Inner peace is like being in the eye of the storm. When all around you is whizzing, spinning, maybe messy or broken, stressful or fast-paced, you can find your center and invoke a psychological or spiritual state of tranquility, harmony, stillness & inner silence. Finding your own state of Inner Peace is so important, particularly in this fast-moving world of flashy lights & seemingly never-ending stimulation. To find neutrality - giving your body, nervous system, mind & spirit a pause, time to rest & rejuvenate. Peace, serenity & calmness within, is a state of consciousness that may be reached using breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, tai chi, and yoga. Perhaps just listening in silence & getting to know yourself from the inside.

Find inner peace to calm the chaos around you. Practices like meditation, tai chi, and self-reflection help achieve tranquility in a hectic world.

A wonderful 'first' guided meditation if you are new to the practice or a gentle reminder of the simplicity of meditation and how you may experience it easily in your life. SOME HELPFUL NOTES ABOUT WHAT MAKES MEDITATION SO BENEFICIAL... Any type of deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing — during which you visualize filling up the lower part of your lungs just above your belly button like a balloon, and then exhaling slowly — is going to stimulate your vagus nerve, activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and improve your heart rate variability (HRV). The brain interprets your diaphragmatic breathing as a sign to calm the body, and does so - quite instantly. Some people make time every day to practice diaphragmatic breathing as part of a yoga or mindfulness meditation routine. Others take a deep and conscious breath when they catch themselves feeling anxious or "panicky," as a simple and immediate strategy for when they want to gain perspective, or wish to relieve some frustration. All of these applications of diaphragmatic breathing are very helpful.

In Yoga philosophy, there are five layers, or sheaths of our being, known as Koshas. These sheaths, like layers of an onion, embody our physical form inward toward our soul. When we can balance these layers into harmony with one another, we establish an inner unity that brings wholeness and internal calm into our lives. In this meditation, we explore the five layers through body scanning, and self-inquiry and practice the shift into deeper levels of awareness of our being. This is a beautiful practice to become more connected to oneself and learn to truly embody the state of bliss.

Through the exploration of the five layers of our being, yoga meditation helps us to establish inner unity and bring calm and wholeness to our lives.

Chanting Om pronounced AUM is the sound that represents Universal energy, peace, or love. It is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of a Yoga Practice. When we chant the vibrations have a physical effect on the nervous system, decreasing blood pressure and improving heart health. Experiment with chanting and notice how you feel after this practice, is there more energy or aliveness in your body? Or can you notice a sense of ease as you learn to lengthen and extend your out-breath? Chanting can also calm the mind, similar to meditation. As we chant we can feel the vibrations of nature inside of ourselves. Thank you for your ongoing practice.
