Breathing and Grounding
Breathing and Grounding
We often become very hard on ourselves when we face major life events. Feelings of negativity and depression can fill our mind and heart. This meditation invites you to be more kind to yourself by validating how you are feelings rather than judging yourself. Training in mindfulness shows that the wires in the brain begin to shift to more healthy and resilient areas when we no longer hold on to the events of the past or treat ourselves with more kindness and compassion.

Choosing Confidence & Face Fear
Fear is an emotion. When you befriend and let it dissolve, you can choose confidence. You can choose to feel safe within yourself no matter how uncertain the future may feel. Remember fear can be replaced by a sense of confidence in you, in the present moment, and things that have worked out - feeling grateful.

Non-Judging
Non-Judging
This meditation can help you be free of negativity and have an open mind about you, people and life in general. There is a saying "in the expert's mind, there are only few possibilities, but in the beginner's mind there are many". Often our prejudgements and past conditioning can come in the way of experiencing life as truly it is. We can become so caught up in our head about how we should be, how others should be and how life should be - we can miss living life completely. This meditation is about seeing things with fresh eyes and mindset, even the ones we consider to be bad. We see with open mind and new possibilities. "A rose is a rose is a rose" - Gertrude Stein
