About this session

Nurture yourself!

Allow your loving energy to flow; then bring it inward.

Through Heart-Centered Guided Relaxation you can balance mind, body & spirit using your own hands and presence.

Throughout the session, you are guided to place your own hands on your own body to help your inner being become more prominent in your awareness.

"I am here now," is an accompanying mantra.

Join us for this en-heartening guided relaxation. You will feel more at home within yourself!

What to expect

Each session will begin with an overview, followed by introductions and preparative direction.

The Guided Relaxation segment is approximately 20 minutes.

Afterward, there will be opportunity for brief sharing and group discussion as appropriate.



How to prepare

Wear loose-fitting clothes and have a blanket or sweatjacket available to keep you feeling warm and cozy if needed.

During relaxation, your body temperature may lower slightly — much like it does when you are sleeping — due to decreased movement for a period of time. Some people may feel cooler as a result of this. If you are too warm or too cold, it’s hard to relax, so be prepared for either condition.

Turn off your phone, buzzers, alarms, dings, notifications, announcements, etc.

These can wait. Distractions and disruptions make it difficult to relax into deeper states.

Give yourself the best possible chance to relax. Your well-being is the most important thing here!

Enjoy Guided Relaxation in these ways:

  • Lying down - on a yoga mat, floor or sofa

  • Seated - on a comfortable, supportive chair or on the floor using a cushion for comfort and wall for back support

Guided relaxation sessions took me deeper into myself. I liked how Michael monitored my reactions and got me to experience a deeper sense of relaxation with his verbal cues. The feeling of relaxation and well-being lasted for days after my session.
