Centering Practice: “Going to” the Heart, Cultivating Joy, and Working with Energy (a Practical Guide)

If you’ve read my previous posts, you’ll understand just how much I value the cultivation of a practice (routine, or ritual) that you can return to daily (in some cases, many times a day). When people first start coming in for energetic support with me, there seems to be an amount of mysticism around practices like meditation, intention setting, and setting up any kind of personal ritual. I think actually, that we have been conditioned and programmed to be detached from our innate ability to connect to something deeper than ourselves, outside of traditional religions. I stand by my belief that cultivating centering practices is not only possible for us all, but it can enhance our lives in myriad ways:

• It can help establish routine, which will reinforce the return to our practices, and ultimately to ourselves.

• It can help us to regulate our nervous system, lower cortisol and heart rate.

• It can help us improve our interoception.

• It can help us learn to trust our initial instincts.

• It can help us to learn to seek less validation from others.

• It can enhance our creativity.

• It can help us receive “downloads” from our higher self/guides/angels/source.

I’d like to walk you through a centering practice that you can do daily. With any of the information that I offer, take what is resonant for you, and leave the rest….
