    Breath Awareness Meditation

    This week's meditation is all about taking some time to simply breathe. I guide you through some different ways to focus on your breath. And then there is an opportunity to simply sit and be and breath. This is a perfect way to reset at the start of nap time, start your day with calm, or unwind at the end of the day. Meditation begins about 1:45. If you like this practice share it with a friend! You can get new episodes in your inbox by clicking here You can find me on Instagram here

    A Meditation for Overwhelm

    Guided Meditation to Check-in with Yourself

    Today's meditation is inspired by a practice from my favorite book called Awake at 3 am. This book has been a game changer for me in finding little ways to check in with myself and reset throughout the day. This practice leads you through a scan of your body, mind, and heart, giving you the opportunity to simply check in with yourself and see how you're feeling. Learning to tune into my body in this way has helped me catch my warning light before we get to full-on raging mom or meltdown mode. My hope in sharing this practice is that you can come back to it again and again and eventually not need my voice guiding you through it, but simply be able to walk yourself through the practice. One other thing I love about this practice is we don't actually work to change how we're feeling, but rather take notice of it and sit with it, which I find I often feel better just giving myself the space and time to feel what I need to feel.
