 Lisa Meuser – New Ways to Gently Include your Body
(30 minutes)

This rest, which spontaneously occurred during a Gathering event, was created for people looking to safely and gently explore and connect with their body in ways they may not have considered. Different options are given throughout the rest recording, allowing the listener to lean into what best resonates for them.

Listeners are invited to “pause” the recording any time they would like more time to be with what has arisen.

From a client: “This rest recording is very safe and inviting for me. Safety is created in part through the offering of gentle options. I recommend this for anxious people. For people who are looking to explore grounding. For people looking for guided meditation.”

 Lisa Meuser 15 Minute Rest
(15 minutes)

With this rest, and any rest, I encourage you to pause the recording when it resonates so that you can spend more time in exploration. In this simple rest we explore attention and how we connect with what’s in attention.

 Lisa Meuser “Hi, Ok, I Love You”.
(30 minutes)

In this facilitated rest I use a different version of the mantra “‘Thank you for arising, I love you, you’re welcome to stay” as a way to gently become more intimate with the expressions of experience.
