Hello, friends.

The day is winding down (perhaps your week is too) and today’s offering is a little chance to relax.

Whatever your day has held, I hope you’re able to let it drop away for these few minutes and really be with the breath and body.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello, friends. How are you?

Welcome to September. I’m so happy we’re here together.

Today’s meditation is holding this idea of beginning again along with our intentions for the month. Perhaps more meditation is your intention. Perhaps finding more presence in the every day. Maybe it’s something entirely different.

However you approach today’s meditation, we’re staying with the breath, letting our intentions hold in the background, and practicing this incredible act of beginning again with each breath.

Thank you for being here, friends. 💗 Take care.

✨ If part of your intention for September is getting deeper into meditation, I hope you’ll consider a little mindfulness guidance. https://www.makespacemeditation.com/guidance

Hello and good morning, friends.

Before anything else, I want to say that I am deeply grateful for to the daily subscribers who have been so understanding while I took a couple of days away this week following the passing of my beloved cat, Maus. It makes a big difference to be able to step away.

To ease back into our regular schedule, today’s offering is one of our shorter breath breaks. Let’s take a couple of minutes to just breathe and be to end the week.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello and good morning, friends.

I know on a Monday morning you might be like “slowing down? No… I gotta go!” And if that’s the case, I hope you will especially take these ten minutes to be with the breath today.

It’s one of my favorite things to be reminded to notice how you’re holding the coffee mug or to take a look at the sky. You may indeed be running late or feel like there’s a need to be quick about something, but even in that can part of you feel steady in the rush? Let’s see what a bit of breath brings to the day.

Thank you for being here, friends. 💗 Take care.

Hello and good morning, friends. How are you?

Sometimes I find myself believing that I know something. I know what comes next or I know what this person is going to do or I know what the day is going to be like. Then it turns out I don’t know anything and things have gone awry. Have you had this experience of thinking that you know?

Today, we’re working with expectations and letting them go. It’s not an easy thing. It seems like the world around us really pushes us to know. We should have an opinion on everything and an idea of how things “should” be.

What if we did let some of our expectations go and allowed the moment to unfold? Not in a way that means inaction, but a way that allows for openness. This is what we’re holding a bit of this today in our meditation.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

✨ This weekend has limited availability for sessions, but I still hope to see you. Times are available for whatever might be calling to you: reiki, mindfulness, support.

Hello and good morning, friends.

I’m thinking a lot today about the changing times we’re in and the shifts of late summer. Maybe you’ve got your own things happening that are leaving you feeling a little ungrounded. Maybe the world feels a little ungrounded. Whether you’re feeling a little of that or not, finding a kind of steadiness at any point in the day I think feels nice.

Today, that’s what we’re holding in our practice: finding a little steadiness, finding that still point in the breath that can act as an anchor. You can take that anchor, that feeling of steadiness out of meditation with you and into the day, coming back to it whenever you might need, if you do.

Thank you for being here, friends. 💗 Take care.

✨Times available this week for reiki, mindfulness, and support sessions, both online and in person. I hope to see you. https://makespacemeditation.as.me/

Hello and good morning, friends.

While I was thinking about what to share with you this morning, the idea that kept coming up was just how special it is that you’re here, that we’re all here.

It is a radical act to even attempt to be really here with what is in this moment. There are so many things that take us away from ourselves, from each other. Meditation is a path back, I think, back from the scrolling and the busybusybusy of life. Finding ourselves with the breath and the openness of the moment even for a brief time is really special.

So we’re holding this intention of being present today, present in the distraction and the focus, present with the breath and our wandering away. Nothing is pushed aside. The moment is right here always.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello hello hello.

Hello and good morning, friends.

We’ve made it here together to a brand new week. Folks I’ve been talking with lately have been bringing up this sense of transition and change. Summer is starting to wind down, kids are going back to school, there’s a shift in the air… And how do we greet those things?

Today’s practice is one of finding a little openness and possibility where we might otherwise have felt closed off.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello friends. How was your day?

For tonight’s meditation, I hope you will find your way to being as comfortable as you’re able. The name of the game this evening is rest and relaxation. You don’t have to have had a hard week or day to deserve a little rest.

However you might be arriving to tonight’s meditation, let’s find that quiet place to rest the body and the mind.

Thank you for spending a little time with the breath tonight. 💗 Take care.
