Short guided meditations for modern lives.
I'm sure you know the feeling of having to split your attention between a demanding job and a busy family life, balancing social life, trying to keep healthy and fit. Nowadays it's hard to find time for ourselves. Here, you have an opportunity to pause and calm the mind, focus, relax and to connect body and mind. Mindfulness meditation can bring you the shift towards a greater wellbeing.
All the meditations are developed by me and created for the everyday life, from a wide variety of sources, with no religious ideology. It's just me being me. Welcome!

Open to the Present Moment
Hi friends!
Today I'll guide you through an open attention practice, and this is perfect for you to pause for a few minutes and notice the present moment.
Open your awareness to whatever arises: thoughts, sensations, emotions, sounds, smells. And meet whatever comes with kindness.
Take good care of you,
Manuela

Exploring Your Self-Critic
Hi friends!
In this guided meditation we will explore our self-critic.
We will start by bringing awareness to our breath or to the sounds around us, and then evolve to notice our self-critical thoughts.
We can use mindfulness to be aware when we have those self-critical voices and bring a sense of kindness towards ourselves, and this will increase our ability to regulate emotions.
We use mindfulness practice to not judge ourselfs, to not judge ourselfs for being judgmental, and just noticing judging.
And PLEASE don't forget to bring a kind attitude to yourself for the judging thoughts, if they are present.
Take good care of you,
Manuela

Hi friends! This is a short practice to invite compassion for ourselves.
As human beings we all have moments of difficulty, challenge, or suffering.

Simplesmente Parar
Mindfulness é ter atenção ao que se está a passar dentro e fora de nós no momento presente. E isto começa como uma coisa muito simples: Uma pausa.
Nesta meditação convido-te a parar. A carregar no botão da pausa por uns minutos, e a notar como é estar totalmente presente neste momento. Toma bem conta de ti!
PS. - First meditation in Portuguese! I hope you enjoy it!
