Let this meditation practice be a reminder that It's okay to slow down. So often we are rushing from one thing to the next, barely taking a moment to ensure we are getting full breaths. All of this rushing leads to increase cortisol levels, racing thoughts and feeling more anxious than we'd like to. Give yourself the gift of slowing down, listening to your breath and being reminded of your innate worthiness.

This 7 minute meditation was designed to help you make space for your emotions. So often we turn away from our internal experiences, but here you have an opportunity to face them, to become curious about them and to care for yourself as you make space to feel them. It is only when we allow ourselves to feel that we begin to make space for healing and a deep appreciation for ourselves. Let this meditation be your guide as you learn to face your emotions and ultimately to face yourself. You deserve to experience goodness, peace and freedom.

Urge Surfing is an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy Expansion Practice designed to help for when emotions feel too big to carry. Oftentimes our default response to these types of emotions is an urge to avoid, distract, eliminate or control. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy shows us another approach to managing these emotions so we can lean to live with them rather than being in a constant struggle with normal human emotions. Once we become aware of these emotions and the impact they have, we can then decide how we'd like to proceed, instead of being swept away by behaviors which are not serving our values or the life we'd like to be living.

Join in on this inner healing meditation to process your emotions mindfully. So often we try to ignore, suppress or even shame ourselves for experiencing the emotions we feel. While this practice is common, it certainly does not serve us well in any capacity. There are many healthy ways to process your emotions, but in this practice we are choosing to utilize mindfulness to do so. Using mindfulness to process our emotions allows us to take a step back, and to observe our emotions without them completely overwhelming us. The final phase of the practice offers affirmations in order to cultivate compassion, healing and inner strength.

This body image healing meditation practice turns your attention to all the incredible things your body allows you to enjoy. This guided meditation is a progressive muscle relaxation style practice which incorporates grounding of the body, relaxation of your mind and muscles, as well as practicing gratitude for all your body does for you. When we begin to acknowledge our bodies in this way, we can experience relief and healing in our relationship to our body, rather than solely judging it for how it looks. Join in on this practice if you are craving calm and freedom from body judgement.
