This is a wonderful meditation for quietening our mind when our mind is racing - when our thoughts are scattered - for refocusing our attention, and when we want to have clarity of mind, and calmness in mind and body. One of the simplest things we can do to create calmness is to focus our attention inward. As you bring your awareness inward onto your breath you begin to cultivate stillness, focus, attention onto a single thing. Our mind begins to slow, we begin to feel calmer; we realize we can gentle change how we feel by paying attention to how we breathe.

In this sleep hypnosis meditation, you are guided into a state of relaxation; using positive imagery, concentration and focus, to experience a heightened state of awareness; whilst feeling calm and relaxed in your body. The use of gentle suggestions engage your imagination and allow for soothing impressions that ease you into restful sleep. Enjoy this each night to help you journey into sleep. Namaste! xo In a study that has now been published in the scientific journal "Sleep," sleep researchers from the Universities of Zurich and Fribourg have demonstrated that hypnosis has a positive impact on the quality of sleep, to a surprising extent.

SAMADHI: to collect or bring together, concentration, unification of the mind; 'one-pointedness of mind' (in Buddhism).

In Buddhism, Sati (from Pali: सति; from Sanskrit: स्मृति smṛti) is mindfulness or awareness. It is this spiritual or psychological faculty of indriya meaning: physical strength or ability of the senses, that forms an essential part of Buddhist practice. Sati is the path and the destination of awareness and of 'remembering'; as in to remember presence and attention. In this final Part Three of 'Sati' - Mindfulness meditation, we begin with softening into our breath; to notice, and to hold observation. Mindfulness is a practice of pure observation in the absence of judgment. From here, consider what words of light and love you may say to yourself with every in-breath and out-breath. Continue to be watchful of all that you notice; to bring mindful attention to the words spoken inside your mind or perhaps aloud and to hold presence of this experience. This is your state of pure awareness. This is your path now to this moment and the next. So well done! 💜 Much love! Namaste!

This practice of Yoga Nidra guides you into a state of deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to heal and repair. Practice this whilst doing your best to remain awake and attentive; following my guidance as you bring presence into each moment; as you hold awareness as we move through the parts of the body and as you choose a sankalpa or intention, inspired by your deepest wisdom. Yoga Nidra is a little-known ancient meditation technique explained as transformational sleep. It evokes within you brainwave states similar to those in sleep, where the biology of your body is able to disengage from thoughts.

Relationships may be healed as you offer forgiveness to another, and as you offer forgiveness unto yourself. Your relationships may heal over a period of time, they may heal as you make peace with the situation, or the person even if you do not wish to continue in the relationship. Important to know is that you make the decision to heal a relationship and from this, you choose a different path, one of infinite pace - of sacred inspired kindness and love, and one in which you release the past; release what you have been carrying about that has happened that no longer serves you. Please enjoy the ideas and inspiration offered in this meditation to help heal your relationships! Namaste! xo /// Music: Hammock 'mute angels'

We train our mind by what we tell it. What we say to ourselves becomes what we believe. We retrain our mind to believe in our self by holding the feeling first of something that we believe to be true - a positive aspect of our self - so that we can identify what this feeling "feels like". This is the first part of our retraining. We then work with envisioning and feeling successful of whatever we doubt. In this way, we focus on the positive outcome of what we desire instead of the fear or doubt. Please use this meditation often to anchor your new feelings of confidence and to retrain how you think. Namaste!! with love, Dorothy Music Credit: Kevin Kendle - 'Oceans'

In Buddhism, Sati (from Pali: सति; from Sanskrit: स्मृति smṛti) is mindfulness or awareness. It is this spiritual or psychological faculty of indriya meaning: physical strength or ability of the senses, that forms an essential part of Buddhist practice. Sati is the path and the destination of awareness and of 'remembering'; as in to remember presence and attention. In part two of this three part series, we focus on breath counting. We use mindfulness to bring presence into this moment as we count an equal number of 'in-breaths' and 'out-breaths'; before gently giving rise to a natural progression of longer and slowed out-breaths, to quiet and calm the body and mind further. Mindfulness is a practice of pure observation in the absence of judgment. When you are ready, please join me in part three of Sati (Mindfulness)- 'Words of light and love'. Namaste!! xo

