The Depths Of Winter

For when the world wants a fresh start and you want a blanket.

This meditation uses winter as a theme for slowing down and making room. You do not have to enjoy darkness, stillness or the season to take part.

Before you begin

Choose what feels comfortable. A light on, your eyes open or a shorter listen are all fine. Notice what helps today rather than performing winter properly.

Use these practices somewhere you can pause safely. Keep your breathing comfortable and adjust any instruction that does not suit you. If the practice makes you feel worse, stop and look around the room or choose another activity.

A useful thought

You are allowed a quieter pace without turning rest into another achievement.
