The saying goes "Expectation leads to disappointment, which leads to suffering". Yes but how do we deal with those feelings? How do we push past those complicated emotions because it is hard to go through life without becoming attached to the things we care about most? Breath, my friend. It is through the breath.

Any time we decide to do something that will make us healthier, happier, more authentic, so often, we are met with resistance. That resistance manifests in many different ways. Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the resistance that is getting in our way so we can push past it and transcend our former selves.

Pushing Past Resistance - Meditation

The way the world is going these days, it is very easy to forget where we are and that we are right here and right now. This meditation uses the mantra So Hum (I AM) to remind us that we are real, we are here, and we are now.

I Am - Meditation

In this relaxing meditation, we slow things way down with a full body scan. We will use our breath to focus our energy and attention on specific areas of the body, tuning in to them one by one, relaxing each area as we move our way through the body. As we follow our breath in and out, we find a way in to the only true moment, the present. This meditation is intended to help you unwind at the end of a busy day or even just to take a few moments to invite some peace and stillness into your day.

Breath and Body Scan - 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. But we very often forget the other side of possibility. All the good things that could happen. Good or bad, neither are true, unless we say so. This meditation hopes to help remind us that we have the universe inside of us and to ask the question how much better could things get? One breath at a time.

You Are The Universe - Meditation

When we are feeling low, our vibrations are low. Those feelings of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, boredom are all sucking our energy and keeping us vibrating at a lower level. All while disconnecting us from the present moment. Connecting to the present, raises our vibration. We start to feel joy, gratitude, inspired, optimistic, and enthusiastic for what is to come. The present moment is there, always singing in a perfect pitch, waiting for us to tune in to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator practice that connection with the present moment so we can be more in unison with our life. One breath at a time.
