One of my favourite meditations that I return to again and again.
A compass is a symbol โ a quiet reminder that we are on the right path. That we are guided, supported, and held in this life, no matter which way we turn.
Try this simple practice:
Turn your head to the right
The East symbolises new beginnings
Breathe in
Breathe out
Send love to all who walk beside you and support you
Return your head to centre
Breathe in
Breathe out
Turn your head to the left
The West symbolises endings and release
Breathe in
Breathe out
Send love to all who have walked with you, in this life or beyond
Return your head to centre
Breathe in
Breathe out
Lift your head upward
The North symbolises guardianship
Breathe in
Breathe out
Send love to those who watch over you
Return your head to centre
Breathe in
Breathe out
Bring your chin gently towards your chest
The South symbolises self nourishment
Breathe in
Breathe out
Send gratitude to yourself for showing up
Send love and appreciation to all that you are
Return your head to centre
Breathe in
Breathe out
You might like to pair this with gentle neck stretches, throat massage, or myofascial release into the occiput, frontalis, and temporalis.
Iโll be exploring MYO + Yin in my upcoming Yin series.
Join one or come along for the full journey.
Each class includes a downloadable recording to keep, a detailed lesson plan, and plenty of ideas to take straight into your own teaching.
