On the journey of becoming more and more aware, at one point we realize that nothing ever exists in a bubble. Everything is interconnected, and so is our breath. In this meditation we recognize the fact that our breath is inseparably connected to the "breath" of trees and green plants.

Join me in this deep connection to Nature.

Sit down and relax into this meditation, where we go through different layers of consciousness to become aware of what's going on right now, in this very moment.

There's a huge misconception around resting in western societies. The misconception is that taking a break or resting means to push the pause button on your productivity. Because it is a state when you appear to be doing nothing, it is thought of exactly like that: standing still. But this assumption couldn't be further from the truth.

When you consciously choose to take a break and to practice active rest, you trigger integration. And integration is rocket fuel for your evolution and productivity. If you don't integrate skills, insights and lesson from your previous project, you'll keep making the same mistakes and you'll end up feeling like you're spinning your wheels. You'll be stuck in the same stage of your evolution, not being able to see further than the past.

But if you let integration happen, and even more, if you actively and consciously seek integration after every project and even every work session, you'll be able to move forward, because you'll recognize what has and hasn't worked in the past. You can then live what you've learned, or in other words, you are able to embody what you know. This is how theoretical knowledge becomes living experience.

Here's a 13 min practice to activate conscious rest.

Here's one look at why the thought "I'm behind with my life" can be questioned and proven untrue. There are many more angles to this, so we look at one angle in this Conscious Productivity Soundbite.

Conscious Productivity Soundbites are short, bite-sized explorations around what it means to be truly productive.

This is a practice from phase two of the Conscious Productivity Cycle.

Every idea and project that you long to create, that comes from a deep soul-level desire, is an invitation to embody qualities of your Soul.

In this meditation, you'll be guided towards discovering which qualities you seek to embody through a specific project.

This is a recording of a LIVE Conscious Productivity session. In this session, I guide you through the four phases of conscious productivity, so you can find more ease in working on the projects that really matter to you. The session includes dedicated time to actually work on your project, so bring your tools too! :)
