There is no right way to meditate, there's no way to mess it up, nor is there a way to become an expert at it. Meditation is simply the practice of showing up, connecting to the breath, and noticing whatever we're experiencing physically, emotionally, or mentally without judgment. It's normal for your mind to wander, even if it's every other second. Try to let go of any goals that you bring to your meditation practice and see if you can simply connect with your breath, over and over again.

Busyness is a state of being that we are trained to operate within. Staying busy can be an addiction, and it can be so engrained that it's hard to know how to operate any other way. Taking 10 minutes within a busy day to pause, notice how busy feels in the body, and connect to the breath is one way to cut through what feels like an unending stream of to-dos. I hope you can let yourself unwind for a moment in this meditation.

In this guided meditation we relax into the body and into the breath before opening up to life exactly as it is in this moment. Befriending life is as simple as releasing our resistance and resting in the present moment. Poem is by Danna Faulds.

Body scan meditations are great for moving out of a busy mind into the body. By moving awareness through the body, you begin to fully inhabit your body and release tension. Body scan meditations can be supportive before bed to help with falling asleep, too.

A quarter life crisis is a period typically in your 20's-mid 30s where life feels confusing AF, particularly because what you've been told you should want or who you should be conflicts with what you actually want. Or, maybe you don't know who you are or what you want at all and that can feel particularly confusing and scary. This is the nature of the quarter life crisis, and it's completely normal.

Enjoy this 13 minute guided meditation to help you relax and allow love in. Sometimes all we need is the validation, or the reminder, that we are truly loved by others, by this world, and especially by ourselves. I recorded this with the intention of helping you direct love toward yourself. XO

Like seeds, we are born with the knowledge embedded within us to grow into the potential we contain within. We arrive on this earth with purpose, and it's our duty to understand this purpose and create a supportive internal and external environment for ourselves so that we can live it out.

Enjoy this 5 minute guided meditation to return back to your breath, yourself, and this moment.

Sometimes our desire to “make the most of our lives” keeps us living on the surface of what life has to offer. We move from one thing to the next without truly experiencing the depth of what each thing actually has to offer.

What if a meaningful life has nothing to do with the width (the timeline) of your life but everything to do with the depth of it?

What would it look like to fall into the depth of your life?

To skip the introduction that explains what Yoga Nidra is, skip ahead to 3:35.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient yogic practice. It's a form of guided meditation also referred to as “yogic sleep” and is intended to bring about total physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. Yoga Nidra takes you to a state of mind in between wakefulness and dreaming.

Yoga Nidra starts and ends with your own Sankalpa, or an intention that you set for yourself. Before we begin, create a sankalpa for yourself. This is a short statement that reflects a heartfelt desire to bring about positive change in your life. Make it feel true for you. What is it that you desire in the deepest part of you? Create a one sentence phrase with this desire that's state in the present moment. For example: I am at peace. The meditation will guide you at the right time to state your resolve to yourself.

Enjoy, and let yourself surrender.
