A slow mediative and mindful stretch practice to hold, release and soften. Blending stretching, breath and mindfulness, Stretch Meditation enables us to identify and release tension while gaining mobility and flexibility. An immersive sensory experience focusing on our muscles and fascia. A gentle mindful movement practice to practice solo or with a friend.

Stretching
Our stretch experience is about dropping into the body and becoming aware of the senses and how to explore tension. With heightened awareness we mindfully connect with our fascia and muscles and release physical, emotional and mental tension. Allowing us to soften and connect with our bodies in a nurturing and restorative way.

Breath
Bringing breathwork and breath awareness into our mindful stretching is a perfect way to regulate and re-sync the nervous system. The breath helps release all forms of tension and is a powerful anchor to the present moment and an essential way of connecting with ourselves. Through conscious breathing we shift the psychological and physiological states of our bodies and nervous system.

Mindfulness 
By mindfully observing our experiences, senses, thoughts, and emotions with openness and curiosity, and by practicing non-attachment and non-judgment, we can truly release tension and create space within ourselves and our bodies. With a meditative approach our mindful stretch practice allows us to drop further into our body and present moment.

Stretch Affirmation is a slow and contemplative mindfulness practice aimed at nurturing self-connection and reshaping our mindset through affirmations, while being seamlessly integrated into our essential stretching. This positive and nurturing experience encourages the repetition of affirmations, reinforcing wholesome, caring, and supportive beliefs rooted in self-love, acceptance, and kindness.

Through mindful affirmations, we directly communicate with our subconscious mind, influencing its patterns and beliefs.

Exploring the intersections of Buddhist philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Stretch Affirmation fosters a deep and mindful connection with the mind and body while releasing tension, engaging the senses, and transforming our mindset.

Buddhist teachings emphasise the significance of thoughts and mental habits in shaping our experiences and behaviours, underscoring the importance of cultivating wholesome mental states. Mindfulness allows us to challenge negative thinking patterns and break free from limiting beliefs.

In neuroscience, we understand that our thoughts and their repetitive nature strengthen neural pathways in our brains. Through regular practice, we explore the physical, mental, and emotional rewiring of our minds, mindfully aligning our thoughts with empowering beliefs and actions. Strengthening these pathways facilitates the mind's ability to return to positive statements and thinking patterns, reducing the automatic tendency towards negative thoughts.

This is a powerful mindfulness and affirmation practice because it not only works on changing our way of thinking, but we begin to change how our brains are wired, which in turn affects how we act and show up in the world. 

Work on your mindset with affirmation meditations

Our affirmation practices are guided by in the intersection of Buddhist philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. Given that our actions are conditioned and preceded by our thoughts, and that our perception of ourselves and the world shapes our reality, it is essential to cultivate kind, supportive, nurturing, and empowering patterns of thinking, beliefs, and personal commitments.

Think of your mind as a computer, and your thoughts are the program that runs it.

From a Buddhist perspective all thoughts don’t just disappear without a ripple in our internal or external worlds, they leave behind a 'karmic' charge. Mapping this into modern neuroscience we know that neurons the fire together, wire together, and that the repetitive nature of our thoughts, deepens and strengthens the neural pathways in the brain – so in many ways we become what we think. 

So we’ve created a practice and space where we can begin reframing the mind with affirmations that help rewire the brain and our belief systems.
