Daring to Rest: A Guided Relaxation Practice for Women to Calm Their Nervous System and Experience Deeper Sleep

Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you often feel overwhelmed, anxious or stressed?

Women often carry the mental & emotional load of others, and for decades! All that holding of our friends & family can be exhausting.

Hester invites you to tend to your exhaustion with a guided relaxation practice you can experience from the comfort of your own bed. First we lie down, then follow prompts for breath sensing, body sensing and guided imagery to reach a deep level of relaxation. It's okay if you fall asleep, you will still benefit. No experience or movement necessary.

The class sessions will be 60-90 minutes. Things you will need:

• A quiet place to lie down (such as your bed, couch, recliner)
• Pillows and blankets
• Something to cover your eyes such as a t-shirt or an eye pillow
• A journal & pen
• A small stone you can hold in the palm of your hand
