This gentle relaxation practice supports your sense of wholeness and helps you taste the fullness at the core of your being. When you are in touch with your true essence, you no longer reach for that which can never fill you. Your soul is vast, radiant, and lacks nothing. Give up bottomless cravings and let yourself taste the splendor at the core of your being. Once you see the fullness within, you can never un-see it.

Meditation helps you to center and ground yourself so that you can respond to challenges in your life and in the world with wise action. Based on the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tonglen as taught by Pema Chödrön, this meditation guides you in channeling the healing energy of your heart to those suffering in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.

Relax into the mysterious words of Albert Einstein, the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi & the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart, as well as Adyashanti and Jesus Christ. Simply listen and see what their insights evoke in you. The Buddhist notion of the universe as illusory is often misunderstood. Quantum physics tells us the physical world exists simultaneously as particle and wave. Matter and energy. Form and spirit. You are both at once. Close your eyes, listen and experience your true nature.

Our brains are wired to be  Teflon for the good and Velcro for the bad, says psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson, which can lead us into sinkholes of depression and anxiety. But you can rewire that programming by cultivating sympathetic joy for others and savoring your own happy moments. This meditation, inspired by THE ATTENTION REVOLUTION by Alan Wallace, trains your mind to be limber to change and your heart to be open to joy.

This guided visualization invites you to experience the presence of your deceased loved one, to drink deep their love, and express whatever you wish to express to them. Grief carves out our hearts, making them bigger vessels for love. May this meditation fill your heart with balm and offer you solace.

This compassion practice offers support to help reorient you at times when you feel your life is not as you wanted or you are not as you hoped. When we can cut through our projections and negative self-talk to be radically present to our hearts, we are more able to take wise and constructive action to respond to the moment at hand. This practice is indirectly inspired by one of my meditation teachers, the wonderful Tara Brach.

Take a few minutes to drop deeply into your life as if you were visiting yourself from a higher perspective. This guided visualization invites you to see yourself within the wider context of the living, breathing planet. It encourages you to sense your connection to the landscape, to other human beings, and to the scared heart that connects us all. This meditation is indirectly inspired by one of my meditation teachers, the wonderful Jack Kornfield. Relax and enjoy.

It's our reflex to contract around pain, physical or emotional, but when the contraction persists it hampers healing. Beauty has the opposite effect. When you allow it in, it opens your mind and expands your heart. This simple technique invites you to breathe in beauty, marinate it in your heartspace, and exhale it out to whatever part of you feels contracted or in pain. May this meditation soothe your suffering.
