Heart Breath Meditation

Led by Rachel Petri

This practice uses the breath to create awareness, presence, and healing. Our heart holds so much wisdom and compassion and has an innate healing nature. In this meditation we will progressively build our breath to connect to the space of the heart, to find gratitude, and in turn, find a greater connection to self and those around us. Allow as many breath cycles as you’d like for each part of the body.
