Read MoreEl Desierto: a Calming, Restorative, Stress Relief Guided Meditation in Spanish from Body Land (11 min)
Vamos a enfocarnos en los colores de un desierto. Imagina la tierra roja, rica y vibrante, que se extiende ante ti, mientras las capas de colores se despliegan a través de las mesas, los acantilados y las dunas de arena.
Visualiza como el cielo abierto esta pintado con un hermoso degradado de amarillo y rosa al amanecer. A medida que el día avanza, observa las tonalidades de azul que van cambiando. Inmensas extensiones de nubes entran y salen. Pesadas nubes de lluvia, con tonos azul-púrpura, se desplazan en el cielo, entrando y saliendo, adornadas por un flequillo de lluvia lejana que parece colgar en el aire. A veces, estas nubes lucen inmóviles, antes de que el sol vuelva a brillar, iluminando con rayos celestiales en configuraciones transitorias. Colores rosas y lavandas estallan en el cielo. Permite que esta escena se anide en tu cuerpo.

Cuerpo Tierra en Español
Hola, queridos amigos!
Bienvenidos al fascinante mundo de la Medicina Metafórica del Cuerpo Tierra, creada por la acupupunturista y autora Liz Greenhill y llevada a ustedes en español por Udom Linthavong.
Imagina esto: visualizaciones guiadas que no solo encienden tu creatividad, sino que también calman tu sistema nervioso. Te ayudarán a sentirte arraigado y en sintonía contigo mismo. Este es un espacio donde la energía se mueve, el arte se aprecia, el lenguaje cobra vida, y técnicas de la medicina china se mezclan con métodos somáticos para que puedas dejar atrás la ansiedad.
Tan a menudo, nuestras imaginaciones se aventuran en áreas de miedo y, cuando eso sucede, es como si nuestras mentes secuestraran a nuestros cuerpos y nos llevaran a un lugar de catástrofe vicaria. Cuerpo Tierra está diseñado para ser un micro-antídoto a esa respuesta de estrés.
