    The 30 Day Sit - Day 2 - Expectations

    A note to free subscribers: don’t forget to upgrade to the daily subscription in order to stay with The 30 Day Sit all month long. Hello, friends. How are you? Our meditation today is similar to yesterday in that we are keeping things short, simple, and easy. The most important thing today is that you’re here. You’ve shown up. I think sometimes our expectations of ourselves and our ideas of what meditation is or is not can really hinder us from the practice. It can lead us to thinking we’re “bad” at meditation or our mind is too busy or this, that, the other thing. When really meditation is (at least in part) just simply the act of showing up. We show up to meditate. We show up to the breath. We show up when we’re distracted. We show up for the moment that we’re in. I think that’s part of the magic of meditation: every time we practice showing up again and again. With this, we aren’t being hard on ourselves. We’re letting things be light and easy: get distracted, simply return to the breath. No need for any commentary or judgment. Just the flow of breath and away and back again. I hope you can take a little something good from our meditation with you today. Thanks for being here. 💗 Take care. ✨Sessions are here to support you all week (and all month!) long. Find a time to talk more about meditation, find rest and healing, or find support. Tomorrow, I’ll send the link for the special 30 Day Sit sessions to offer further support this month. https://makespacemeditation.as.me/ This is a public episode.

    The 30 Day Sit - Day 1 - Showing Up

    Hello and good morning, friends. We’re starting off a new month and our 30 Day Sit today. I’m really happy that you’re joining me for these 30 days. As a reminder, if you are a daily subscriber, you don’t need to do a thing to participate. If you aren’t a daily subscriber, I hope you’ll consider joining me for this next month of exploring meditation practice. As you’ll see, we’re starting off these 30 days simply by showing up. We’ll get into more nuances of the practice like posture and intention over our days together. If you’re new to meditation or returning to your practice, this is a great place to start. For folks with a practice already, I encourage you to come in with a beginner’s mind. There’s always something new to learn, a thing to remember. However you’re showing up this month, the most important thing is just that you’re here. There is no “good” or “bad” in meditation, in my opinion, as long as that’s true. I look forward to practicing more with you tomorrow. Thank you, as always, for being here. 💗 Take care. ✨ Mindfulness and other sessions are available to help support your practice this month. Daily subscribers, look out for a link for a special session offering this month in the next couple of days. https://makespacemeditation.as.me/ This is a public episode.

    10.26.26 - Monday Morning Meditation - Quiet + Ease

    Hello and good morning, friends. Before we get into our meditation today, I’m excited to share that on November 1, we’ll start the 30 Day Sit. If you’re already a daily subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do to take part. If you aren’t one, I hope you’ll consider joining me for the full month. This is a great time to start, restart, and begin again with practice. I’ll be offering some extra options for a one on one check in through the month to help support you. And now to set the stage for our meditation, a little note from the last time I shared this meditation that still seems so relevant today. I’m thinking this morning about what it is to find this idea of quiet or ease in our wild world. To me right now, it feels like letting my shoulders relax, taking a few minutes to breath. It’s breathing deeply and being with the breath. It’s taking a moment to notice the sky. Maybe these sound right to you too or maybe there’s something else that comes to mind that might help your Monday be a little more calm and easy. Whatever you might need this Monday or this week, I hope our few minutes together can help you find it. Thank you so much for being here. 💗 Take care. (This meditation is from the archive. It was originally shared on 05.12.25.) ✨ As always, there are sessions available to help you go deeper with quiet and ease, a little care if you need it. https://makespacemeditation.as.me/ This is a public episode.
