Even the most experienced mindfulness teachers and professionals face self-doubt. Often times, questioning their abilities, wondering if they are guiding others “correctly,” or feeling like they aren’t enough. But what if confidence isn’t about perfection, but about embracing authenticity?

This guided meditation from Mindfulness Exercises invites you to release the weight of self-doubt and step fully into your unique presence as a mindfulness teacher. Through breath awareness, visualization, and self-compassion, you will be encouraged to trust yourself, embrace imperfection, and embody confidence from within.

In This Guided Meditation, You Will Be Invited To:

✔ Observe self-doubt without judgment and gently release it.

✔ Reaffirm your authenticity as a mindfulness teacher.

✔ Cultivate confidence through mindful breathing and visualization.

✔ Embrace imperfection as part of the teaching journey.

This meditation is for mindfulness teachers, facilitators, and professionals seeking to step into their role with greater ease, trust, and presence.

SPEAKER_00 (00:36):
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable space where
you can sit undisturbed.
Settle into a position thatallows your body to feel both
relaxed and alert, whetherthat's sitting cross-legged,
lying down, or in a chair.

(00:57):
Close your eyes gently and takea moment to just be.

(02:21):
Approach teaching with humilityand openness and let every
experience deepen your practice.
Now take a deep breath in andslowly breathe out.

(02:48):
Repeat this a few times,observing the feel of the air
entering and leaving your body.
This is your anchor, your homebase.
Whenever you feel lost oroverwhelmed, come back to your
breath.

(03:19):
As you continue to breathedeeply, notice any thoughts or
feelings that arise.
Perhaps it's a fear ofmisguiding your clients or a
doubt in your abilities as ateacher.
Recognize these thoughts andfeelings, but don't judge or try

(03:41):
to change them.
They are not wrong or right,good or bad.
They just are.
They are not you.
They are simply experiencespassing through your
consciousness.

(04:14):
Now I want you to imagine thesethoughts and feelings as leaves
floating down a stream.
You are the observer on the bankwatching them pass by.
You don't need to jump in andgrab them, just observe them
float by.

(04:36):
This is your mind, a constantflow of thoughts and feelings,
and you, the observer, areseparate from this flow.

(04:58):
As you watch these leaves, thesethoughts and feelings,
acknowledge each one.
I see you, fear.
I see you, doubt.
Give them space to exist, butdon't let them define you.

(05:20):
You are not your fear.
You are not your doubt.
You are the observer, thecompassionate, non-judgmental
witness.

(05:47):
Now, as you continue to breatheand watch the leaves float by,
bring your focus back to yourbreath.
With each inhale, imaginebreathing in acceptance,
authenticity, and confidence.
With each exhale, imaginereleasing fear, doubt, and

(06:12):
insecurity.
Feel the acceptance filling yourbody, your mind, your spirit.
You are enough just as you are.
You are authentic.
You are capable.

(06:36):
Now imagine the confidencegrowing within you like a flame
being stoked.
Let it warm you, strengthen you,empower you.
This is your true self, yourauthentic self.
Hold on to this feeling, thissense of innate power and worth.

(07:00):
This is who you are.
This is who you always havebeen.
Let this authenticity andconfidence permeate every cell

(07:25):
of your body, every corner ofyour mind, every part of your
spirit.
You are a teacher, but first andforemost, you are a human being
on your own journey.
You are worthy.
You are enough.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
