BONUS: Guided Heart Center Practice With Sarah Powers
In Episode 17, Sarah Jane and Jen spoke with their teacher Sarah Powers about the wisdom and opportunity for awakening amidst the suffering of the coronavirus pandemic.
During the recording of that episode, Sarah generously led an inquiry meditation for holding and healing wounded and distressed parts of ourselves with maitri, loving friendship to ourselves. We decided to release this meditation separately so that you can return to it again and again as need.
The meditation begins at 00:27 and is approximately 15 minutes long.
Following the meditation is a dialogue where Sarah Jane and Jen share about what arose for them during the practice. Sarah skillfully unpacks their experiences within the wider context of "parts work" according to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. This is a teaching unto itself, and it is our greatest hope that it will be of benefit.
The dialog begins at 16:00.
Skillful Means Podcast offers these guided practices to help you deepen into your yoga and mindfulness journey.
You can find more audio recording from Sarah Powers on her website.
