The Bodhi Soul Meditations

Hello Mindful Soul,

I’m switching things up over here on The Bodhi Soul · mindful living for real life… In an effort to be able to offer more (free) mindful moment meditations in both audio & (new) videos formats, I’ll be changing the newsletter from weekly to monthly. This will allow me to spend more time and care creating the meditations as well as the new programs and workshops coming soon.

The newsletter will now move to the last Sunday of each month and will still feature the same topics about the path towards a more slow, calm and peaceful life. I want this to continue to be a place where you find a mix of uncomplicated yet factual mindfulness and meditation info, straightforward guided meditations, as well as heartfelt offerings of my own personal journey.

Anyway, on to the special meditation I’ve included for you. This was originally planned as the paid subscribers meditation for this week, and it still is, but I’ve opened it up for you as well as a thank you for being here.

I hope you enjoy it!

💛 Rebecca

Hello mindful souls!

Welcome to Week 6 of The Fundamentals of Meditation: A 6 week meditation program for real life - where you’re learning how to integrate the aspects of calmness, focused awareness, and an open attitude (which you’ll experience during meditation practice) into your everyday life.

We’ve reached the final session of this FREE program. I created it with the intention to serve as a foundation for you to start (or reestablish) your meditation journey. I truly hope it has been beneficial to you.

In case you just stumbled upon this session and haven’t started the program yet, here’s a link to session one so you can get started straight away!

Remember meditation is a journey, not a destination. By joining this program you’ll learn simple meditation techniques to build on from one week to the next, creating a sustainable practice. Make sure to be patient with yourself and think of the positive effects of meditation; like reduced stress, improved self-awareness, and better emotional well-being, using them as motivation to keep going.

Hello mindful souls!

Welcome to Week 5 of The Fundamentals of Meditation: A 6 week meditation program for real life - where you’re learning how to integrate the aspects of calmness, focused awareness, and an open attitude (which you’ll experience during meditation practice) into your everyday life.

This session is an introduction to mantra meditation. Mantra is a Sanskrit term, with “man” meaning “mind” and “tra” meaning “release.” A mantra is a sound, word, or a phrase you repeat over and over during meditation. It’s an easy and effective tool that can help you focus your mind and keep it from wandering. Whether you choose a mantra that reinforces your intention to meditate, such as the Sanskrit word “shanti,” which means “peace”, or one that simply reminds you of how you’d like to feel, like the word like calm, or the word joy, there’s no right or wrong choice. You can also use your mantra as an affirmation that resonates with you, such as “I am calm” or “My life is filled with joy”.

Let’s start by answering the question: What is Meditation?

I find Meditation best described as the practice of focusing the mind to achieve a state of calm and clarity.Dating back thousands of years, many meditative techniques originated from Eastern traditions. Some of these techniques involve focusing on a particular sensation, such as breathing, a sound, visual image, or mantra.It takes patience and practice, and in taking the time to meditate, you open yourself up to amazing benefits.Meditation pioneer Sharon Salzberg says: “One of my meditation teachers said that the most important moment in your meditation practice is the moment you sit down to do it. Because right then you’re saying to yourself that you believe in change, you believe in caring for yourself, and you’re making it real. You’re not just holding some value like mindfulness or compassion in the abstract, but really making it real.”… I couldn’t agree more!There’s no special equipment required for this program, just a space where you can sit or lie down comfortably.

Thank you so much for taking the time to be here!

Again, I hope you’ll enjoy this program.

Hello Mindful Soul,

This grounding meditation is for times when you feel the need to recentre yourself and reconnect with your body and mind. It is one that will leave you feeling a sense of calm within.

There are studies that show comforting touch signals safety to the brain, triggering the release of hormones which promote feelings of well-being and reduced stress. You’ll be able to experience that for yourselves with this guided meditation.

If you have the time, take a few minutes to write in your journal about whatever may have come up today. It’s a wonderful way to explore your thoughts and feeling and cultivate self-awareness.

I hope you enjoy!

Namaste,

Rebecca

Hello Mindful Soul,

This meditation is part of a series for those who are either short on time or just feeling too overwhelmed to commit to a longer practice. These short meditations provide a way for you to take a pause and engage your body's relaxation response. In turn, this can help to lower stress and anxiety levels, and lead to a more calm and balanced you.

This short guided sensation meditation is similar to a body scan meditation in that you’re taking the time to connect to your body, your sensations, thoughts, and emotions and becoming more aware of your physical and emotional state. This can help to lead to a greater understanding of one’s self. Follow this meditation up with an entry into your journal if or when you have the time.

With consistent practice meditation and journaling can bring a sense of calm, peace and balance to your life.

I hope you enjoy!

Namaste, Rebecca
