Often when we are anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or fraught with racing thoughts; we may find ourselves stuck. If we feel we are unable to leave, these negative feelings can overstay their welcome. This practice helps you greet these feelings without self-judgment, sit with them without harm, and allow them to leave you in peace and freedom. This 9 minute exercise should be practiced and repeated to help train your mind to deal with anxious and overwhelming thoughts as they appear throughout your life. This is not a quick fix, and should not be used as such. Doing this once or twice will at best have minor results. With continued practice, this exercise has brought me peace, freedom, and control over the time I spend with my anxiety.  

Negative emotions will arise in our minds and bodies and can cause us suffering. Often we continue to focus and give attention to this emotion, or we add self-judgement on top of it. This only feeds the fire of suffering that is burning in our awareness. In this meditation, allow yourself to sit near the fire without it consuming you. Allow yourself to snuff it out and feel the cool space of peace and freedom from suffering. 

Every living organism breathes from the same air. Allow yourself to fully experience the unity held in this simple truth. This meditation explores how breath units the planet and that we are all breathing together as one being. 

It is easy to say you want peace, or that you love another. But what does this feeling actually entail? The meditation guides you to examine how you feel about your own peace, along with that of your friends and enemies. It asks you to explore the peace, joy, and freedom you feel and to extend it out to the rest of the world. 

Everything we experience passes through our mind. The world we see and interact with exists in two places: outside and inside. This meditation guides your attention to find the place where thoughts and sensations take place.
