And this meditation I will guide you to a deep place of stillness just like the depths of the ocean. By likening our thoughts to waves, we start to create separation between them and who We are.

Giving yourself care through physical touch promote self-love and compassion. Hands can give comfort and encouragement.

Mindfulness while speaking with others AIDS us in bringing awareness to what we're saying and how it may impact others.

When you're in the throes of an overwhelming emotion it can hook you completely. Mindfulness practices help you notice when this happens when you do notice you're feeling overwhelmed, you can use the awareness of the five senses to bring yourself back to the here and the now.

You may have woven mindfulness practice into your day but as soon as you lie down in bed, you notice the mind beginning to race. as you settle down for the evening the mind may not always read the situation accurately. With the stimuli of daily life over, the mind can seem louder than usual. This meditation practice can be used in the moments to help settle the mind and body as you prepare for sleep.

This meditation today we will be imagining our tree of knowledge aiding ourselves to gain insight and inspiration to our higher knowledge and wisdom.

Lying down visualizing a lake brings a softness and soothing ability for deep sleep. Knowing that an ever-changing lake while on the surface maybe choppy much like our minds, beneath the waves is a pool of great peace.

Less meditation practice we will use visualization of water and rivers to symbolizing our thought. This meditation practice is to help us develop a new relationship with whatever moves through the mind enhancing peace and promoting deep sleep.

This guided meditation will be a body scan that targets relaxing each part of our body eventually allowing us to come to arrested sleeping state.
