Liz Teaches Meditation

We all think. Experts say we have 60,000 thoughts a day. To free ourself from worry, fear and anxiety we need to practice having a thought, recognizing the thought, and bringing attention back to this moment. Here I give you two present moment experiences (breath and body) to choose from as your anchor. I increase the time spent "meditating" to give you a chance to notice thoughts and gently guide...

Most of us are familiar with worrying. Sometimes we think worrying will prepare us for life, but it's not the case. To eliminate worry we must come back to the present moment and remind ourself that we are safe right now. I wish you less and less worry. Reach out for help with anxiety @lizteachesyoga Thanks for practicing.

For once you don't need to try, to exceed, to produce, to progress,....you don't need to do anything.  The continual "doing" is exhausting. In meditation we don't have a goal. We see what life is like if we let everything be. Give it a shot today. Thanks for your practice. Good luck out there :) — Let's Connect!

We're doing it all wrong! In order to reach our dreams we need to be prepared for the challenges we will face, vs obsessing about the actual end result. I find this manifesting practice revolutionary. Can't wait to hear about the goals you achieve and most importantly the journey you've had. Thanks for practicing. 

We spend most of our day thinking about what we think others are thinking of us. It is not?! Powerful. Let's spend time noticing how we are today, without comparison to others or how we were before. Thanks for practicing to think like yourself!

It's break time! Give yourself permission to spend half a percent of your day reflecting on how you're feeling. Trust me, it's worth your time! Thanks for practicing.

Meditation isn't fancy! Today we take a quick break to get back to the fundamentals of meditation. All we've got to do it sit, breathe and be.

IT sucks to feel burnt out - like we are giving too much all the time. A lot of us know what compassion fatigue feels like. Good thing is ... there's another perspective. We're always receiving. We receive breath and body sensations and kindness and sunlight. We can even receive gravity and be thankful for being supported by a chair or cushion or the ground. Today we tap into receiving and allow o...

#Trust.  I heard a great quote from Brene Brown that went something like, "You don't need to walk in someone else's shoes. You need to believe how they feel walking in their own shoes. And to do so, you must believe in yourself". Today we trust how we feel and we see that we can be with whatever that is. Trust me, you're gonna like this mindfulness meditation! Thanks for practicing :)

Mindfulness isn't a big production. It's not a mysterious state of mind and it's not something out of reach.  Key Takeaways : We focus our awareness on the exhale of the breath as a first step toward being mindful of this moment. Offerings : I’m so glad you found this meditation podcast. I’m Liz Gluckstern Frydman and I’m a clarity coach and meditation instructor with expertise in mind...

Acceptance doesn't mean complacency or denial and it doesn't mean we're a push over. Accepting opens up space in our minds and hearts for what's importance. It helps us move. Let go. Let's sit and accept this body and these thoughts and this moment as it is so we can let in the good.

Today's 5 minute practice reminds us that we don't need to fix anything to meditate.  By taking a moment to find a comfortable seat, taking a few deep breaths and noticing our experience we are on our way to freedom.  Enjoy and thank you for practicing mindfulness meditation @lizteachesyoga

Got thoughts? Lots of them? Can't seem to quiet the mind? Join the club! All this makes you human. I've got bad news - we don't meditate to stop thoughts and meditators are not fake people with no thoughts. We use meditate to become aware our thoughts. Meditation helps us see our thoughts content, their flavor, their charge and eventually we notice that thoughts change. They come and go. They aren...

In today's mindfulness meditation we see if we can tap into the feeling of spaciousness. We put down distractions and anything that pulls us away from feeling flow and we tune into space in the body and breath. This is a good practice to use during the day when you're feeling tight and constricted. I'm thinking of you all, sending love and freedom.

In this mindfulness meditation we move slowly from awareness of our breath and body, to feeling friendliness from another, all the way to atempting to feel love for ourselves. Set aside 10 minutes for self worth. It's always worth it. I love you all! Thanks for praciting!

Our brains are designed stick to the negative ... It sucks but we do it to survive. What does this mean for you? It means you need to consciously practice inserting positive thoughts when you're stuck in rumination.  As soon as you notice a negative thought just count down 5,4,3,2,1 to zap that thought in real time! It's quick, easy and free. Even a 2 year old can do it. Let me know how it go...

Waking up is hard but starting our day with gratitude can significantly orient our day towards the positive. In this short and sweet meditation you'll bring to mind those you love in a new and improved way. Have a great day!

I hate to break it to you, but you're not perfect. There is no such thing! We tend to think our body or our posture or our breath or our thoughts are supposed to be perfect but the reality is that's not possible.  Today we will practice having the most exquisitely imperfect meditation. Trust that you'll feel better once you let yourself off the hook :)

Recently I heard therapy explained In three parts.  1. Be vulnerable enough to truly feel your feelings  2. See if you can sit with the feelings  3. Change perspectives. I found this REVOLUTIONARY! In today's practice we open to the possibility of being with emotions, we touch into the experience of feeling (perhaps a more challenging feelings) and we shift our view so we can see ou...

Humans are story tellers. That's what makes us so unique. We use language to share experiences and connect.  Unfortunately we use the same story telling expertise to self narrate our lives. And sometimes the stories we tell each other (and believe) are mean and horrible and just plain incorrect. Here we see if we can catch ourselves mid way through a story so we can note the tone and the cont...

We're mostly always safe, but our brain tells us otherwise. Try this meditation when you need a reminder of how okay you are. Right now. In this moment. You are mostly okay. And safe. I'm sending love and safety to humans across the world. Thanks for listening all.

There's a lot going on globally. Sometimes, it can feel out of control. We can feel out of control.  Today we intentionally worry and then investigate how we are actually feeling - wether it's fear or anger or overwhelm. When you're feeling like there's chaos In the air, try and pour attention into your breath or body. Thanks for practicing and take a second to think of one small thing you ca...

We spend a lot of time up in our heads. In order to self regulate we've got to move our energy down. Try this practice when you're feeling anxious and need to ground in the body. Love you all! Thanks for practicing..
