Guided meditation for the Creators/pregnant humans
Pregnancy can be an incredible life changing experience full of ups and downs, and never the same again.
I know mine was very different both times, and while the hypnotherapy meditations helped, it wasn't something I could buy into after my first experience. This is a guided meditation I made for a loved one who was experiencing some challenges in the beginning, and has offered to share this with all the human creators out there that are serving as portals from the divine to earth.
Enjoy! and let me know what you think at mindfulwe.life@gmail.com

Most people only know about the postures or Asanas when it comes to Yoga, and some know about Chakras and Pranayama, but even less know about Kriyas, Bandhas, and Mudras. Here, you will get an introduction to some of the other lesser known parts of yoga. Still valuable but a lot harder to perform which is probably the reason most people do not know about it. Nonetheless, I believe awareness is power. So listen up and let me know your thoughts.

Flowing leaves meditation
Have you ever felt like your mind/thoughts were going to drive you crazy?
We have thousands of thoughts in a day, and when we don't have control of them, it can easily get overwhelming. Meditation has never been about getting rid of your thoughts because thats our brains expertise. Meditation is about observing our thoughts nonjudgmentally. This 10 minute mediation helps you watch your thoughts, and not get consumed by them.
May we watch our thoughts with ease.
Body Scan with Music
Body Scan can be a challenging yet powerful mediation! Practicing the body scan allows you to tune in and tap into what needs to be released/relaxed. Accepting and letting go to free up more space for energy flow with ease. A wonderful way to practice loving yourself and body.
Settling into safety
It's only normal for folks that have been in unsafe situations for a long period of time to have some challenges settling into their new safe space. Once you are in a completely safe place, this may be a good guided meditation for you.
Body Scan Meditation (no music)
This physical body that holds and protects our emotional and mental being – our soul.
Just as our soul is filled with abundant knowledge and wisdom, so is our body. Have you ever stopped to pay attention to what it has to offer or tell you?
I usually recommend the body scan to clients, so they can increase awareness of their body sensations. On a daily basis, people are so preoccupied in the mind with their “to-do” checklist that they are not aware of how their body is reacting to everything.
For example, I know for myself when I was in university and writing an essay or report, and at that time hated writing, my shoulders would somehow end up by my ears. If you try this for yourself right now, you know this is not a relaxing posture!
I had no idea my shoulders were going up while I was writing. I was completely mindless of this happening within my body because I was so pre-occupied in my mind. Our body is constantly responding to external and internal cues all the time.
The body scan is a great way to tune in, and increase body awareness which has the potential for so many wonderful benefits (ex. reduce stress and anxiety, decrease physical pain, and better sleep). Going back to my shoulder example, when I started to become aware of my shoulders and then intentionally release them, I felt relief. I felt a reduction in my own anxiety in that moment. When you get a message from your body, and listen and tend to its needs, your aligning your internal soul and external body. You become in sync with yourself.
Could you imagine the feeling and possibilities when you’re in-sync with your soul-mate?

Mountain Meditation
Guided Meditation on Worthiness, with Bilateral stimulation!
*Please note* While I am incredibly excited for this addition, and for most people the experience is going to be relaxing, and perfectly safe. It is a direct sensory stimulation of the nervous system, so I do not recommend this for folks that are hypersensitive to sensory stimuli (ex. Acquired brain injury, migraine sufferers, complex PTSD, DID).
Enjoy the experience!
