Special Episode | Gentle meditation to listen to the body’s wisdom
It is superfluous to say that the last few years have been challenging for many of us — especially for those that have delicate nervous systems or are in general more sensitive.
If you are caught in the feeling of those tense vibrations, know that you are not alone. Sensitivity is a gift, though it may not always feel like it. But with that sensitivity, we can find ways to nurture and soothe our system. We can acknowledge the chaos and then bring ourselves back to a grounded and resourced space.
