When we focus on a task or have a reaction we orient ourselves to what is happening in order to perform or react to the situation. As part of focus or reaction we tighten our muscles as if we were to run a race or have adrenaline kick in. Reorienting is a process of being mindful of your surroundings, bringing yourself back into this present moment. In this Reorientation Meditation I highlight the sense of vision - using your eyes and gaze to take in all that is around you. The other tool in this meditation is your breath and how you connect and release the tension you are holding in your muscles.
Enjoy this brief moment to relax and put another technique in your relaxation tool kit. Abbey Parker, LMHC
