Self-Care Tip: Standing Meditation with a Partner
/With a partner:
Stand side-by-side and stretch your arms out wide making sure your fingertips don鈥檛 touch your partner鈥檚.
If too close, step away from each other so that your fingertips are at least 6 inches apart.
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms out to your sides, palms facing forward.
Breathe in, lengthen your spine, and pull the crown of your head towards the ceiling.
Breathe out, soften your shoulders down and away from your ears.
Breathe in, stand tall, raise the crown of your head as if pulled by a string.
Breathe out, relax your shoulders away from your ears. Repeat for a total of 5 inhales/exhales.
Raise your arms again and check that your fingers are at least 6 inches from your partner鈥檚.
Congratulate yourself on taking this moment to relax, and for the practice of healthy 鈥渟ocial distancing.鈥