In this meditation, you learn how to go within for answers, for truth as a way of discerning what is right and best for you in any given moment. This is a wonderful heart-opening meditation as well, reminding us of our ability to connect and relate within, and to experience the wisdom of our inner knowing. We begin with an awareness of our sacral chakra since the sacral chakra is associated with the realm of emotions. It’s the center of our feelings and sensations. Opening your sacral chakra allows you to “feel” the world around and in you. As such, it’s an important chakra at the foundation of your feeling of well-being.

Experience inner peace deliberately as you choose a point of focus within your body and as you hold attention and awareness here. As you allow your breath to be directed into this area, feel the sensations of peacefulness throughout your body.

Practice curating gratitude each morning as mindfulness of what you are thankful for and of what you appreciate.

All of your power lies in the present moment; for you to choose using your free will.

SOME HELPFUL NOTES ABOUT WHAT MAKES MEDITATION SO BENEFICIAL... Any type of deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing — during which you visualize filling up the lower part of your lungs just above your belly button like a balloon, and then exhaling slowly — is going to stimulate your vagus nerve, activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and improve your heart rate variability (HRV). The brain interprets your diaphragmatic breathing as a sign to calm the body, and does so - quite instantly. Some people make time every day to practice diaphragmatic breathing as part of a yoga or mindfulness meditation routine. Others take a deep and conscious breath when they catch themselves feeling anxious or "panicky," as a simple and immediate strategy for when they want to gain perspective, or wish to relieve some frustration. All of these applications of diaphragmatic breathing are very helpful. Join me in this full length meditation, 'Meditate with Me' to experience a helpful meditation that you'll want to keep as a part of your regular practice. Namaste!!

Learn and experience how to change your current state of being into one of your choosing - and to maintain this new state with ease! We begin by first noticing how we presently feel and our felt sensations without "needing" to change them. We are mindful - attentive to what we notice - without judgment. Then, in full acceptance of how we feel - we discover the process for changing our state of being first by deciding - using the present tense - to state your desired way of feeling & being. We manifest this new state by feeling how we want to feel now and expressing our desires using the present tense and as we connect with the energy of our heart center. Use this meditation often to help you feel the way you truly want.

A wonderful 'first' guided meditation if you are new to the practice or a gentle reminder of the simplicity of meditation and how you may experience it easily in your life. SOME HELPFUL NOTES ABOUT WHAT MAKES MEDITATION SO BENEFICIAL... Any type of deep, slow diaphragmatic breathing — during which you visualize filling up the lower part of your lungs just above your belly button like a balloon, and then exhaling slowly — is going to stimulate your vagus nerve, activate your parasympathetic nervous system, and improve your heart rate variability (HRV). The brain interprets your diaphragmatic breathing as a sign to calm the body, and does so - quite instantly. Some people make time every day to practice diaphragmatic breathing as part of a yoga or mindfulness meditation routine. Others take a deep and conscious breath when they catch themselves feeling anxious or "panicky," as a simple and immediate strategy for when they want to gain perspective, or wish to relieve some frustration. All of these applications of diaphragmatic breathing are very helpful.

In Buddhism, Sati (from Pali: सति; from Sanskrit: स्मृति smṛti) is mindfulness or awareness. It is this spiritual or psychological faculty of indriya meaning: physical strength or ability of the senses, that forms an essential part of Buddhist practice. Sati is the path and the destination of awareness and of 'remembering'; as in to remember presence and attention. In this final Part Three of 'Sati' - Mindfulness meditation, we begin with softening into our breath; to notice, and to hold observation. Mindfulness is a practice of pure observation in the absence of judgment. From here, consider what words of light and love you may say to yourself with every in-breath and out-breath. Continue to be watchful of all that you notice; to bring mindful attention to the words spoken inside your mind or perhaps aloud and to hold presence of this experience. This is your state of pure awareness. This is your path now to this moment and the next. So well done! 💜 Much love! Namaste!
