. Take a plunge into some fresh natural river imagery to refill your 67%. 

Feeling grateful for water? Make a donation to help clean up the Verde River in Arizona, the Lower Snake River in Washington, and support the Waterkeeper Alliance.

Season 3 Starting Now

Keeping it real, keeping it surreal, and keeping it brief. Let’s do more with less with a season of extra shorty visualizations for the now. Wishing you good health, good luck, and composure for the continued intensity of 2020. 

Recharge the Heart

This visualization goes out to the leaders working for positive change. Thank you for your efforts, your passion, and your sacrifices. We use metaphor as medicine to land in our bodies. We send ripples through the body with our breath, ignite the heart, and entrust the pelvis and the mind to support our nervous system so we can rest and recharge.

The Down Dial

Turn the dial down on your nervous system to catch some solid sleep and bring your body into repose. When we invite the deep yin into our being, we can surrender our nervous energy and find a sense of peace.
