While supportive movement practices can help to move stagnant energy around.

The feeling paradox is the more we try to resist a feeling the longer the feeling lasts and when you allow a feeling you get to move through it quicker. How the heck do you do that? Especially when a feeling is uncomfortable and maybe even triggering. The practice of RAIN is a mindfulness and self compassion based practice to help you sit with uncomfortable feelings and be.
RAIN is an acronym for
Recognize
Allow
Investigate with Kindness
Nurture with Compassion
Here's what our time will look like together...
In this 75 minute practice Angela will guide you through 15 minutes of education on RAIN, 10 minutes of grounding breathwork, 30 minutes of guided meditation, and closing with journaling prompts reflection. For this workshop you will be asked to identify a mildly uncomfortable emotion with an experience that was not intense so to work on.
