  • Day 10: Inserting mindful pauses throughout the day

    Practice the skill of mindfulness by reminding you to pause and bring yourself into the present moment. Tune into today's episode to learn one way to bring your mind and body to the same moment.

  • Day 9: Giving our rage, anger and other "unglamorous" feelings room to breathe

    Our Rage, frustration, anger, irritation rise frequently during periods of crisis and these feelings (and us, when we feel them) deserve as much attention and compassion as any other time. As an activist, I have firsthand experience with the profound benefits of both loving-kindness-compassion as well as rage-anger-frustration. In this episode, I invite us to notice how all feelings are feedback and our meditation practice can help us develop an attitude of observing those feelings so we can choose actions based on our wisdom instead of unprocessed anger/ shallow joy.

  • Day 8: Why focus on loving-kindness-compassion when you are in crisis?

    Focusing on positive and helpful emotions such as loving-kindness and compassion can seem like a denial of stressful realities. Today's episode is a bit about why those emotions aren't about denial but about responding to crisis in a way that are helpful rather than stressful.

  • Day 6: Self compassion when you feel despair and helplessness

    Can you imagine being truthful in response to the question, "am I doing enough?". Self-compassion helps you acknowledge all your demands and your human limitations alongside helping you recognize that every tiny kind and compassionate gesture makes a difference. Extend compassion to yourself and others to help yourself keep walking.
