This was our second week on Zoom for the weekly live meditation and Q&A, and folks seem to be really digging it. Teacher of the Month Christiane Wolf and executive producer DJ Cashmere enjoyed some lively engagement with the renegade sangha. The meditation portion is free for everyone, and paid subscribers can watch the full replay.
Christiane started us off with a short, body-based practice: feeling your feet and seat, putting a hand on your heart, and letting the exhale get a little longer—simple ways to anchor yourself in the present.
From there, she and DJ responded to questions and comments from all of you. Here’s a peek at what they covered:
Using swaying, rocking, and other grounding moves to settle the nervous system
What to do with intrusive, even violent thoughts that pop up on the cushion
How to keep loving-kindness simple when you’re second-guessing the “difficult person”
Whether it’s “normal” to have grief and big emotions show up in meditation (spoiler: very)
Thanks to everyone who joined. Christiane and DJ will be back on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 4:00 p.m. ET on Zoom for another live meditation and Q&A for paid subscribers.
