Too many meditation practices make false claims about clearing the mind and eliminating anxiety. While these are often pleasant side effects of meditation and mindfulness, they are not the intended goal.

Daily mindfulness meditations, along with intentional calming strategies and routines work together to decrease anxiety while improving emotion regulation and overall mood.

This 20 minute acceptance and commitment therapy inspired meditation gives you a healthy way to process emotions. So often, we tend towards avoiding and hoping to eliminate challenging emotions. In this meditation practice, we instead will turn towards our emotions, allow them to be present, begin to understand them and ride out the wave of any actions (urges) they are leading us towards. Taking a mindful approach to processing emotions, as experienced in this meditation, allows us to reflect on what is most important to us and to act in alignment with the values we hold so we can live our most authentic life.
