Summary

"Be kind to yourself. Listen to yourself. Respect yourself. Listen to your inner truth. You have wisdom. Listen. You are worth it" ~ fellow meditator, Kyle Do you feel like you've let yourself go these days of pandemic and uncertainty? This week is a chance to get back on track with caring for yourself. When you care for yourself, you have more to give to others. Self-care is a win-win for your mind, body, and spirit. This week, I invite you to give yourself some gentle self-care. You'll explore a different meditation technique in each episode to give yourself the self-care you may so badly crave these days. This is part 1 of a 7-part Self-Care meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Self-Care Quest. Every day this week, do one thing to improve a part of your life that needs attention. As an added bonus, you're encouraged to take a break from news media while you do your Self-Care Quest. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Self-Care Visualization Day 2: Affirmation "I give to myself so I have more to give to others." Day 3: Inhale+ visualize a gift, Exhale and release tension Day 4: Mukula Mudra technique Day 5: Third Chakra Focus Day 6: Layer the week's techniques together Day 7: Weekly Reflection Meditation
