S1, Ep10: Embodied Relaxation

To celebrate our 10th episode and end of our first season of EMBODY, Michelle shares one of her most favourite and popular embodied relaxation practices!  (For obvious reasons, please do not drive whilst listening to this).In today's modern and busy world, embodied relaxation is a gentle and safe way to reconnect to the body, inviting all parts to release tension and stress.   It offers rest-bite for the mind and all the thoughts we think every single day.  In case you're wondering, we think on average 50,000 thoughts every day!This down-regulation practice is particularly beneficial for anyone who experiences a lot of fight/flight energy in their body, which can feel like living in a state of hypervigilance (constantly assessing the level of threat around you).  It can also be helpful for anyone who disconnects from their body a lot. This embodied practice is also helpful for stress in general, sleep issues and reducing feelings of overwhelm. Hope you enjoy!
