(20 min PRACTICE) Heart Centered Movement w/ Nkechi Njaka

This mindful movement practice is designed for us to meet ourselves and the space of our hearts. Our connection with our heart is our guide to begin the process of uncovering the ways in which we can express more fully and from the heart-center.

This moving meditation invites will help us to suspend self-judgement while also exploring the places of our hearts and bodies that need more spaciousness and ease and openness.

Find a comfortable place to be for a guided moving meditation for 15 minutes. Have a journal nearby to reflect after the practice.

Reflection:

1 - How is the heart doing?

2 - What did I notice in the heart-center?

3 - What is directing my motion and emotion?

4 - What happens when I allow myself to feel into the movement of the heart?

5 - Where, who and/or what can I send heart-gratitude to?

6 - What or how am I more aware of the heart-space?

7 - What is the desire of my heart?

8 - What is my deep sense of connection and rootedness?
