Sometimes, we might feel like life is happening to us, instead of moving through us. Our sense of rhythm and balance is off and we don't feel like we're showing up as our "best self." We have lost our "centre".

We all know life isn't a steady reliable stream of anything. It's unpredictable, despite our best laid plans. As Jon Kabat-Zinn said:

 “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

In this meditation we’ll journey inward — to reconnect with our centre.

Because within each of us, there is a calm, steady point of awareness — always present. We just need to slow down and find it within ourselves. And it's there, regardless of what is going on around us.

When we are overwhelmed, it can feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Tasks, emotions, or situations pile up and there's simply too much on the go and we feel unable to manage or navigate through everything. 

It’s easy to become anxious, stressed, or disconnected from our own sense of peace when we are overwhelmed. This guided meditation is designed to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect with a place of calm. Through mindfulness, deep breathing, guided visualization and grounding techniques, you can release the tension that accompanies overwhelm and regain a sense of clarity and balance.

We all feel "stuck" sometimes. We have moments in life - whether it's in our careers, relationships or personal goals. Maybe you're caught in a job that no longer excites you, struggling to find direction in a creative project, or just feeling like you're spinning your wheels day after day. 

That feeling of frustration or resignation that comes when we can't find the way "through" to our "next" is what happens when we feel stuck. We've all been there.

In this meditation, we'll take a few minutes to tap into our ability to shift perspective within ourselves and see the possibilities that are always present.

Winter can be a challenge to navigate; the cold, dark days and less light picking up our spirits and warming us.  As the winter solstice (December 21) marks the shortest day/longest night of the year, it also marks a return, albeit gradual, to more light and more warmth.  This winter meditation is designed to help loosen the hold of a cold, dark season and tap into the light and warmth within.

SPOILER ALERT: You'll need a candle and a dark quiet room for this one, so prep in advance!

Whether it's a power nap before a big event, some extra zzz's after a sleepless night, an indulgent afternoon or a necessity for maintaining your energy levels, napping is a special kind of sleep. 

There are many benefits to a short nap and this meditation is intended to help you maximize the 20 or 30 minutes you have set aside to restore and refuel yourself.

So get comfy so we can power down to power up!

Spring is a time of new beginnings. 

We clear away the weight of the winter and feel lighter as warmer temperatures, longer days and more sunlight become the norm. 

From a literal shedding of winter layers to the more figurative imagery of nature in bloom, it's hard not to feel something shift within us when the seasons change.

This feeling can manifest in actions as well - spring cleaning - a clearing away of the clutter from seasons past to create space; of ridding ourselves of something we no longer need.

This guided visualization will take you on a journey to a paradise of your own creation. There you will venture safely to the waterfall where you will clear away that which no longer serves as you move into a season of new beginnings.

Everything starts with the breath.

Mindful breathing meditation  is a foundational practice that helps you train your awareness, reduce your stress response and cultivate calm.

Paying attention on purpose, in the present moment and without judgement; these are the ingredients of some really important work within ourselves. It may look passive , but sitting still with your eyes closed,  paying attention to your breath and noticing the physical sensations of breathing, is not passive at all. Becoming your own observer and cultivating an ability to focus and expand your observational capacity is some serious work with some equally serious benefits.

In this guided session we explore breath and engage in a mindful breathing meditation. And by talking you through every step of the way, make accessible what can otherwise be a challenging practice.

Waiting is a natural part of life and yet at times the impact of waiting can feel more acute than usual.

We may be waiting to receive a phone call or an email, important news or results. Maybe we are waiting for a traffic light to change when we're in a hurry, waiting our turn in a long line, or for a bus to arrive or to board a plane and take off.  There are countless scenarios of waiting and the act of waiting can create stress for many of us. 

This is a meditation to help us find our own inner calm and peace in the act of waiting.

Self-love is about accepting all of us - even the parts of ourselves that we don’t always like: It’s about treating ourselves with kindness and respect even when things are not going well.

This doesn’t mean that you have to always feel good about yourself.  It can mean that when you are feeling down, angry, or disappointed, that the home base to which you return is a place of love and support.  

This guided meditation will dial up your self-compassion and our kinder inner voice.
