Sun Shield: Fill Your Body & Heart with Protective Light
For The Masculine : Practices • 17m
The ancients used to think of the sun as a powerful protective force. If you are struggling with anxiety, fear, or self-doubt, you can breathe the sun deep into your heart, allowing it to wash away tension and leave you wrapped in warmth, healing, and protection.
In this 17-minute practice from the 2022 Embodied Men’s Leadership Training, John guides you through a brief exercise to wake up the body, followed by a visualization and simple mantras that will vibrate your cells and fill them with golden light.
If you are experiencing tension, stress, uncertainty, low energy, or a lack of nourishment, this practice will melt away looping thoughts, open your body-mind to the ever-present support of nature, and leave your subtle body energized and protected.
Who this practice is for:
This practice is not gender specific and can be done by practitioners at all levels.
Practice setup:
You’ll start this practice standing with your feet hip-width apart. Begin to twist from your feet, allowing your arms to hang loose so they begin to slap against your body as you twist.
Reminder:
If you have a question about this practice or any of the content in the Virtual Workshop, we highly encourage you to bring it to John during one of our monthly Office Hours calls that are included with your membership.
