Mindful Observer - Meditation

Our days are full of chaos. We are pulled in a million different directions at all times. If we are not careful, we can very easily find ourselves overworked, exhausted, burned out, and completely over "it" but if we cultivate mindfulness and try to see everything as an opportunity to practice mindfulness, then we can begin to see all the distractions and chaos in a different light. We can begin to see things as challenges, not nuisances. We can see them as ways to improve and be more present no...

Listening to the Silence - Meditation

It's impossible to be still and worried at the same time. It's impossible to listen while talking. It's impossible to be calm while everything inside of you is buzzing with worry, doubt, fear, anger, rage, so on and so forth. This meditation aims to help recenter the meditator into the moment by encouraging stillness while listening to the silence. To listen to the silence you need to be still, inside and out. One breath at a time.

Noises and distractions only serve to help us practice being more present with ourselves. One breath at a time.

Heart and Breath - Meditation

When meditating, we often concentrate on our breathing and when we get into that routine, we can sometimes forget that following your breath is really just one way to meditate. There are many other ways and when we change it up, very often we see things differently so much so that when we come back to our old ways of doing things, we can actually see them again, as if it is the first time, with a brand new perspective. This meditation hopes to help the meditator get to that place of seeing thing...

You Are The Observer - Meditation

Those feelings over worry, fear, anxiety, stress, depression we all have canbe so overwhelming. We can forget they are temporary. They ebb and flow. But we can also forget that those feelings, while being real and true...they are not us. They do not define us. They are not who we are. We are the one who notices those feelings and emotions and reminding ourselves that can be a way to help move through them.

Breaking Through Barriers - Meditation

Breaking Through Barriers - Meditation We get so focused on the big goal that it is very easy to lose sight of all the little achievements we accomplish on the way.

This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that a goal is full of little goals along the way just as a day is gull of minutes, hours, seconds which is why we practice tak...

Stillness - Meditation

The day is full. Times are tough. It is very easy to remember that the thing we seek, is inside of us...it's just burried beneath alll the heavier parts, drowned out by all the noiser parts of our life.

One breath at a time.

Flow Thinking - Meditation

We pile so much on ourselves throughout our life and run so many filters at every moment of the day that it is very easy to lose sight of the truth, our true selves. This meditation is a variation on the Flow Writing ecersize, where you sit down to write, uninterrupted for a set time. The pen doesn't stop moving, no matter what. The variation is that we will do this as a pure though exersize. Using the prompt "what are you pretending not to know?" and just see where your mind takes you. One brea...

Showing Up For Yourself - Meditation

They say the hardest part is showing up. It may not seem like it because many times what we have to show up for is hard or unpleasant or stressful but the discipline required to show up for difficult things is huge. It does require epic discipline to show up to do the things that hard hard. Once you decide to do it, the rest is worth it. But discipline takes mindfulness. It requires us to be able to take a step back and understand that this may be hard but I will feel so much better after I've a...

Future Self - Meditation

We get stuck in moments of being upset, let down, depression, anxiety and in those moments we start to think of our current situation as just how we are or "this is just who I am" and we get used to seeing ourselves that way and forget that may be true now but doesn't have to be true in the future. Visualizing our future can be a powerful way to see another version of ourselves that may be true now but can be true tomorrow. How do you see your future self? What are they telling you about yoursel...

Practicing Life - Meditation

Often times we place so much pressure on ourselves to achieve the goal, whatever it may be, that we for get that one step forward is better than no steps forward. There is no such thing as failure, unless you quit. Everything in life is practice. Athletes practice to compete and then consider the competition practice for the next competition. Thinking this way can actually bleed over into life as well. Everything we do is just practice for life. Persistence, dedication, discipline, learning to d...

You Are The Universe - Meditation

We spend most of our lives afraid. We spend most of our lives worrying about what has been or what could be. We spend our life thinking about all the bad things that are possible.

Plan B - Meditation

Plan B - Meditation Life doesn't always go to plan. In fact, life rarely seems to go to plan.

Riding The Waves - Meditation

In the ebb and flow of life, it can be difficult to remind ourselves that the ups and downs are what define us. They create us. Good, bad, ugly. We are who we are because of all the things that have happened in our life. With perspective, we can always look back and be thankful for everything because we are who we are because of them. In the moment, it's not quite as easy. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator to take a moment and ride the wave of life, one breath at a time.

Getting Back on Track - Meditation

In our daily lives it can be very easy to put insurmountable amounts of pressure on ourselves to achieve, achieve, achieve and lose sight of the importance of little victories.

Fill Yourself Up - Meditation

Reprogramming Unconscious Thoughts - Meditation

Years and years of negative thought patterns have programmed our mind to think a certain way and eventually it just becomes our personality, how we see the world. If we want to reprogram our minds to think a different way, first we must notice them and have the presence of mind to stop ourselves when we slip into those patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts. This meditation hopes to help the meditator do just that by focusing, as always, on our breath. One breath at a time.
