Soul Fire Holistics episodes

  • Focused Attention and Concentration
    Meditation and mindfulness help pull the mind away from distractions. Consistent practices such as this one can help the brain strengthen neural pathways for greater alertness and concentration. Join me in a guided practice that brings you into a state of present awareness as we improve alertness and tune out distracting thoughts.

  • Naming the Feelings
    Feelings and emotions live in our physical body. Attuning to these felt sensations helps us know what resources we need to pull out of our toolbox. Join me in a meditative journey to discover what emotions are hiding beneath the surface of your thoughts.

  • Come To Your Senses

    This experiential practice can help shift the attention to the present moment, in turn letting go of ruminating thought patterns of worry or anxiety. The practice can be as long or short as you need it to be and can be done anywhere.

  • Shower Ritual

    I invite you to use this visualization the next time you take a shower. Perhaps, use it as a daily ritual to establish your mindset for the day ahead. 

    Either listen along as you climb into the shower, or listen now and guide yourself through this visualization the next time you climb into the shower. 

    If you are showering at the onset of your day, this can be a powerful tool to set your intention for the day. 

    If you are showering before bed, this can be a powerful tool to wash away the stress from the day.

  • Metta Meditation For Grief

    Metta Meditation is a Buddhist practice that can help us move into a state of self love and compassion, for both ourselves and others. Remembering that we can not pour from an empty cup, this practice helps us invite in loving compassion for ourselves so that we can have genuine love and compassion toward others with whom we are in relation. At 17 minutes, this is a lengthier practice, so before you begin, please find a space free from distraction, where you can allow yourself to be fully present. If you do not make it all the way through, it's okay. Perhaps you revisit this one over and over again.
