An Inner Rhythms deep body meditation with Mariane Karou for connecting to your inner strength. The practice begins by settling down into the earth — as solid as a mountain — and then feeling the movement that is already occurring within that solidity: breath, sensation, every cell alive. Attention moves to the breath as a strong, steady wave, relaxing deeply into the back ribs to build a container that holds the heart. As the back ribs strengthen, the heart center softens and opens — because it is held. You are guided to touch your heart with kind, tender attention and to receive, from that grounded, breathing, open-hearted place, whatever your health, relationships, and work areas most need.
