Every Thursday, I stream a live meditation session over on Instagram. I want to provide a space where you can take a 'paws' mid-week and regain some balance and relaxation. I felt that this was particularly important during this time of uncertainty and elevated stress. The people who joined in with the live meditation gave some great feedback so I wanted to share the session in a way that you can follow along at home, in your own time.

Here is my 20 Minute Meditation Routine that you can do at home!

Ask yourself how you're doing:

Check in with yourself. How are you feeling right now? Give yourself space to acknowledge the key emotions that you’re feeling.

Take some deep breaths:

Count as you breath. Inhale for 3 counts, hold for 3 counts and exhale for 3 counts. Take your time and don’t rush. Repeat this breathing technique 5 times.

Mobilise your joints

Practise gentle rotations of your:
– neck
– shoulders
– wrists
– ankles
3 rotations clockwise, 3 rotations anti-clockwise

I don't meditate, but this is definitely something I want to integrate into my life. Thank you for sharing this post! Also, I just watched your morning routine video on Youtube and loved it! :)
