What is meditation, really? In this video, I share a simple and grounded explanation of meditation as a practice of bringing order into your life, starting with the body and gently moving into the mind. You will learn why posture matters, how stillness supports awareness, and why sitting is often the best place to begin a meditation practice.This talk walks you through the foundations of mindfulness meditation, including how to work with the breath, how to relate to wandering thoughts, and how daily practice trains the mind to return to the present moment. Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but about learning to notice them and come back to now with kindness and clarity.Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this video offers practical guidance for building focus, calm, and inner order through simple breath awareness. Over time, this practice can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and reconnect you with the peace of the present moment.Take a few minutes, settle into stillness, and explore what meditation truly means.#meditation #mindfulness #breathawareness #presentmoment #innerpeace #zenmeditation #meditationforbeginners #mindtraining #calmthemind #selfawareness #spiritualgrowth

Stop apologizing for your boundaries and start protecting your peace. Are you feeling drained by the "external noise" of a chaotic world? In this 10-minute guided meditation, we explore the essential practice of mental shielding and energy protection. Designed specifically for empaths and those struggling with anxiety, this session provides a "somatic anchor" to help you detach from stress and reclaim your inner pilot light. In This Episode, You Will Explore:The Protective Sphere: A powerful visualization to build a "bubble of warmth" around your body, acting as a shield where chaotic energy simply bounces off. Somatic Release: Breathwork techniques (Inhale for 4, Exhale for 6) to signal your nervous system to "relax and unwind." Boundary Affirmations: Reframe your mindset with powerful intentions: "I am the guardian of my own energy" and "I can say no without guilt." The Log Cabin Visualization: Learn to observe the "winter storms" of life—job stress and expectations—through a window of detachment rather than being swept away by them. 3 Caring Tips for Daily Boundary Setting: The One-Minute Wait: Before committing to new requests, take 60 seconds to check your actual energy capacity. Visual Unplugging: Physically turn your phone face down or cover standby lights to give your brain a rest from "visual noise." The Warm Drink Anchor: Use the physical sensation of heat on your palms to ground yourself instantly in the present moment. About the Winter Radiance SeriesThis episode is Part 2 of our special Winter Radiance mini-series. While Part 1 focused on rekindling the spark, today we build the sanctuary. Join us tomorrow for Part 3, where we learn how to use this newly protected energy to bloom and grow. Subscribe & Review: If this meditation helped you find your center, please subscribe to Calming Anxiety on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Your reviews help other empaths find the mental shielding they need to thrive.Remember: To your beautiful soul, be kind.

Heart-Light – Love & Self-Compassion is a soft invitation to return home to your heart. In this meditation, you're guided to rest your awareness in the heart space and sense a radiant light of love glowing from within. As this heart-light expands, it gently illuminates every cell, every part of you—bringing clarity where there has been confusion, tenderness where there has been self-judgment, and compassion where you may have been holding tight. This is a practice of remembering your own loving presence and allowing it to become a steady, healing force within. Want more meditations and early access?

A tender, contemplative meditation adapted from Joan Halifax's work that gently guides you through the difficult terrain of loss and sorrow. This practice invites you to sit with your grief compassionately, using reflective phrases to open to pain, find inner resources, and practice self-forgiveness for things left undone or unmet needs. Rather than avoiding or rushing through grief, this meditation encourages you to be present with your sadness while remembering that you are not your sadness. The practice concludes with an invitation to be open with others, receive support, and recognize grief as a profoundly humanizing experience that can bring greater depth to our lives. Whether you're processing a recent loss, anticipating one, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with grief, this meditation offers a safe space for self-compassion and healing.

Learn to meet your struggles with kindness through this gentle meditation developed by Chris Germer and Kristin Neff. This practice guides you through working with a moderately stressful situation in your life, whether it's a health concern, relationship difficulty, or work pressure, using the three pillars of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness.

Have you been wanting a way to send healing, peace and support to Minneapolis and feel that you made a difference? That has been my prayer for the last few weeks…so I offered a live channeled peace and healing meditation with Mother Mary right after Alex Pretti was murdered. Everyone who participated said it was the MOST powerful event I have ever facilitated! Not only did Mother Mary come, She brought the company of heaven with Her – the angels, archangels, saints, spirit guides…even the ancestors showed up! But the most unexpected and moving thing that happened is the presence of Renee Good and Alex Pretti joined us, along with all the souls who have lost their lives at the hands of ICE… not in anger, but in determined love and support. At one point, we felt the energy of the Buddhist Peace monks in our circle too! I'm not sure how they found us, but that is when I knew we had accessed a high level of peace and healing! So in this special episode, I am sharing this extraordinary meditation with you so that you can experience the power, peace, healing and grace for yourself. I purposely didn't edit the audio because there are messages from Mother Mary in the beginning, but if you want to jump ahead to the meditation, it begins around the 20-minute mark.   Key Learnings: 1) Mother Mary said that what is happening in Minneapolis, which reminds so many of us of Germany in the 1930's, is so much older than that. She said the archetype of King Herod was present on the planet, especially in the USA right now. This is the archetype of the insecure leader who will do anything to retain power, such as the murder of the innocents. Any time you see children being harmed in an attempt to secure power, be sure that the Herod energy is present and active. 2) The good news is that is Herod is present, then Christ must also be present! And nothing makes the Herod energy more desperate than the rising of goodness, compassion and love. 3) During this meditation, we were joined by Mother Mary, the entire company of heaven, including the ancestors. And then something miraculous happened…the souls of Renee Good and Alex Pretti joined our circle, along with all the souls who have died at the hands of ICE. Even the energy of the Buddhist Monks who are walking for peace joined our circle too. This was one of the most powerful meditations I have ever facilitated.   "No matter how things appear, always know that a greater good is happening.

Okay, y'all. Buckle up for a full-body reminder: there is nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I'm throwing down the truth about judgment (yours and everyone else's), ego meltdowns, pink hair stereotypes, and what happens when you finally shut up long enough to hear what's going on in your own head. We get real about red pepper anxiety, the silent retreat that changed me, and the quote that's been living rent-free in my brain: “No one will ever love you the way you want to be loved… because that's your job.” Spoiler: there's also a blue breath meditation to clear out your throat chakra so you can speak your truth without all the noise. It's part pep talk, part truth bomb, and all heart. Let's go.
