Self Care to Start Your Day

"I make sure not to interact with people in person or via text or phone until I've done my morning meditation to get in the right mindset for the day." ~ Your Fellow Meditator, Jerome 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 and need these days. When you nurture your own needs, you're able to be more present for others. This is part 5 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 LET'S SUPPORT EACH OTHER - WANT TO SHARE YOUR MEDITATION RITUAL WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS?
