A Gentle Pause: Holiday Self-Care Mini Retreat

You’ve arrived at your moment to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
This self-paced mini retreat includes three simple practices to support your rest and reflection this season:

  1. Guided Meditation – Settle your energy and create space for stillness.

  2. Restorative Yoga Sequence – Gently release tension and soften into rest.

  3. Journaling Exercises (PDF) – Explore mindful reflection and intention setting.

There’s no set order — begin wherever you feel called.
You can return to these practices as often as you need to restore calm and reconnect with yourself through the holidays and beyond.

Take a deep breath, settle in, and enjoy your Gentle Pause.

 

A GENTLE PAUSE: GUIDED MEDITATION

Create a quiet, uncluttered space to be seated or rest laying down while you experience a chakra balancing and energetic protection guided meditation for the holiday season. Don’t worry, you don’t need to “do” anything. Simply rest and receive. Follow up with the Restorative Yoga Sequence or Journaling exercises.

A GENTLE PAUSE: Restorative Yoga Sequence

Put on something comfy, grab some pillow and props, and maybe add some soft music in the background as you prepare for a simple yet effective Restorative Yoga sequence to help you ground your energy and reconnect with your body and breathe. Feel free to linger in Savasana as long as you’d like or follow with the Guided Meditation or journaling exercises.

Journaling Self-Reflection PDF

Make a nice warm cup of tea or your favorite comfort drink, light a candle, and set aside some quiet space to self reflect. Sometime getting all those thoughts swirling in the head out on paper can be a significant relief and bring insight, clarity, and inner peace.
