So often, in our lives, we get bogged down in the negative thinking so much that we can convince ourselves that nothing good will ever happen, the the only thing possible is disappointment. This is because over time we have convinced ourselves to only believe in the negative. But there is another side of possibility and in there lies all the hope and good we can see in our live. The only thing that changes is what we choose to beli...

In between stimulus and response, there is a space. There is a space to be found in between our thoughts. There is a space between inhale and exhale. We call this place The Gap. The gap is where we feel present and aware. Not thinking, not worrying, just absorbing and observing, just living in that space of pure conscious awareness. This meditation aims to help the meditator find their way into that space through practice of breath...

So many times we find ourselves getting stuck in negative and unproductive thought patterns. If we aren't careful or mindful of this, we could easily sink further and further into despair. Mediation can help us reset our minds and recalibrate our day just by taking a few moments to ourselves to watch our breath.

As we go through our daily life we have things happen to us and it can be hard to remember that the things that happen to us do not have to define us. What matters most is not what happens to us but how we respond to what happens to us. This meditation aims to help the meditator return to balance.

When we talk about meditation, very often we say things like "awareness" or "consciousness" and we can very easily brush past what any of those things mean or feel like. This meditation hopes to help the meditator become more familiar with our true self, the part of us deep down inside that is just witnessing and observing our thoughts and feelings through out our day through active listening.

The saying goes "Expectation leads to disappointment, which leads to suffering". Yes but how do we deal with those feelings? How do we push past those complicated emotions because it is hard to go through life without becoming attached to the things we care about most? Breath, my friend. It is through the breath.

This meditation hopes to encourage you to take a few moments today and every day to just heal through the quiet persistent, never-ending present moment of our breath.

As we go through life, very often we can be critical of ourself for the mistakes of the past. We all have something we beat ourselves up over but it is only after we find a way to forgiveness that we can move on and find true happiness in our life. This meditation hopes to help with that process.

We have 60K-90K thoughts a day and half of those thoughts are repeated from the day before and then half of those thoughts are negative thoughts. Over time, these repeated thoughts add up to what we think of as our personality, our truth, our reality. But what happens if we don't like our situation, personality, or reality? What if we desire change in our life? That only happens when we change our perception of reality through our ...

As we go through our lives, all the stressors, anxieties, bumps in the road, past traumas all add up and begin to sort of paint us into a corner and sometimes it feels like avoiding them will make them easier to deal with. Out of sight, out of mind...but over time we begin to see that there is no avoiding truth because what tends to happen is instead of avoiding that thing we are pretending doesn't exist, we end of fixating on it. ...

Meditation imitates life in so many ways. When we face set backs, road blocks, or failures in our path, so often the only thing left to do is begin again. Just as in meditation when we find our mind wandering, we have to be mindful of it, acknowledge it and return to our breath. Begin again. This meditation aims to remind us that no matter what, there is no such thing as failure, so long as we keep going.

We get stuck in moments of being upset, let down, depression, anxiety and in those moments we start to think of our current situation as just how we are or "this is just who I am" and we get used to seeing ourselves that way and forget that may be true now but doesn't have to be true in the future. Visualizing our future can be a powerful way to see another version of ourselves that may be true now but can be true tomorrow. How do ...

When we were born, we we born perfect. As we grow older and life begins to happen to us, we can very easily lose sight of our perfect true self. But the truth is that authentic, true version of ourselves never really leave us, it stays within. Our true self, our consciousness, our awareness is always there observing. This meditation aims to help us reconnect with our true self through our breath.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the ...

In this relaxing meditation, we slow things way down with a full body scan. We will use our breath to focus our energy and attention on specific areas of the body, tuning in to them one by one, relaxing each area as we move our way through the body. As we follow our breath in and out, we find a way in to the only true moment, the present. This meditation is intended to help you unwind at the end of a busy day or even just to take a...
