In July, at the Advancing the State of the Industry event, CND was treated to learning a great 6-minute meditation by Madeleine from Grail Springs. Even the busiest person can squeeze in 6 minutes and even the laziest bum can handle these moves. If you have not started getting healthy yet, I challenge you to start with this. Make it your morning routine right when you get out of bed!
In Madeleine’s book, the Holistic Detox, on page 47 there is a full description and photos of the mantra.
Exercise:
Face East: meditate on Gratitude
Face North: meditate on Humility
Face West : meditate on Grace
Face South: meditate on Reverence
Don’t forget to do deep breathing throughout.
Run through all poses for each direction.
Arms at your side then stretching up to the heavens (hold).
Arms down then forward, moving into a squat (knees bent, weight back on heels, toes up), join hands together stretched out in front of your head.
(Repeat this two more times.)
Then move into a balancing pose (tree pose is nice here).
Then follow this by moving onto your other leg (hold) then straight up.
Now complete this routine by bringing hands together in a prayer pose.
Bow and let your thoughts go.
