At times we worry and obsess over thoughts that loop over and over again within our minds. It becomes difficult to sleep to feel calm and centered. A way to work with this is mindful breathing. When you practice mindful breathing your mind can pause and take a mini vacation. When we slow down the thoughts we increase the quality of our being. It’s not about stopping thoughts but bringing awareness to thoughts and choose to obsess or be in the present moment.

Equanimity is the quality of awareness that fosters wisdom and creates inner balance. It teaches you to have a deep understanding of the nature of change and allows you to be with lifes change with insight and compassion. Equanimity arises from intentional observation and the ability to be aware of without being caught by what we see. When well-developed this gives rise to a great sense of peace. This practice may be profoundly helpful during this time of uncertainty.

Bring acceptance and kindness to oneself with this meditation. Why is it so challenging to love and accept ourselves? This is a common issue that people present to me during healing sessions. Most of us are continually striving, trying to prove we are OK, causing us to not fully enjoy our lives. We can be our own worst critics, which causes great suffering. We rarely feel we are good enough just as we are. This does not mean we stop growing and healing, but it does mean accepting who we are in this moment with kindness.

A bedtime calming practice is created to be done lying in bed. Does your racing mind keep you up at night? If so you may find meditation to be just what you need. With practice and regular use, you will be able to do this on your own. Sleep is the act of letting go, letting be just as it is in meditation. The practice of quieting mind/body creates a physiological response that invites sleep and relaxation.

We often have a fantasy that we can control life, if only we do all the right things - eat healthy, exercise, meditate, and enjoy friendships.

How can mindfulness help with anger responses? We experience anger most often when we feel threatened in some way, which can be physical, emotional, or spiritual. We all experience angry moments throughout our lives; it is a common human emotion. Lately, in our world, anger seems to be very visible. When there is so much anger in the news and in our lives, it is challenging to not get caught by it. I also address this topic on my coaching channel. This is such an important skill to have now.

Discover how to work with your feelings. It is natural to experience the full range of feelings. Studies show we have around 60,000 thoughts a day. Whether or not that is accurate we do know the mind never stops thinking. As you begin living with awareness you notice your self-talk. We become aware of how critical we are to ourselves and tend to not want to be with difficult emotions, but they are calling us to pay attention. We run into difficultly when we ignore these feelings, so in mindful awareness, we turn towards them.

Take a powerful pause. When you take a brief pause throughout your day it is like taking a mini-vacation. The act of pausing interrupts emotional thought loops. When we experience uncomfortable emotions such as anxiety or fear we typically attempt to force it to disappear. This in turn often increases our agitation. A more useful approach is to stop and settle into our bodies and become one with the breath. So join me here and let me know your experience.

Taking time to pause each day, even perhaps several times a day is like taking a mini-vacation to come home to yourself. It breaks the cycle of stress and anxiety and resets our ease of being. Please note that this meditation contains longer pauses so is an advanced meditation.
