Dancing to the Beat of Your Drum ~ Opening to Ecstatic Movement ~ 12 minutes
Need a pick-me-up or a pattern-disruptor through your day? Spend some time opening your body to improvisation in a way you may not be accustomed to. This practice is especially useful for those seeking ways to enter into improvised "dance". It isn't as scary as it may seem and may sometimes just require the simple containment of a framework to begin from. If you find this of use to you, please share it with another.Connect, contribute and receive from the Spirals of Soma Patreon world ~ https://patreon.com/SpiralsofSoma ~Explore shorter movement practices and wellbeing insights on instagram ~ @spiralsofsoma Connect, contribute and receive from the Spirals of Soma Patreon world ~ https://patreon.com/SpiralsofSoma ~ Explore shorter movement practices and wellbeing insights on instagram ~ @spiralsofsoma

Somatic nidra ~ yogic sleep ~ 10 minute
The power of rotating our consciousness throughout our body in a completely rested state is profound with benefits extending to so many aspects of our physical and spiritual health. This Nidra is a contemporised interpretation of a traditional Yoga Nidra, an incredibly potent healing tool to rebalance our overworked lifestyles offering the effects of hours of sleep in even a very short session. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol, improves sleep, and helps regulate mood, digestion, and hormonal balance — all through deep, structured rest.Connect, contribute and receive from the Spirals of Soma Patreon world ~ https://patreon.com/SpiralsofSoma ~ Explore shorter movement practices and wellbeing insights on instagram ~ @spiralsofsoma Connect, contribute and receive from the Spirals of Soma Patreon world ~ https://patreon.com/SpiralsofSoma ~ Explore shorter movement practices and wellbeing insights on instagram ~ @spiralsofsoma
