Guided Meditations

The practice of meditation creates an opening, a way of accessing parts of the mind allowing us to name our experience of thought, feeling, and physical sensation. When we create space between what is happening in our minds and how we would like to respond, we feel a greater sense of inner peace and control.

As we practice, we may have glimmers of stillness, and with more practice a greater overall experience of calm and quiet. The practice of connecting with ourselves deeply is fundamental for unconditional self-acceptance which allows us to prioritize our needs, set realistic expectations, and experience greater resilience and well-being.

These are skills everyone can learn.
