Offering Lovingkindness To Someone You Will Meet by Joel Fishbein

A meditation in which we offer ourselves some compassion: fundamentally, we're not perfect, we're just humans.

A brief S.T.O.P. meditation to use while on the go - on a bus, train, plane, or anywhere else where you may find it useful.

A refection on being mindful while on the go.

Some thoughts about being a beginner, and staying a beginner, in meditation practice.

In this guided meditation, we'll be listening with fresh ears to the sounds going on around us, and working with the identifications and judgements our mind produces about those sounds.

Reflecting on New Year's Resolutions, resolving to be more present with moment to moment experiences, and a quote from Karl Ove Knausgard's My Struggle Book 1.

This week's meditation is much like last week's, but with a twist: we're just taking five mindful breaths. This technique is especially useful for busy times at work or during travel when you just have a minute or two to yourself. How does it feel during and after this meditation, as compared to the longer Sitting With The Breath meditation posted last week? Exploring and finding what type and length of meditation works for you is all part of being a beginner meditator (and we're never more than just beginners).

An awareness of breath meditation.
