    A Journaling Practice to Help You Let Go of Limiting Habits with Caverly Morgan

    In a world filled with challenges and distractions, we often find ourselves repeating automatic reactions that once helped us survive but now hold us back. Mindful journaling offers a lifeline—allowing us to slow down, listen inwardly, and meet ourselves with compassion. Today, we’re refreshing a powerful journaling practice guided by Caverly Morgan, focused on letting go of limiting habits. With gentle prompts, Caverly invites us to explore inherited survival strategies, understand deeper needs beneath them, and nurture true belonging within ourselves. If you’d like more from Caverly, join us for an experiential practice collective based on Caverly Morgan’s transformational, practical and timely book, The Heart of Who We Are: Realizing Freedom Together. This interactive and experiential course will support you to connect your personal meditation practice to community practice, and to true and meaningful change.

    A Meditation for Coming Home to Yourself With Georgina Miranda

    In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions—from productivity and external validation to endless distractions—coming home to ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do. True resilience isn’t about pushing through; it’s about creating an inner refuge, a place of strength and safety that stays steady no matter what’s happening around us. That’s why we’re bringing back Coming Home to Yourself, a meditation guided by Georgina Miranda. This meditation invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strength. Georgina reminds us that while mindfulness can be a refuge in difficult times, its real power comes from regular practice. This meditation is an opportunity to reset, find stability, and ground yourself in the present moment. We’re also excited to share that Georgina has a new course with us: Reset and Let Go: The Freedom to Live Fully. This transformative journey will help you release what no longer serves you, reset your mindset, and step into a life of greater clarity and joy. Through guided exercises, journaling prompts, and mindfulness practices, you’ll learn practical tools to support real, lasting change.

    A Meditation for Collective Healing with Shalini Bahl

    In today’s interconnected yet paradoxically divided world, the path to understanding each other requires more than just good intentions. To truly connect and heal, we need something more: the cultivation of a deeper understanding. The path forward isn’t about eliminating differences—it’s about building bridges of understanding across them. In this gentle yet powerful meditation with Shalini Bahl, we experience how we are all shaped by our experiences, fears, and hopes. Deep understanding is like diving below the illuminated surface to deeper waters.  By understanding both what floats on the surface and what lies in the depths, we can begin to shift our habitual patterns and make choices that arise from genuine wisdom rather than reactive impulses.

    A Meditation to Widen Your Perspective with Nate Klemp

    This week, we revisit one of our Top 10 Guided Meditations of 2024, led by Nate Klemp, PhD. Nate, a founding partner at Mindful and the co-author of The 80/80 Marriage, brings us a powerful practice to help expand our perspective. In the hustle and stress of daily life, it’s easy for our focus to narrow, locking us into a tight, “soda straw” view of the world. This can make challenges feel larger than life, leaving little room for possibility or ease. Nate’s meditation invites us to shift our perspective—to move from this contracted view to a panoramic awareness.  We’re also celebrating the revival of Mindful Magazine with a special giveaway for our podcast listeners.
