52: Meditation for Self-Study

52: Meditation for Self-Study

Who am I? What do I believe? What is it like for me to feel, think, and act? Do my actions align with my values?

We can begin answering these questions when we take time to be present with the Self. You are not your thoughts. You are the thinker of your thoughts. You are not your feelings. You are the one who feels. 

Join me for today's meditation on tuning into your inner world and exploring what it is like to be you today.

Book mentioned: Yamas & Niyamas by Deborah Adele.

46: Nonattachment

46: Nonattachment

Nonattachment: letting go of the clinging to something or someone NOT the letting go of the enjoyment of something or someone.

Nonattachment is about enjoying the present moment. We often find ourselves clinging to the past of something we once had or the hope of having something in the future.

Experience joy, peace, and freedom by being fully present in this very moment. 

Today's meditation offers a talk on nonattachment, followed by a meditation.

41: Difficult Emotions - Depression

Difficult emotions can be extremely overwhelming. We often try to avoid, ignore, repress, or even numb so that we don't have to feel. Our emotions have so much wisdom and insight into how we view and experience the world. Over the next few weeks we will be diving into meditations on difficult emotions. This week we start off we feelings around depression: sadness, emptiness, lack of motivation, etc. This meditation invites the listener to turn toward the emotions with a compassionate, empathetic ear in order to increase self-awareness and show love to the parts of our selves that experience these difficult feelings.

32: The Distracting Mind - A Noting Meditation

32: The Distracting Mind - A Noting Meditation

Meditation is difficult, especially if you've never practiced before. There is a sense of wrestling with the mind to stay focused and present. The mind wanders off and gets distracted. In today's meditation you will learn a technique called noting, inviting a sense of separation between you and your thoughts/feelings. Join me today for a simple guided meditation on an intro to noting, helping you to tame the distracted mind.

31: Mountain Hike Meditation

31: Mountain Hike Meditation

I like that a hike up a mountain can mirror our experiences through life - we pick a path, and we begin moving. Sometimes the path is easy, other times it is strenuous and difficult. We get to decide to enjoy the journey - the views, the challenges, the rests. Or we get to decide to be miserable throughout it.⁠

Either way, you keep moving. Eventually you arrive at the top where you take in a magnificent view of the world beneath you and the hike becomes well worth it.⁠

Join me for today's guided meditation as you visualize hiking up a mountain - enjoying the journey and the destination.⁠

25: Living with Integrity

25: Living with Integrity

Living with integrity can be extremely challenging. It requires us to be who we claim to be. Sometimes when we are faced with judgement or potential rejection, we bend the truth, or say yes when we mean no. Living with integrity requires us to be honest and truthful with ourselves and others. Sometimes this means facing hurtful feelings or difficult conversations.

In today's episode, I invite you to journal or reflect on what integrity and authenticity  mean to you. How can you live life honestly and authentically?

23: Diaphragmatic Breathing (Deep Breathing)

23: Diaphragmatic Breathing (Deep Breathing)

We are capable of breathing in 6 directions: back & front, side to side, and up & down. Breathing this way reduces stress and anxiety while increasing immune system function and mental clarity. Imagine how different our world could be if every person practiced breathing deeply for just 90 seconds a day. In today's episode I cover diaphragmatic breathing along with a guided exercise  to breathing in 6 directions.

22: Self-Love Meditation

Today's meditation we take a look at 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. It is important to note that 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 is different than 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦. Just because you are showing kindness towards yourself dos not pretending to like yourself if you don't (that's a whole different topic). The journey of loving yourself can be very challenging, and will look different for everyone.⁠

Today's episode I share one of my personal favorite ways to show compassion, kindness, and love to myself. I hope you enjoy it as well.

21: Finding Balance

21: Finding Balance

What does it mean to live a balanced life? Between work, sleep, friends, family, rest, etc., life can feel overwhelming, complicated, and out of balance. We each have a unique sense of what a balanced life looks like. Some people find their center with more social events and some people find their center with more time outdoors. In today's episode, we talk about a balanced life. I invite you journal or reflect during today's exercise on what a balanced life looks like for you, and the changes you may begin to implement today to find your center.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to be afraid without being paralyzed."
There is a difference between fear that keeps us alive and fear that keeps us from living. In today's meditation, we are focusing on honing our courage: the part of us that moves forward with bravery and boldness in order to face the fears that keep us from living.

18: Anxiety Part 4 - Anticipatory Anxiety

18: Anxiety Part 4 - Anticipatory Anxiety

Anticipatory Anxiety occurs when we begin to feel stress, worry, or fear about something that hasn't happened yet. Often this worry comes from a future event - a social gathering, an upcoming speech, or maybe a project at work. The event is 2 weeks away but you're already beginning to feel the stress.

Join me for today's episode to approach anticipatory anxiety in a new way, providing a little more clarity, and a little less stress.

14: The Anxious Self

14: The Anxious Self

As humans we experience some level of anxiety - fear, worry, stress. Anxiety can be extremely overwhelming, so we often find ourselves trying to avoid it. We try to not think about it or find ways to distract ourselves from. Doing this however, increases anxiety. We even become anxious about being anxious.

Over the next 5 weeks I will be inviting you to meditate on anxiety. For this first meditation, we will identify the anxious self, or the part of you that experiences anxiety. Creating separation from your core self and your anxious self allows you to be present with anxiety in a calm, loving manner.⁠

13: The Core Self

13: The Core Self

"Who am I?" You may find yourself asking this question and coming up with many different answers. The answers come from the many layers within our Self. There is the self that seeks to protect, the self that seeks to avoid, the self that seeks to soothe. Internal Family Systems Theory (IFS) explains that we have many "parts" to our Self. A part is every experience that we have: every thought, every feeling, every sensation, every urge, etc. These parts are broken down into three categories. Beneath all these parts lies the Core Self. 

Join me for today's talk & meditation where I dive into these three categories, followed by a meditation on the Core Self. Grab a notebook and a pen if you like to journal as you begin to explore some thoughts on your Core Self.

10: A Meditation on Waiting

10: A Meditation on Waiting

How often are you standing in line at the grocery store, desiring for the line to move faster so you can go home and move on to the next thing? Or stuck in traffic, frustrated? How often do you desire to be away from the here and now?
This meditation offers a way to practice being present and training the mind to be in the Now rather than drifting off to the future. Training the mind to be present helps reduce anxiety and depression and increase peace and joy.

“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”
-Eckhart Tolle

5: Gratitude for Mothers

5: Gratitude for Mothers

Happy Mother's Day! 

In this meditation we will be meditating with a sense of gratitude on mother, or a mother, your mother, perhaps the mother within you, or even for all mothers. For many people mother's day can be challenging for a number of reasons, so if you decide to do today's meditation, we are focusing on a sense of gratitude. I will encourage you to take a moment before starting to decide who you want to reflect a sense of gratitude for. This may be a time for you to meditate on your own mother, but may it is the mother within you. Maybe it's a woman who has been like a mother to you, perhaps a fellow friend who is a mother, or maybe you meditate on the Divine qualities of motherhood.

3: Staying Present through your Senses Meditation

3: Staying Present through your Senses Meditation

Have you ever been spending time with someone and they point something out in your environment while asking, "did you see that?" And you realize that if they did not point it out, you would never have noticed. You're busy day-dreaming about your to-do list or what you're making for dinner tomorrow. Sometimes our schedules become overwhelming and we are spread too thin. We are rushing around from one thing to another that we completely miss the here and now.
Tune in for this short meditation to stay present.
