Imagine meeting your last breath, and feeling utterly, truly safe...

This meditation explores the difference between conceptual safety and the felt safety that arises when we stop separating ourselves from our emotions. It guides you out of the mind’s protective shelters and back into the raw, honest intelligence of the body, where fear, grief, and uncertainty can finally be met without resistance. 

Through embodied inquiry, you learn to dissolve the imagined distance between “you” and your sensations, revealing that even anxiety and instability can become safe when fully felt. This practice helps you rediscover undivided presence as the only real refuge. It’s an invitation to return to the wild, grounded aliveness that has always held you — the safety of simply being here. 

Thank you for being here with me and for exploring the deeper truths - without negating the body. I have lots of poetry to share with you in the new year, and I very much look forward to staying in touch.

Many spiritual teachings show us that form is empty—but few guide us to see that emptiness itself is form, alive and breathing through the body. This meditation invites a full return: after glimpsing the formless, we come home to the body, where the subtle intelligence of life unfolds in sensation, breath, and movement. Here, emptiness and form are inseparable, and self-realization becomes an intimate, felt experience rather than a distant concept. 

Using imagery of evolution, nature, and cosmic lineage, the meditation dissolves the sense of separation between observer and observed, revealing that your breath, sensations, and aliveness are inseparable from the intelligence of the whole. You are invited to rest fully in the present, release the mind’s narrative and the illusion of control, and allow your body to reveal the effortless unfolding of existence. 

Thank you for supporting this work and for giving it a place in your heart, Love Sez

These daily remembrances are invitations to return to what has never left: your own aliveness. Each affirmation is a thread weaving you back into the house of being—the body, the breath, the quiet intelligence that holds everything as it is. Here, embodiment is not a goal or a perfect state; it’s the willingness to feel whatever is present, without a story. These words will remind you that presence is your safest refuge, that thought is only a window (not the world), and that wholeness is already here—even in discomfort, even in contradiction. They offer grounding in moments of overwhelm, gentle guidance through disconnection, and encouragement when old narratives resurface. This is a companion for those longing for stillness without escaping life, for those ready to trust the simple miracle of being. This audio was created as shorter reminders as part of The House of Being - True Embodiment meditation.

Step into the oldest home you will ever know—your body. This meditation invites you to leave outside the door everything you think embodiment means and enter the living presence of what already is. So often we believe we need to feel a certain way to be whole or fully alive, but true embodiment is simpler—and more accessible—than that. Here, we explore the house of being: a refuge that never moves from the present, even when thoughts pull us through its thought-windows into stories of past and future. Through stillness and imagination, you’ll rediscover that aliveness is not something to achieve but something you already are. This practice is for anyone who feels like they inhabit a half-lived life, disconnected, dissociated, and bereft of wholeness, as I have done for most of my life. I hope it offers you a way of relating to your thoughts so you have more access to the Divine - not in spite of the body but because of it! Much Love, Sez

This poem explores how our resistance to life can leave us feeling disembodied. Though nothing can exist outside of presence, we suffer deeply in our attempts to escape what is here.

With a short reflection, gentle music, and subtle sound effects, I invite you to feel whatever is present right now, without the story. Whether that is heartache, grief, loneliness, dissociation, joy, peace, or stillness—it doesn’t matter, as long as we stay with our direct, unnarrated experience of it.

Freedom, as I’ve come to know it, doesn’t come from making life more peaceful than painful. It comes from being able to be with both, knowing we are the space that holds it all. 

A question you might like to reflect on is: What is it about me that is able to hold both joy and pain at the same time? Can you lean into that meraculous 'ability' - explore it gently, and offer your curiosity to it?

Thank you, sincerely, for helping make this space a reciprocal one.

If this work speaks to you, please consider sharing it with those who might find it meaningful. I left social media in 2022 and choose not to use advertising or promotion, as part of a slower, more intentional way of living and creating. Your word-of-mouth support means more than I can say. Thank you.

This piece is a gentle ode to idleness—a meditation on the quiet, miraculous fullness found in simply sitting, watching, and being. With the sea as a companion and the sky as a witness, we explore how presence asks nothing of us but attention. In a world that constantly demands productivity, this poem offers permission to pause, to be thoroughly unuseful, and yet feel more whole than ever. Through images of waves, wind, and distant sails, we are reminded that being present with whatever arises can be one of the deepest spiritual 'achievements'.

If this reflection speaks to you, I invite you to journey further in my new course W(hole)ness (on Insight Timer & my website)—a slow, spacious return to the essence of who you are. Thank you for allowing this work to sit with you for a moment, and I look forward to adding more poetry here soon. Much Love, Sez

Sometimes, we need to use a different word in order to let Grace in. In this meditation, I explore 'presence' as another name for Self, Oneness, and Reality—so we can deepen our somatic experience of the undivided now. Whether you're seeking peace, clarity, healing, or a sense of belonging, this inquiry invites you to rediscover Wholeness - not as something to achieve, but as something that we already ARE. Even pain becomes a doorway back into inclusion when we realize what holds it is inherently complete and loving. I don't want to add more words to our conceptual understandings, but challenge the assumptions we often make on this path, which can become what limits us from a deeper homecoming. Much love and gratitude for listening today. Sez

This immersive meditation uses the metaphor of a tree to guide us through the illusion of separation and the quiet journey back to our true nature. Through poetic reflection and direct felt experience, we explore how thought becomes identity, how suffering arises through forgetting, and how, like the tree, we can return to the peace that never left us. 

A powerful invitation to simplify 'enlightenment', to see clearly the dualistic nature of thought, and to remember yourself home. Please forgive my use of “it” when referring to the tree in this meditation. For the sake of clarity in the visualization, our more-than-human kin was momentarily framed as an “it”—but this is a limitation of language, not of truth. 

I hope it doesn’t distract from the deeper message of interconnectedness and remembrance. Thank you for being present in this space and for holding these words for a moment - may they be of use to anyone suffering, lost, or unsure right now. 

Much Love, Sez

This track is a daily invitation to return—to yourself, to presence, to the unshakable truth that you are already whole. It is a reminder that nothing in life needs to be fixed or figured out for you to belong to it completely. Through surrender and by offering a radical presence to all experiences, you are guided to embrace uncertainty, failure, longing, and love without resistance. Let these words be a refuge, a steadying force in the midst of change, and a call to live with more ease, depth, and trust in the unfolding of life. May this also serve as a supportive companion to all those on the W(hole)ness course, as a quick reminder that simple presence is the pinnacle of all spiritual ambitions. Thank you for all the unexpected ways we converge paths through these words. Love Sez
