Sharpen your senses. Peak your perception. Build climbing instinct and adaptability off the wall from the inside out, so that you can climb your hardest on the wall. 

My name is Crystal, and welcome back to Attention Climbers. 

Whispered whilst crouching at the dining room table and staring at adorably sleeping little Oskar 😽 - this rest-day guided meditation is for you AND your animal friend - cat, dog, hamster, plush or otherwise. 

Do not be fooled by its soft, innocent, lazy label! This experience activates the parasympathetic "rest and digest" system that helps you recover for your next hard session, connect with yourself and your furry loved one, and importantly - strengthens visual and body awareness skills that help you make crisper contact with climbs. 

Remember - your body is a symphony of systems - and some systems can only be trained at their limit if you are NOT at your physical or psychological limit. :) 

All meditations, including this one, are live, improvised sessions that I record in a single "flash" go and participate in myself. Each episode emerges in a unique moment where I need a relaxed but active meditation for immediate stress reduction, AND wanted to ingrain rock-solid climbing instincts. This is where climbing performance and mind-body health - intersect. 

Designed for any climber, at any point on your journey, to listen to and follow along with anytime and anywhere you feel safe to relax and be in your body. 

Rest day? Check. 
Injured but want to still be climbing"? Check. 
Pre-climb tune-in? Check. 
Mid-session rest-and mental reset? Check. 
Post-climb cool down? Check. 
Stressy, messy, pressy life moments where you'd rather be climbing? CHECK! 
 
Having a body, a mind, and an attentive state of presence - are all you need. 

As always, climb well, be well, and thanks for listening!
