Although the holidays are meant to be a time of celebration, and this time of year is a time to appreciate the return of the light with solstice as the days( in the northern hemisphere) become longer, for many they are a time of extra stress. If you have family and friends to gather with, preparing for a big communal meal or celebration can be stressful. The commercialisation of this time of year pressures us to buy gifts for everyone. Meeting with family members you have painful history with can resurrect the feelings of hurt, difference, loneliness and old trauma. For others, there is the pain of having lost family members or not having family and friends to be with on special occasions.
Whatever stress you may experience this time of year, even if it’s the happy stress of gathering with people you love, it can be helpful to take time to take care of yourself, to remember what your body needs, to slow down and listen deeply. These are the gifts inherent in Continuum.
In this 3-hour webinar class, we will practice nourishing the body-mind with the gentle breaths, sounding and movement of Continuum. We will slow down, rest deeply, melt old patterning and holding in the body tissues, as we return to our original fluid nature. Where everyday life can create tension and density in both body and psyche, with Continuum we can begin to melt that tension, soften our tissues, kindle our heart fires, and emerge feeling refreshed and resilient.
If this appeals to you, please join us. You may find you have much more to celebrate afterwards.
This 3-hour webinar airs on Wednesday, December 18th. The cost is £35 GBP paid via PayPal.
Please set up a mat, blanket, sheepskin, etc. for yourself before the webinar begins so you can be comfortable lying down for long periods of time and still see/hear the webinar.
