Heart-Warming Practices

I recently contributed to 8 Limbs Yoga Centers month-long community inquiry, what warms you up? (Click here for my full, but brief, article.) Below are three simple, heart-warming practices I shared, along with a six-minute guided meditation.

• Upon waking, light candles instead of turning on lights. You might even take your morning shower by candlelight.
• With one or both hands over heart, spend a few moments feeling the warmth your own touch brings.
• Bring to mind a time you witnessed a smile spontaneously spread across someone’s face and into their eyes. Notice what it feels like in body to abide with a moment of joy.

What do you do to stay warm, inside and out? I always love hearing from people.

Warmly,

Ashley
