Confronting change almost always means navigating challenging emotions. Even the most exciting changes in our lives can bring anxiety. I’d say change is synonymous with anxiety - because any time we step out of our old routines, we have to develop new ones. And that means stepping out of our comfort zone into the unknown.When change knocks at your door, knowing how to rest in a state of calm can be a huge skill to have. That way, whatever new feelings and emotions arise, you can rest in a state of calm abiding while the storms - even the welcome rainstorms - pass.In this guided practice, I share a quick way to settle into a state of calm, and to identify any emotions that may want your attention. When you listen to your emotions, you learn where your work lies in adapting to the changes ahead.Bonus: Journaling Prompt for EmotionsAt the end of this sixteen minute practice I share a writing prompt you can use to explore any emotions that may want attention.. Or you can simply listen to the guided yoga nidra practice without the emotional journaling prompt.I hope you enjoy it!
