Hurry Up And Go To Sleep (PMR Meditation)

05/09/23 • 21 min

How we choose to “power down” for sleep is unique to each individual person. From the tools you use to prepare yourself for slumber, like running a fan or a sound machine. The way you adjust your pillows, blankets for ultimate comfort.

Today, I want to offer another technique to help your mind and body relax for sleep. It is called PMR, or Progressive Muscle Relaxation. We’ll review the benefits and then I will walk you through a full round of PMR for our meditation practice together. Get ready to power down, it’s time to Hurry Up And Meditate.

Good Fortune Meditation (re-run)

We are all deserving of life’s good fortunes. When good things show up for us, both big and small, it stirs joy from within us. Kindness from strangers, a stroke of luck, found money, new opportunities, good parking spots. Every day, in some small way, the winds of good fortune can blow your way.

It’s a lifelong practice is to raise your vibrational alignment to be in tune with good fortune. This sentence can sound too woo-woo and off the charts for much of the population, so for today, let’s keep our quest for good fortune physical and logical for this exercise.

Today’s meditation uses the modalities of music and mudras to tap into the good fortunes in store for you. I’ll guide you into a mudra (hand position) that you can use any time you want to emphasize your good thoughts and goals for the future with confidence. Bring on the Good Fortune as we Hurry Up And Meditate!
