No matter how much you fidget, there’s a way to relax. This meditation practice stills and quiets your mind by bringing your attention to your hands. To find calm, allow your breath to flow naturally as you attune your concentration to the subtle movement and positioning of your palms.

Hand Dance Meditation refocuses the mind, directing it towards the peace and joy found through meditation, without the pain and discomfort from relaxation-induced anxiety. This practice can be used to help prepare the body for a Yoga Nidra practice.
