Approximately 2/3 of our bodies are made up of water. In Chinese Medicine, water is the yin energy that anchors us, calms us, and replenishes our nervous system. Take a plunge into some fresh natural river imagery to bring you back to your 67%. Feeling grateful for water?

Emotions as Colors (before Bedtime)
Here’s another visualization to listen to before bed. to free up and bring movement to any emotions that might be hanging around stalling our ability to rest. We use symbolism to envision the emotions as colors, which lets them be energetic, as opposed to stories tied to thoughts, which take us out of the body and into the mind. So, just let the colors fly, float, wash, and waft through you, trusting in the process, the energetic release, and your ability to embody a metaphor as a way to change the way you feel.
Resonance of the Atlas (to get better sleep)
Tune into your nervous system, creating a sensation of resonance, so you can find rest.
Night Time Ripple Breathing (12 min guided visualization before bed)

Drift into Darkness while Glowing
