Returning Over and Over (S4E4)
One of the most common misconceptions I come across as a meditation teacher is the belief that you need to be able to empty your mind or stop it from wandering in order to meditate. The practice of meditation is a continual returning from wherever your mind wanders to. This meditation focuses on that very fundamental part of every practice: Returning. Over and over.
Simply Settling (S4E3)
Some days we just feel a little bit wired and unsettled. This meditation is a simple yet effective tool for helping to settle the mind, the nerves, and the spirit. In the meditation, I use the visual of a snow globe all shaken up and slowly settling. Think of this as that but for your mind.
Felt Sense (S3E6)
How are you really right now? Is it possible to go beyond the label, or concept, or construct of sadness or joy and drop into the body? How does whatever you’re feeling manifest right now? Sensations are information! This meditation follows the thread of your experience back to an immediate awareness of what is felt in a moment. Over and over again.
Your Go To Meditation (S3E1)
One of the biggest barriers many people face when starting their meditation practice is the idea that they are inherently either “good” or “bad” at it. In reality, though, a lot of meditation is the practice of coming back over and over and over again. This 10-minute meditation, which is my "go-to" when I'm in a pinch, is a simple and yet effective practice that kindly reminds you to begin again and again. The good news is that this practice will always be there to welcome you back each time.
