This Inner Moment

A slow, grounding practice for reconnecting to your body through gratitude. Begin lying down with both hands on the belly, breathing deeply until the breath softens into its natural pace. From there, move gently through each of your senses, noticing one ordinary, beautiful thing through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Close by returning fully to the present moment, and to gratitude for simply being here.Created by a Licensed Acupuncturist and CranioSacral practitioner with 15+ years of experience, inspired by Eastern medicine and somatic principles.

Some days don't ask for anything remarkable from us. They just ask us to notice. Today, we soften into the ordinary; the coffee, the quiet, the small unnoticed moments and let gratitude meet us there.New episodes every Sunday. _______________Gratitude sheet + resources: beacons.ai/acuwithfranchesca
