Guided Meditation
Guided meditation has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus, and increase mental resilience. We're pleased to offer a series of guided meditations, inspired by the museum and its surroundings, in partnership with Taos Yoga Retreat. Recorded by longtime meditation and yoga instructor Ceily Levy, the first in this series focuses on a beautiful image of the museum gardens.
May this practice help your body, mind and spirit feel at ease.

Welcome to our first guided meditation practice, inspired by the beauty of the summer garden at the Taos Art Museum at Fechin House. Please have the image of the garden available during this practice.
To begin seated meditation practice there is a process of arriving and centering. With awareness and kindness toward your body and mind choose a sitting posture that feels comfortable. You may sit on the earth using cushions or blankets for support or you may sit in a chair with your feet resting on the floor.
Two important elements underlie the elegant alignment of spinal position and energy : elongation and balance. The spine is centered into a structurally sound line maintaining its natural curves with the weight of the body distributed around it. This posture creates a balanced pattern in which gravity, and not muscular tension, is the primary influence. The internal architecture provides structure and stability upon which the softness of the body can relax and encourages an expansive inner landscape and view. You are seated with steadiness and ease simultaneously.
If you experience discomfort due to a condition, constraint or the length of time in the posture simply modify as necessary, or use props such as pillows or blankets to help achieve comfort.
