The Inward Journey - Guided Meditations

I know the feeling of swirling thoughts and a loud, anxious, overthinking mind. Even though our hearts and our bodies are tired, sometimes the mind keeps going. We can slow our breath down and remember our agenda at the end of the day is to let go and allow ourselves to experience the peace of rest. You are worthy of deep sleep.  You are worthy of being free from anxious thoughts. You are worthy o...

When was the last time you asked yourself questions and really listened? We often reach outward to be listened to and we wait to be asked questions. In this meditation I will guide you through asking yourself a series of questions and simply sitting with what answers arise. It is a gift to be seen and heard by you.

Why are you rushing your way through life? (I often ask myself the same question) My friend, busy is not your purpose. You are free to slow down. This meditation will help you slow down and be here for your life by regaining your presence, feeling the power of stillness and reconnecting with your breath. Join me for Live Meditations, Courses, and more on the free Insight Timer app. Join the Waitli...

You cannot heal if you pretend you are not hurt. Slow down and check in. How are you, really? What is going on within?  Slow down and reconnect with yourself.  Slow down and hold space.

Did you know your breath can be your own greatest medicine? I am excited to share with you a new powerful breathing technique I've learned. I feel a shift in energy and awareness and I hope you will too. This meditation includes breathwork. Please  listen to your body and slow down the breathing if it feels like too much and consult a doctor if needed/you have concerns. Join me for Live Medit...

When was the last time you sat with yourself and got quiet enough to hear your own insight? This meditation is unique because I share a quote by Brianna Wiest that really feels like a powerful reminder for when things feel challenging.  It's a reminder of the invitation. You will have time to sit with the quote and listen to your inner knowing. I hope it is a beautiful process of allowing the...

This meditation is for you (and me) whenever you are feeling fearful. You can and will rise above the fear within you... because most often we suffer more from imagination than reality. What if it all goes really well? What if fear is lying to you? What if there is something greater waiting for you on the other side of fear? By the time this meditation is out I will have gone skydiving (!!!!!) Che...

Yep, I've been there too... reacting in a not so great way to a stressful situation or being judgmental toward myself and others.  Would you believe me if I said that there is a version of you that is called your Higher Self just waiting within you?  This version of you chooses how to respond versus react and is full of acceptance. This meditation will help you remember you are always becomin...

My friend, I know sometimes our feelings arise and we want to push them away and avoid them. What you resist will only persist. The best thing you can do for you is give yourself full permission to feel. You have to feel it to free it. It's time to remember it is safe to express your feelings and you are allowed to feel. This meditation will help you drop in and allow yourself to feel all tha...

(I originally created this meditation for my students in my Meditation Teacher Training and thought everyone could probably benefit from hearing it—I hope you enjoy!  We've all experienced it...  You start something new and step into the unknown. Maybe it's a training, a new job, a new group, or a new way of showing up for yourself. At first, it's exciting, right?! Then the self-dou...

Wake up and feel anxiety and dread for the day ahead? This meditation is for you. My friend, you woke up today and that should be celebrated. And because you're reading this, you've made a conscious choice to start your day differently.  And you can.  Let's soften into the present moment as we find comfort in our breath. Embrace gratitude for the new day and welcome a new sense of p...

Meditation is not just a practice in the mind. Meditation can be a practice in the body, too. In this meditation, I want to help you drop into your body and release stuck energy. We'll work through some gentle stretching and movement while breathing deeply, increasing our awareness, and observing the mind and body connection. I hope you'll join me in this safe and powerful practice to he...

We all know that feeling... Something happens during the course of our day that irritates us or throws off our energy. It's especially difficult when we're striving to have a clear, joyful, present energy for a specific event or gathering.  This meditation is for you to clear your energy after something happens that triggers you or impacts your energy in a negative way. My friend, don&ap...

The shame, the embarrassment, the anxiety, the ruminating thoughts... All these things can come from a vulnerable moment of sharing your emotions or even leading and sharing your thoughts/personal ideas. My friend, you are not alone if you find yourself feeling this way. In fact, I made this meditation for me as much as I made it for you because I experience these feelings often.  This meditation...

In the final part of my Foundation of Meditation series, we'll explore what it looks like to make meditation a way of life.  Remember: Meditation is more than just a practice, it truly is a way of life. Wherever you go, your meditation practice follows.  Making meditation a way of life includes the continuous practice of: - Coming back to the present moment - Returning to your breath - Notici...

Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling off or down about yourself? It's usually because there are limiting beliefs that live in the subconscious mind and therefore run our lives.  These limiting beliefs are thoughts that we believe that limit us and keep us small. My hope is this meditation can help you really see what is holding you back and help you feel more free and empowered. Join me for...

In Part 3 of this Foundations of Meditation Series, we're focusing on the present moment. There is so much power in the present moment. There is so much waiting for us in the present moment. Yet most days we are never really here... This meditation is a reminder that the practice is all about returning to the moment again and again and recognizing that right here is all we have. Tune in for P...

When was the last time you took a few moments to check in with yourself? So often we go go go through life and feel like we're "too busy" to slow down.  This meditation is for those times. My friend, the only way to go forward is to go inward first.  We can't keep going without checking in on ourselves. Join me in this meditation to hit the pause button and spend a few minutes...

In Part 2 of this Foundations of Meditation Series, we're focusing on the breath.  The breath is a tool. And what's magical about this tool is that it's always available to us. When we slow down our breathing, we shift our nervous systems into the parasympathetic state for a more peaceful inner world.  In this meditation, we'll focus entirely on the breath and I'll lead yo...

We don't experience change for no reason. Through change, we have an opportunity to grow and transform into something and someone we've never been before.  When things are changing and so much feels out of your control, how do you respond? So often we become resistant to change that comes our way and when we resist change, it can leave us hurting. When we try to control our lives and sto...

People tend to think that meditation is about controlling or changing what they are thinking... and it's actually quite the opposite.  In this new series, I'll be using meditations to share some of the foundational elements of this practice. Every Monday for the next 4 weeks, the meditation I share will be focused on introducing another foundational part of the meditation practice. Today...

I have felt it too, my friend... the ruminating thoughts, the anxious negative thought spiral, the loud inner critic... Our minds are capable of incredible things and can also create the thoughts that become the cause of our anxieties. When we spend so much time thinking, we can easily create patterns that no longer serve us. We have to remember we can slow down the mind and influence these recycl...

Sometimes illness can be our body's way of communicating that we need rest. That's been the case for me this week and as difficult as it's been to heal, it's been a powerful reminder of just how good rest can feel. Have you been listening to your body? What might it be trying to tell you? Today's meditation is about tuning into your body and remembering that resting is a p...

When we experience feelings like insecurity and sadness, we tend to want to quickly fix them. Like they are 'bad' feelings and we need to get rid of them as quickly as possible.  What if instead you sat with the pain and held your tender heart? What if that might feel different or lead to more compassion and understanding toward yourself? Maybe in order to feel something different, you n...

How often do you feel a rush to get to the next point in your life or fast forward to a future state? I don't know about you, but when I feel that way, it's exhausting.  This meditation is for those times. When the weight of wanting to be somewhere or someone else and the heaviness of feeling behind sets in. You are right on time. There is no rush. You are exactly where you need to be. J...
