Meditating in midst of the Coronavirus pandemic is not easy. It can be particularly difficult because many traditional meditations rely on the breath as an anchor, or focal point, for your attention. So the breath becomes the place you return to when the mind inevitably wanders. 

When we meditate on the breath, we settle on a place where we feel the breath moving (such as the nostrils, the chest or the abdomen), or we follow the whole breath in and out. Many will continue to find the breath a great solace and support at this time. But for some people, the breath may be a relatively uncertain anchor: the sensations of the breath don’t feel quite strong enough to hold their attention. This is especially true if you have an asthmatic condition, or a history of panic attacks, or are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19. 

To help you deal with such issues, we have produced a new collection of meditations that will help you explore alternative anchors for your attention; the feet, seat or hands. There are three versions of the Finding Your Ground meditation of different lengths..... Read more here http://franticworld.com/coronavirus/

I Live Yoga - Mona Warner - Balance (Yoga Nidra Meditation)

I created this meditation to assist a podcast listener who was having trouble with the guided breathing mediations on the A Quiet MInd podcast. Daniel has a condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy that requires him to use a machine for breathing. The concept was if  Daniel could just focus on a sound instead of his breathing, he would be able to relax without much effort on his part. This in turn inspired the concept to create an iPad app that would have guided meditations, images and relaxing sounds of nature to help people meditate, relax and be still. I'm still in the process of capturing the live sounds and images from nature, and I've become a student in the fine art of sound recording. The sound you here from nature have been recoded by Gordon Hempton sound recordist extraordinaire.  Here is his site:http://soundtracker.com/
