Welcome. Let's take a walk through the autumn forest to the river and release what is no longer serving us. Tapping into the energetics of the season, this sensory rich meditation walks alongside you, with patience and compassion, as you make the hard choice to let something go. You can come back to this as many times as you need, even in other seasons (especially if you time it to the waning moon). Enjoy.

Welcome back! Today's episode, I talk a little about the difference between awareness and mindfulness. It had been a long time since I specifically evaluated if something I thought was mindfulness actually was - oops, room to grow and an invitation to return. Enjoy!

Welcome! Concentrating on one thing is the prelude to meditation and it is a skill that must be practiced over and over. This short video gives you an opportunity to do that practice.
This draws in multiple senses to help you stay engaged in your practice. There is continuous bird song (audio) and there is the visual of leaves blowing in the wind I recorded from my local area. Every minute, there is a gentle ping. These serve a couple purposes. They count down the time you have left if you feel like you are struggling and want to continue but need the little reassurance that you can (time blindness). AND it gives you the gentle reminder every minute to notice that you are thinking (it is natural, we ALL do it) and to bring your attention back to your practice (this is LITERALLY what you are practicing!!).
Catching your thoughts, or rather that you are thinking thoughts, and bringing your attention back to the video, to your breath, to the sound, that is what you are practicing. That is the work of getting better at meditation.
We need to be patient, gentle with ourselves. This takes SO MUCH effort for our brains. This is not our natural state. BUT, if we can commit and recommit to this practice over and over, it can get better. It can start to help.
You can do it!

Welcome in! Today I introduce a new breathwork practice, often suggested for grounding anxiety, the 4-7-8 count. In the first part of the episode, I teach you a little bit about how why this breath count is helpful and what to expect from practicing. We then prepare the body by establishing a belly breath. And then the do 5 rounds of this breathwork.
In a following episode, I will have a longer practice of just the guided counts.

Hi! In this episode, you will work with the energy of water and your intention to release yourself from circling thoughts, worries, or memories that are bothering you and won't let go.
This meditation was originally developed for a child, but would work wonderfully for people of all ages.

Hi, in today's episode we have the box breathing practice that would be great for kids. This is a 3 count for the inhale, hold, exhale, and pause. This is also appropriate for adults who need to work up to taking deeper, longer breaths.
