This meditation was originally recorded while on vacation a few years ago. For the holiday week and the start of our summer, I thought it would be fun to revisit this ocean-side meditation. Short, simple and peaceful, this is a wonderful way to start or pause during your day. As we meditate together, we are reminded of the gift of meditation by this quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn,

Isolation, community, and meditation practice.

How does practicing something like meditation, a solitary practice, improve by practicing with others?

How do we continue to practice day after day? How does our meditation practice continue to nourish us long after it has become routine?

Happy Mother’s Day, mamas! This special meditation is just for you. A short 10-minute practice to nourish your heart, mind and soul. It is one of my favorite meditation practices, and I hope you enjoy it.

How does meditation continue to nourish us even as it becomes routine in our lives?

This month’s meditation series is an exploration of keeping our practice fresh and sacred over time, or starting a practice that feels integral to our daily lives.

Recently, in my readings, I came across this question, “what are you practicing for?” and it stopped me in my tracks.

Recently, I’ve had several students ask about meditating while angry, or anxious, or frustrated… What do we do when we are stuck in a difficult moment? Is it stop, drop and meditate?

This month, our discussion has centered around Reclaiming your Life. We started with reclaiming time; no longer playing victims to our calendar. Next, we reclaimed our bodies; no longer waiting for the magic cure to feel whole, but rather understanding wholeness as the invitation to re-inhabit our bodies.
