Meditation

Open Heart Project  Susan Piver’s Open Heart Project has two levels.  The beginner’s level is  one of the most amazing free resources on cultivating a meditation practice.  There is a fee for the practitioner’s level.

Dartmouth Health Services  This is a great collection of some meditation audio files.  From general breathing meditation to progressive muscle relaxation to guided visualization there is a little something for everyone.

UCLA Health System  Another nice collection of meditations to try.

8 Pieces of Brocade  This is just one interpretation of Qigong’s 8 Pieces of Brocade, a series of movements.  I took a qigong class several years ago and was introduced to the 8 Pieces and found it that it had a larger impact on me than the yoga classes I had tried.  I think it’s an individual preference.  There are several 8 Pieces videos on YouTube and some for sale.  If you try it and like it, it might be worth seeking out a qigong class in your town.
