🌷 A morning of mindful meditations, gentle Qi Gong based movement and deep relaxation.
🌷 In Chinese Medicine, autumn is connected to the metal element and signifies a time of moving inwards and letting go of what no longer serves us.
🌷During this morning, we will gather and harvest the mental and emotional fruits of the summer months; reflecting and preparing for moving into a new season.
The Metal element is linked to the lungs and large intestine so we will include meditations, Qi Gong based mindful movement and relaxation practices to also strengthen and support our physical body.
Feedback from previous retreats:
“I left with a deep sense of calm and serenity.”
“The combination of different meditations were guided skillfully by Kate. She dispelled any anxiousness I might have felt by her calm and gentle approach”
“A very nourishing morning of well prepared and varied mindful activities, in a beautiful setting with lovely people”.
“I felt the whole morning was beneficial in so many ways. I arrived so tense and stressed and left feeling like I was floating on air, and I still feel relaxed and more in control; it feels amazing.”
Who is this morning for?
🌷 These mindfulness mornings are suitable for everyone; as an introduction to mindfulness practices, if you are new to meditation, or an opportunity to deepen your practice if you already have some experience. Everyone is welcome.
🌷 What should I bring?
Please bring a yoga mat, a blanket and pillow for the relaxation meditation, layered clothing, and a water bottle.
What will we do?
The morning will include:
🧘♀️ A Settling Meditation, checking in with the body, emotions and mind and allowing ourselves to fully arrive in the shared space.
🌸 Gentle Qi Gong based mindful movement to working with the lungs and large intestine to release stagnant energy and boost the flow of energy or ‘chi’.
🧘♂️ A longer guided meditation practice to relieve stress, improve the immune system and lower blood pressure.
🌸 Refreshments and homemade bakes.
🧘♂️ Mindful Walking (outside weather permitting) combined with a sound meditation of nature.
🌸 Relaxation meditation; setting up our yoga mats (or sitting on a chair if you prefer), creating a nest of blankets for a final deep relaxation meditation with mini sound bath.
