  • 56. Meditating in the Rain

    This meditation was recorded when I was on my panchakarma retreat in Bali, and it just so happens that a heavy tropical storm rolled through around 4am, prompting me to wake up. I couldn't fall asleep so I thought I would take advantage of the rain and use it as an anchor for your meditation practice. Not only does the sound of rain sooth my nerves, but I love imagining myself playing or standing in the rain, washing away my sins AHEM* I mean stresses ;)


    I hope you enjoy this meditation. Stay well!

  • 55. Meditation - Meditating at Dawn

    Hello again from Ubud, Bali. I was up bright and early in anticipation for the peak part of my retreat, and since it was so wonderfully quiet and serene, I thought I'd share my practice with you.

    There is limited talking in this meditation, so really take this time to get physically comfortable, and to bask in the silence. 

    This is the time for you to observe the sounds of your surroundings, and the ocean-like sounds of the ebb and flow of your breath. 

    Namaste, and have a wonderful day ahead!

  • 54. Meditation - Visualising Your Most Special Place

    Hello from Bali! I always seem to be recording meditations when I'm on this special island. 

    I was inspired to share a meditation that really allowed you to feel the healing powers of nature, even if you are contained in a concrete jungle. To really bring the elements and the serene qualities of a natural environment to life. I hope you enjoy this short meditation.

    On another note, I've been silent lately because I have been working on my other short-form podcast called Listening Well! Please do take a look and give me feedback where you have it! Links to the podcast below.

  • 53. Meditation - Finding Stillness Amidst The Storm

    I know, it's been ages!

    I haven't been slacking, I swear. I am launching a new podcast soon alongside this one, and until I have gotten my own flow going, I will keep up with my weekly meditations as best as I can. Events have also been pouring back to Singapore at a rapid pace, and I am struggling to find time to tend to my own personal projects!

    It seems like it's been a whirlwind of a time for everyone, really. So much happening and so fast, that I hope everyone is remembering to find downtime and to commit to your meditation practice. 

    This meditation is a simple one. One that asks you to try to find that stillness in your breath and thoughts amidst a revolving chaotic world. If you are commuting to work, this is a great one for you to tune into. 

    Until next time, friends!

  • 51. Meditation - Sitting Like A Mountain
    I have never felt more alive than I do when I rest on top of a mountain. That moment when you get to the peak, exhausted yet exhilarated. Feeling expansive yet so small. The fact that it's more about the arduous journey towards the peak than the actual time spent at the summit itself. 
    I've summited many peaks across the world and I must say it's one of those things that I do on a yearly basis. It's almost like my soul needs to be reminded of how small I am. I need to be reminded that there are forces greater than I. To be humbled when things don't go your way like the weather or the view when you've finally made your way to the top. 
    I have the Gourishankar Mountains of Nepal tattooed on my ribs to remind me of the vastness I felt when I was there. The grounding energy of the mountains teaches me so much, and is one of the reasons why I love using the mountains as a reference for my meditations. More so than the image of a sky. 
    Please enjoy this meditation, for it is one I hold so dearly to my heart.

  • 50. Meditation - Connecting You Closer To Nature

    Hello from Selat, Bali! Man, it feels so good to be back on the Island of the Gods. And just to travel, period. I have truly missed this special place. Brad and I decided to go off the beaten path this trip, and stay in an area in Bali that is more authentic, untainted with the greed tourism brings. The hearts of the people on this side of the island are just so pure and beautiful. My kinda place. We are lodged in this eco-friendly bamboo home that was created with the intention to bring you closer to nature. To experience a more "raw" version of what Bali has to offer. We are the guests in this part of the island. It is us that has to adapt to the animals and trees around us. Being immersed in this, I reflected on why it was that I could breathe better. My mind felt so much clearer. The river nearby allows for an explosion of negative ions, and the jungle that we are nestled in gives allows for an abundance of oxygen.  This meditation will encourage you to see how we are all so interconnected, and that this exchange of life force between us and the plants is one that is obscure, but so powerful.  Enjoy! :)

  • 49. Reflection - Being vs. Doing

    In this episode, I reflect briefly on what the yin and yang energies mean to me. But most importantly, to encourage everyone to continuously check in with yourself, to find out what type of energy you need to hone more of in that particular day. One is not better than the other. Doing is not better than being, and vice versa. But if we take that moment to pause and really check in and listen to our bodies, we can decide - hmmm... I'm on holiday and I'm a lazy f*ck, maybe a functional training session is best for me today. Or damn, I really went at it these past few weeks, I'm gonna take it easy and do some light stretches for this session.  LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Then decide what to do. Get out of your head, and into your body. It will do you so many wonders in the long run. Sending love from sunny Bali! <3

  • 48. Meditation - A Metta Practice for Ukraine
    "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." -Dalai Lama
    I often wonder what goes on in the hearts and minds of those in the position of immense power. How disconnected they must feel with those around them and with everyone in the world. Compassion and kindness sometimes has to be cultivated, and so I thought it pertinent to share a metta practice dedicated to those suffering in the world at this moment.
    Metta is the pali word for kindness towards others. In this meditation you will be asked to share your own love and kindness to not only those that you love, but to those who are difficult to love and even to those you don't know. 
    Open your heart, and see how far you can expand your love to those in the world that need support the most.

  • 47. Reflection - The Power Of Pausing
    A small word packed with so much power. In this episode, I reflect on the ways pausing can make a huge impact on our lives on both a macroscopic point of view (appreciation of beauty and nature), to a microscopic point of view (watching our emotions and how we react). 
    Sending you love!

  • 46. Meditation - Visualising The Spine

    The curvature of the spine is one that I find so soothing to visualize when I sit. The subtle ways the spine moves when you breathe in and out make the spine an effective anchor for your attention. In this meditation, we will bring focus to the spine, and observe the ways the breath impacts the movement of the spine. If you are working with a misaligned spine or scoliosis, this meditation can help bring a sense of ease if you feel any pain.  Enjoy!
