    Be Here Now: A Guided Meditation for Practicing Presence

    In our practice today, we use the imagery of sediments settling in water to gently separate ourselves from mental noise, worries, and looping thoughts. This meditation offers you a space to slow down, breathe, and let clarity rise on its own—without forcing anything. This meditation is inspired by the final piece in my Be Here Now art collection, created with natural pigments I foraged in Italy. Each painting in the series reflects the quiet courage of sitting with ourselves in the present moment. If you’ve been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or far from yourself, this guided practice is here to bring you back to center. ✨ Looking for more moments of calm?

    Trusting Your Inner Guidance

    In this episode, you’ll explore the mindful practice of trust—not the kind that forces certainty or assumes everything will work out perfectly, but the quieter trust that grows from learning to listen to yourself. You’ll be guided through a grounding meditation that helps you reconnect with the cues of your body, the steadiness of the breath, and the subtle intuitive signals we often override when life gets noisy. This practice is designed to help you develop self-trust, strengthen your inner clarity, and feel more anchored during times of uncertainty. This theme is also reflected in my “Be Here Now” art collection, including a piece titled Trust, created with natural pigments I foraged in Italy. The painting’s accompanying poem speaks to allowing life to unfold in its own time, echoing the gentle inner trust we practice in this meditation. If you’re craving a moment to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with your own wisdom, this episode will support you in finding that steady inner place again. ✨ Looking for more moments of calm?

    How to Accept What You Can’t Change: A Guided Meditation

    If you’ve been struggling with change, uncertainty, or wishing life looked different than it does, this episode offers a gentle, grounding pause. In mindfulness, acceptance means allowing things to be as they are in this moment, without rushing to fix, avoid, or judge what we’re experiencing. I share a brief reflection from my Be Here Now art collection, including the poem connected to the painting “Acceptance,” which explores the freedom that comes from releasing the “what if’s” and softening resistance. Then we move into a calming 5-4-3-2-1 guided meditation to help you come back to your senses, regulate your nervous system, and practice meeting the present moment with more clarity and ease. This episode is for you if you're craving steadiness, emotional space, or a reminder that you don’t have to fight every part of your experience to move forward. ✨ Looking for more moments of calm?

    A Guided Meditation for Impermanence

    Life is always shifting, often more quickly than we’d like. Moments of joy, connection, or ease can feel so precious that part of us wants to hold on tightly… and yet, like everything in nature, they change. In this meditation, we’ll practice living with impermanence, which is the concept that everything changes. Through breath, awareness, and a guided practice in gratitude, we’ll soften into the present moment rather than brace against what might be lost. This episode also weaves in inspiration from the Be Here Now art collection, where natural pigments and mindful creation become a visual reminder of how fleeting—and beautiful—each moment really is. If you’re craving a pause, a reset, or a reminder of your own capacity to appreciate what’s right in front of you, this practice is for you. ✨ Looking for more moments of calm?

    Riding the Waves of Grief

    Grief can take many forms — the loss of a loved one, the fading of a dream, and the changes in our lives. In this episode, we explore grief not as something to fix or resist, but as something to gently ride the wave of. Through the R.A.I.N. mindfulness method, we’ll practice a compassionate way to meet grief with awareness and self-kindness — to recognize what’s present, allow what arises, investigate with curiosity, and nurture yourself through it all. This practice is inspired by a painting from my “Be Here Now” collection — a series created with natural pigments as a meditation on presence and impermanence. One piece, titled “Grief,” reflects how love and loss are forever intertwined, reminding us that even in sorrow, beauty and connection remain. This meditation is about creating space for love, loss, and healing to coexist — and in that space, finding the possibility of peace. 💧 Download your free R.A.I.N. practice guide here → Download the PDF ✨ Looking for more moments of calm?
