Meditation Preparation -- Setting the Stage
The body is always collecting some amount of tension.
The moves in the videos below encourage and support the body to drop what is unnecessary.
What
Shake it Loose is a free-form practice that releases stress and opens the body and breathing in a playful unscripted way. Let the body have its way with you! This creates space for the heartmind to unwind its burdens in.
When
BEFORE formal meditation practice AND periodically throughout the day.
How
Move all of the joints, all of the limbs, as much as they are able. Let breathing be free and full as the body moves. Bend, open, lengthen, roll, shake off tension that has recently accumulated. Not so vigorously that you injure yourself, but enough to tenderize the meat on the bones.
