The Stillness Podcast

For my birthday, I wanted to bring one of my circling ideas to life! Being inspired by the fantasy I've been reading, I wanted to combine the creative wanderings with meditation. So here is a yoga nidra ("yogic sleep") practice to help bring you some deep relaxation as you wander through the Enchanted Forest in your mind.

In this episode, Alex talks about how talking badly to ourselves about our bodies can affect the rest of our lives.

She leads us through a meditation to help identify, accept, and transform all the ways we talk badly towards our bodies. Her goal is to help you move through negative body image into a place of love and acceptance.

We hope you enjoy!

I’ve gotten about 5 different emails with the subject line “new year, new you”: each one of them trying to sell me something that will…turn me into a different person?

What if, instead, we took a moment to appreciate the parts of ourselves we actually like — parts that we’ve already improved?

Join me in a body scan and a contemplative meditation on finding things your proud of yourself for this year.

For today’s winter solstice, I invite you to light a candle for yourself and join me for 15 minutes of guided meditation. This is a soft letting-go to make room for love from the self and the world around us. With the holidays here, it’s easy to get lost in giving and preparing. Making room for the self, even only 15 minutes, will allow you to show up as a more loving version of yourself.

Do it for you, and do it for the ones you l...

Metta, or loving kindness, when practiced regularly, will decrease negative emotions to the self or others. I find sometimes when I’m grouchy (yes, yogi’s get grouchy), that the world seems to reflect that back at me. The same happens when things feel good. Try this 12 minute meditation to see how loving kindness can reflect back at you.

Lay back and indulge in these next 20 minutes. Focusing on the body is a great fast-track to relaxation. It allows you to get into the present moment while the past and future melt away. Try this for a reset, or before bed!

10 MINUTE MEDITATION

You might be saying "Oh jeez, another breath meditation?" BUT I chose to start here because everyone who is alive can breathe. Anyone can change the trajectory of their day just by taking a couple minutes to watch the breath. There is no such thing as perfection with meditation. There is no goal to turn off your thoughts. It is all about friendliness and patience with the self for trying -- you might even feel ...
