Day 14 | RAIN | Waxing Gibbous | Mindfulness with the Moon

This is day fourteen of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

Today, we will explore the somatic technique RAIN to work through difficult emotions. RAIN as an acronym that stands for :

• Recognize what is happening;
• Allow the experience to be there, just as it is;
• Investigate with interest and care;
• Nurture with self-compassion.

Rain was first founded by Michele McDonald and then it was shared with me personally by Tara Brach. It is an honor to share their teachings as we practice RAIN together with a 20 minute meditation at the end to practice.
