Longer Meditations
Dynamic Breath
Imagine your breath is a healing wave, naturally moving in and out, without effort or force. Breathing in this way, your mind-body softens and settles as your breath flows freely.
Breath & Autogenic Relaxation Meditation
Autogenic training is a self-regulation technique where you silently repeat specific words and phrases in order to induce a state of relaxation and peace. This guided meditation leads you through a focused breathing practice followed by repetition of specific autogenic phrases to generate a state of calm, tranquility and balance.
Breath Mindfulness Meditation
This guided meditation is a classic mindfulness practice using the breath as the object of attention and concentration. Practicing mindfulness helps train the mind-body to embrace the moment without judgment or elaboration, and to be here now.
Heart-Centered Meditation
Cultivating positive emotions, such as love and appreciation, has been shown to regulate and balance the nervous system, and increase the speed of healing. In this guided meditation, you will connect to the innate wisdom of your Heart through the gentle practice of breathing into your heart, and then connecting with feelings of love and appreciation.
Loving Kindness (Metta) Meditation
The word Metta, is often translated as Lovingkindness. This practice of metta meditation can be used as an antidote to judgment and criticism, either towards ourselves, in the form of shame and humiliation, or towards others, through emotional states such as anger, animosity or resentment. Whenever we feel stressed, uptight, anxious or hostile, we do not feel safe. In this meditation, we repeat soothing affirmations and phrases, to open our hearts to feelings of kindness and love, settle the nervous system, and invite a sense of healing into our being.
Sensing into the Lower Abdomen Meditation
This guided practice begins with progressive relaxation as you lie on the floor training your muscles to soft. Next we imagine breathing from the lower abdomen while lying. Once you get a somatic sense of this, you can transfer this breathing to other postures.
