The heart is our centre of magnetism, love, joy, and most importantly presence. When we live from the heart, we can only live in the present moment. To prepare for this Sound Activation, use your headphones and enjoy this track from a place where you can close your eyes and rest your body. Take three deep breaths in through your nose and exhale with a sigh out of your mouth, releasing any held muscles or places of tightness in your body with each exhale. While it isn't necessary to close your eyes and lay down, perhaps if you're driving or travelling somewhere, you listen again later when you can go deeper. Listen to the frequencies without judgement of any thoughts that arise, and be open to feeling your heart centre. Focus your breathing on the heart and enjoy the opening that comes. How to get in touch with Christina:Instagram: @christina_simoneLinkedIn: Christina BeischlTikTok: @barely_naked_podcastone77-consulting.com
