Loving Kindness Meditation - 12 mins

Duration: 12 minutes

Description: This is a Loving Kindness meditation, which is a great practice to do daily in order to invite more kindness, compassion, and gratitude into your life.

The meditation consist of several phrases that are repeated several times to cover all beings- starting with self and moving through indifferent and even unfriendly persons. 

I will guide you through it and you are welcome to just listen or even repeat back out loud or to yourself. Eventually it is a good idea to memorize the text and complete the meditation on your own. I have included the words below so you have access to them.

"May all living beings be well, happy, and peaceful. May no harm come to them. May they always meet with spiritual success. May they also have patience, courage, understanding, and determination to meet and overcome inevitable difficulties, problems, and failures in life. May they always rise above with morality, integrity, forgiveness, compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom." - From the book Mindfulness in Plain English by Henepola Gunaratana

Guided Evening Routine - 24 mins

Duration: 24 minutes

Description: This video will guide you through an example evening routine to help you wind down your day and prepare for sleep. We will talk a little about what an evening routine is, go through a series of calming yoga postures, and do a brief meditation. I hope you enjoy and sleep soundly!

Guided Morning Routine - 27 mins

Duration:  27 minutes

Description:  In this video, I will guide you through a morning routine so that you can start your day with intentionality and presence. This is a simple, effective, and adjustable morning routine, which you can tailor based on your time and energy levels. 

Morning Routine includes the 3 M's:

1. Movement
2. Meditation
3. Morning Pages

These three elements have been the basis of my morning routine for the past several years. I add things in and take things out but these three actions are usually always included. 

I encourage you to try out this video, follow along, and then experiment with it to see what works best for you. For example, do you need less movement and more meditation? Do you want to focus on one element to start and then add others in later? And, most of all, enjoy starting your day off right!

Meditation on Trust

Duration: 12 minutes

Description: Instead of a yoga class video this week, I thought it would be nice to switch it up and offer a guided meditation on trust. In this 12-minute meditation we will explore trust - our trust of what is around us and what is within us. So, take a seat, find stillness, and enjoy trusting! <3
