  • Becoming Free From The Judging Mind
    Judgment is happening all the time. And most times it’s happening and we’re unconscious of it.
    In this episode, I share a perspective around why being so judgmental can actually be detrimental to our lives & how it also may be what’s blocking many of us from truly living a life felt with peace, joy, & freedom. I also share a few tips & questions you can ask yourself that can serve you in the practice of learning to shift your relationship with the judging mind. I hope that this episode brings you exactly what you need. Thank you for being here & for listening. Let me know what your thought!! I’d love to hear your feedback.

  • It’s not fair (Meditation for Grief & Loss)
    In this episode, I share a recorded audio guided mediation on grief and loss; a practice I led live on insight timer yesterday. The intention is to create & hold space as we move through the difficult processes of life. This is an opportunity for us to sit with the truth that…life is not fair. And some things maybe shouldn’t have happened. Either way it did & the way we feel about it matters. Loss, no matter the type, can feel painful & for many of us it can also feel challenging to move through with acceptance or ease. The practice I share with you here aims to hopefully offer you atleast some space, a moment for you to be with your self as you move through whatever arises in real time. Namaste my friend.

  • If you’re losing hope, TRY THIS.
    Sometimes life will test us and send us challenges that may seem too unbearable or difficult to face or overcome. And in those moments, we may lose hope, trust, faith in ourselves & in god. And if we don’t seek refuge or retreat to heal ourselves, such circumstances can perpetuate further feelings of disconnectedness, lowering us into a state of deep suffering. And so that’s why, in this episode, I share 3 tools we can return too, not only when we find ourselves in this low vibrational space, but tools that are readily available to us at all times whenever we need them. So listen in to learn more about what they are so that you can remember to come back to them anytime you feel called too.

  • Fake it until you make it
    In this episode, I share what “fake it until you make it,” means to me. In short, it means to allow yourself to be a beginner. Whether you’re starting a new job, new relationship, new path of healing even…in the beginning it’ll feel different, it’ll feel scary. And that’s okay. Still, allow yourself to simply be a beginner. Fake it til you make it.

  • Let Go & Let God
    When things in your life don’t go the way you planned, how do you respond? What do you do when you feel like everything is just falling apart? Do you lose faith? Do you lose trust? Do you give up? Or what if there was another way to approach these sort of setbacks? What if you can simply surrender to whatever happens & flow with it? In this episode, I share with you how I handle life when it gets heavy or takes a shift in a different unexpected direction. In short, I come back to god!….If you liked this episode, please feel free to share on social media!

  • Come back to your senses (mindfulness of the prezent moment) Guided Meditation
    This is a 20 min focused awareness guided meditation that starts around the 5:00 min mark. This practice focuses on using the 5 senses as a way to help drop us back into our bodies, out of our minds, and into the prezent moment. Often times we’re ruminating thoughts in our mind, thinking of the past or future, worried or stress, overwhelmed…that most times we’re just in our heads…thinking. And this meditation helps to remind us how to get out of our heads, to be more prezent by simply using the tools we naturally have— our sense of smell, touch, sight, sound, and hearing.

  • Blast to the Past — inner child healing meditation
    In this episode, I share a short guided meditation that I created around healing the inner child. This is a short practice that aims to first help us cultivate a sense of calm, relaxation, & safety through grounding our energy in the present moment. Then we take a trip to the past to our earliest memory of childhood, where we can then begin to explore into that early chapter in our life to recall any memories or feelings that we’ve experienced. Through this journey of exploration, we may also notice painful moments that may bring up present emotional discomfort. This is okay and to be expected. This is how the healing process begins. So if and when this happens, we will use our breathe as our anchor to keep us safe & protected. And we will continue to allow whatever arises to arise, reminding ourselves that we are safe now, & in this process will hopefully allow a sense of acceptance & surrender — letting go of the pain from your past. Are you ready? Let’s meditate.
