Simple Anxiety-Soothing Technique: How to do Basic Havening

Thank you for Listening! Taking a Brief Break from Podcasting. Have a Happy Holiday Season

I appreciate you more than you know and I will be taking a short break to focus on family over the holiday season. I hope you will have many moments of joy, wonder, and awe. In this episode, I say a temporary goodbye and tell you about a wonderful book that I am reading. It is a perfect reminder of why pausing and connecting to awe not only is enjoyable but is actually extremely good for us and society in general. We could all use a little more wonder in our life and I sincerely hope you will experience it many times over the next several weeks.    I encourage you to scroll through the last 60 episodes and listen to whatever catches your attention or will support you during this busy season. Can't wait to be back sharing what I love and KNOW intimately can help you thrive in this beautiful thing we call life.

Gratitude for the Little Things: Guided Meditation

Connecting to gratitude has a long list of benefits for us and those we spend time with.  You don't have to have something big to be grateful for either to express it and gain from the practice.  In this mediation, we explore being grateful for the little things and even for those things that may cause frustration or annoyance. In almost every situation, gratitude is possible.  This meditation works best in your favorite indoor space but it is also possible to use your imagination to take you there. 👉🏼 want to learn more about why gratitude is such a powerful practice and how to amplify the experience?

Free Up Your Energy: A Guided Meditation to Explore Your Emotions and Build Resiliency

Emotions come in waves, yet many of us avoid the challenging ones fearing that we will get overwhelmed or stuck in them.  However, stuffing and avoiding emotions comes at a cost. Negative emotions silently drain our energy, make us agitated and reactive, or even worse, can eventually make us physically ill. If you haven't mindfully explored your emotions yet and how they show up in your body (or even if you have), this episode's meditation will safely guide you through connecting to a mildly stressful emotion, witnessing how it shows up for you and then gently guide you to shift into a more positive state.  By practicing processing and witnessing our emotions with curiosity we can help increase our capacity to deal with the hard stuff making us more resilient when a crisis occurs while also giving us the ability to more deeply connect to joy.
