Hello and good morning, friends.

We’re spending time just simply being with what’s here today. We’re checking in, breathing, and allowing ourselves to be with what is, just as it shows up.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello and good morning, friends. How are you?

We’ve been spending some time this week with an idea of letting go, clearing the air, finding the exhale. I started out this morning with nothing going as planned, so if that’s you too maybe this particular is just for you. 💗

Hello, friends. Good morning. How are you?

We have made it to Monday once more. Today’s meditation is hopefully supportive to the start of your week, this new day. I know that especially on days like a traditional Monday, we’re often ready to rush off to whatever is on our list, but I hope you’ll take today’s meditation as an invitation to pause, connect to the breath, to maybe find a little ease before that rushing or whatever else your day might hold.

Thanks for being here, friends. 💗 Take care.

✨ If you’re looking for a little more space to explore quiet, to find some ease, or to bring care to where you need it, I hope to see you soon. Reiki, mindfulness, and support sessions are here for you.

Hello and good morning, friends. How are you?

Our time together today is focused on the quiet and stillness we find, even in the noise. It’s a little bit of holding both things, not one or the other. Whether there’s a lot of noise in or around you, there is the possibility of quiet also.

I always think of this quiet center that exists in each of us, that we can always go back to if we need it. It’s a place I want to live from more and more, a place where we aren’t reactionary, but thoughtful. It’s a place where we know that each moment and action matters, so we approach all things with care.

All of that in just a little quiet? Yes, I think so.

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

✨ Breath + Reiki sessions, Lovingkindness class, and other opportunities are here for you this weekend. I hope to see you!

Hello and good morning, friends. How are you?

Starting off a day, a week, a moment with the intention of finding the easy points always feels like a little bit of relief to me. As if the breath in these moments could guide us to a place where the tension in our bodies relaxes and we can go with the flow of what is here in this moment. I do think it can do that, even if for a moment.

I hope you’ll let this meditation be easy and light today.

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

Hello and good morning, friends. Happy Monday.

We started bringing in this sense of invitation last week with the idea of beginning a meditation practice or beginning again. We’ve moved through a couple of other invitations, all to help you explore the practice a little bit.

Today, we’re focused on slowing down. You might think about your day and the week ahead and think maybe there’s a lot to do or a feeling of being behind already. Whether you’re in that space or an entirely different one, I really hope that these ten minutes of breath and being still can help you slow down. And I hope this sense of slowing down brings in a little more presence and focus when you need it. I know for myself when I feel rushed or stressed or like there’s a lot going on, sometimes the best thing I can do is step back and breathe.

I hope it’s a good day, friends.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

✨ May’s classes really get going this coming weekend. Find a class or individual session that feels supportive: https://makespacemeditation.as.me/

Hello and good morning, friends.

We’re still in this place of meditation practice invitation. One of the things about meditation that can feel like opportunity or very much the opposite is when we get distracted. I know from my own experience how discouraging it can feel to find out just how loud or busy our minds can be. It doesn’t have to be a negative though.

The very act of beginning again with each distraction we discover is full of possibility. I really believe that. It’s the possibility to know ourselves and our minds a little better. It’s also an opportunity to be gentle with ourselves and let go of judgment. No matter how many times we find ourselves wandering away from focus, we can have this open place to start anew.

Often folks tell me that they’re “bad” at meditation because they can’t get their minds clear of thought. Your mind is going to work itself through. It’s what minds do. It’s our response to it, the willingness to begin again, that makes the difference. Slowly but surely, you’ll feel a shift in that busy/distracted mind.

I hope you’ll explore with me today and be gentle with yourself and your mind.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello and good morning, friends.

We’ve found this new month together and in it an invitation.

Whether your meditation practice has fallen away or perhaps you’ve never quite gotten around to really giving it a try, the beginning of the month is especially for you.

I hear often about how people want to meditate or have this sense that they “should.” In this invitation, there’s no shoulds or pushes or forcing. We’re not shoving ourselves down this path, dragging our feet. I mean, maybe we do need a little encouragement or discipline to stay with meditation, but this is true for many habits.

How many times did I try to stick with meditation before it really stuck? Many many many many many many many… (you get the idea) times. So many. One day, I took the invitation to begin again and it stuck. And here we are.

So I hope you’ll join me, accepting this invite from meditation to find more presence, calm, patience, and/or any number of things that might benefit your life and those around you too.

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

To take advantage of our theme of invitation, I hope you’ll join me as a daily subscriber. No one is turned away, so simply reach out if cost is an issue. No questions asked. https://makespacemeditation.substack.com/subscribe

✨ May offerings are ready for you! New and returning classes and new session availability are here for you this month. 💗 https://makespacemeditation.as.me/

Hello and good morning, friends.

We’re spending just a few minutes together to start our week. If you’ve been here for a little bit, you know I love the start of new week.

I also love the start of a new month, which is coming up quickly.

By May 1, there will be new classes added to the schedule, both online and in person. We’ll have walking and seated meditations as well as the return of lovingkindness class.

On May 1, we’ll also start a little bit of time focused on beginning or coming back to practice. We all wander off some times or have trouble even starting, so we’re going to take it easy. This isn’t a formal 30 Day Sit, but it is a week or so of invitations to be here. So it’s a good time to become a daily subscriber if you’ve been considering. If there is any hesitation based on finances, please just reach out.

tl;dr more to come in May! Let’s spend a few minutes breathing together today.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

Hello hello hello.

I’ve spent most of this week a little confused on the date. For instance, I thought yesterday was today. There’s been a lot of sudden news and changes which only adds to the sense of confusion in place and time. Maybe you’ve had a similar week or something entirely different. Whatever the last few days of held for you, maybe finding a little shift sounds nice.

Today, the exhale is our practice. You can take this meditation any time to help bring you into your weekend or otherwise move some energy. I hope you’ll let the exhale guide you into what you need most today.

Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care.

✨ Online and in person sessions are available for more exploration of the exhale and all it holds. Find time for reiki, mindfulness, or a support session here.
