Learn how to observe thoughts WITHOUT reacting or getting caught up can help you, particularly if you tend to replay the same types of thoughts in your head over and over. What do I mean by that? Let's say you tend to replay a negative experience - making a bad experience last much longer. That habit doesn't help you. Learn how to observe through meditation to reveal these mental habits--like replaying bad experiences, worrying about future events, analyzing and self-judging past behavior.  Meditation practices like this can help you gain insight into these habits so you can let go of what doesn't serve or help you.

It can also be for those who say, "I've never meditated before." I guide you through this short easy guided meditation with mindful meditation cues. You can also use this exercise to launch your own continued meditation after I finish guiding the introduction


This short easy guided meditation offers a refreshing break as well as insight into your habits and yes, you can have mental habits as well as physical habits. Increasing awareness of your thoughts reveals those mental habits that may not serve you, that may heighten anxious feelings or that may perpetuate negative feelings. Use this exercise to bring more presence, loving awareness and acceptance into your life.

Mindfulness reduces feelings of anxiety and stress, as you spend less time lost in worries about the future or upsetting past memories. Learn to let go of bothersome thoughts with this mindfulness guided meditation. Learn to stop worrying about things that have NOT happened. You have everything you need to survive whatever experience that you are going through--in fact, you probably already have survived through many challenging experience. Trust your STRENGTH, not your fears.

I wish this for you in your life's journey.
