Improve how you move!


Description

Mindfulness doesn't always start in your head. Awake Naps are movement meditations that are based upon the Feldenkrais Method® of mind body learning. They use simple and gentle movement sequences as the means to quiet and focus your thoughts. The program was designed with a wide audience in mind, including children, teens, adults, and seniors. They can be used by anyone who wants to learn to meditate, or who has struggled with more traditional methods of meditation.

 

Awake Naps is Available Here


Album includes four audio lessons and an introduction. Total running time: 19.7 minutes. Running time for lessons is between 3 and 5 minutes each. They can be used individually for a quick wellness break, or in sequence for a more extended meditation session.

Produced and published by Kinesthetic Edge. Written and narrated by Andrea Higgins. Recorded at Movimiento in Boston, MA. Album cover art used under license by Shutterstock: ©CartoonGalleria.

Exciting News!

Our newest album, Awake Naps, is now available in iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play, Gumroad, and Nimbit. Although people of all ages have been using and enjoying this program, it was originally created as part of a wellness program for teenage girls. We would like to reach this age group in order to help them develop healthy stress management strategies at a young age.

If you know of a young person who might benefit from this program, please consider giving it to them as a gift through your preferred music store. But first, try a lesson for yourself. If you have about 10 minutes to spare, watch the short video assessments before and after listening to "Right Shoulder Up." This will help you to better understand how Awake Naps uses movement instead of a mantra to quiet the mind.

 

This is a simple self-assessment that you can use to evaluate how quickly you can quiet your mind, and how long you can remain in a state of present moment awareness. If you find that you are drowning in thoughts, or are feeling stressed, spend a few moments meditating. Afterwards, try the self-assessment once again to see if there has been a change. This works with any mediation technique. Enjoy and share!
