Awesome job {fname}, see you back soon! -Christina

Learn how to transform your life and awaken your potential through the power of self-love.

Loving yourself is the key to unlocking your potential in all areas of your life – relationships, health, career, and overall happiness. It’s simply a matter of returning to who you actually are. At heart, you are pure goodness and well-being. So whenever you feel badly about yourself, it means your true essence is getting clouded over with false beliefs and negative stories. 

To clear away those clouds, you can start by accepting where you are at this moment. By embracing your full spectrum of emotions – whatever they may be – you begin to view yourself and others through the eyes of compassion. 

Each meditation on this channel helps you uncover another layer of your true essence, paving the way to inner peace, effortless abundance, and a joyful life.

We would love to connect with you!

Do you sometimes feel like your mind is spinning out of control? Are you constantly rehashing a negative experience from your past? Or rehearsing what you want to say to someone who has upset you? In moments like these, our thought patterns are actually contributing to our suffering – not alleviating it. And the best way to shift those patterns is to move into deep, wholehearted compassion for yourself. A mind entangled with difficult thoughts is so worthy of your own compassion and love.

When you're feeling stressed or anxious, everything seems to be moving quickly: thoughts race through your mind, and your heart may feel like it is going to explode in your chest. In this meditation, you'll intentionally slow down the breath, and then check in with your thoughts and your heart rate to see if they have also slowed. 

Underneath the busyness of our lives and our minds, there is a calm pool of stillness that we can always dip into. In this meditation, you will connect with that stillness, and go back to your day recharged and rejuvenated afterward.

Our default is to navigate life with our busy minds. How would today be different if instead, you chose to navigate with your heart? Turn your heart light on with this meditation and find out!

Perhaps there is someone in your life you love very much, and maybe you even want to strengthen your love for this person – to feel it even deeper. In this meditation, you will begin by amplifying the love you feel for yourself. Then you'll allow that wellspring of love to flow over to your loved one, strengthening the connection between the two of you.



Want to increase your happiness quota today? It may be as simple as tapping into the joy that others are experiencing. When you can do this with an open heart, it is an important corrective to feelings of envy. Envy suggests that there is not enough to go around. But when you can feel genuine happiness for another person's win, you are communicating a new belief in abundance Ð that there's more than enough happiness to go around, and that your wins are just around the corner!

Your heart and your solar plexus are key to your well-being. As your centers of love and life-force, they need to be nourished with your breath and mindful attention to stay vital. In this meditation, you'll imagine filling your heart and solar plexus with light as you breathe into them. Bring a little more aliveness into your day with this soothing and healthful practice.



When difficult emotions arise, we often experience something even more agonizing: a rejection of ourselves for feeling what we are feeling. Instead, what if our first instinct was to love ourselves even more fiercely whenever we feel stress, anxiety, or sadness? This meditation is a tribute to Matt Kahn's book "Whatever Arises, Love That," which directly inspired the words I am speaking.

We often notice our bodies when something is wrong with them. But how often do we pause to feel what is going *right* within our bodies? Bring some aliveness into your day today with this inspiring gratitude practice for your body.

In this meditation, you will practice the art of deep noticing. You will first bring your focus to your body breathing, and stay anchored in those sensations until you sense your mind wandering. When that happens, there is no judgment – only noticing. It's all okay. You're still in the circle of awareness.

Are you firmly in "doing" mode today? Find some stress relief by giving yourself three minutes to sink into "being." After you rejuvenate yourself, the action that you take today will be much more effective. Enjoy!


As humans, our default mental mode often looks like worry or stress, or at the very least, running through our to-do list. In meditation, we can shift that default mode by asking our minds to dwell on happier memories and experiences. The more you do this practice, the more you will change the neural pathways in your brain, and the more happiness you will welcome into your day.

Compassion is a strong concern for yourself and others when suffering. We all experience suffering, even if it is merely our everyday experiences of sadness, stress, or worry. By shining more compassion on yourself on the inside, you become a beacon of compassionate light on the outside as well.

Most of us begin our days in an uninspired state. We are running through our to-do list in our minds, or we may be resisting what we have to do that day. What if you could start your day in the most inspired state of mind you could imagine? How would today be different from other days? Dive into this meditation, and watch your inspired morning unfold!

Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts, not stopping them. If your mind wanders, you're not getting it "wrong." In fact, every time your mind wanders and you notice it, it is actually a moment of mindfulness.

In this mindfulness practice, we allow our attention to be easily caught by the feeling of the breath flowing, the sensations of the body, and the sounds in the room. We bring our awareness to these things without judgment, simply noticing them as part of the landscape of our present moment.

When our minds are racing, it's so easy to forget that we actually have the power to choose where we put our focus. In this meditation, you'll practice choosing the breath as your central focus over and over again. Consider it a "dress rehearsal" for sharpening your concentration in your everyday life.

When we meditate, it helps to have a peaceful anchor for our attention. In this meditation, you are invited to imagine your breath flowing in and out of your body with the rhythm of ocean waves. Wishing you a restorative practice.

There is a common misconception about meditation that it is all about "stopping thoughts." But that can be an exercise in frustration, since our minds are accustomed to thinking. Rather, mindfulness is about bringing our full awareness to whatever is present for us, including our thoughts. In this meditation, you will practice naming the kinds of thoughts coming up for you. You will learn how to be the observer of your own thinking, which ultimately will allow you to respond to events in your life with wisdom, rather than being in reaction to them.

If you're feeling great today, why keep it to yourself? Get ready to visualize an ocean of love and light expanding outward from your heart space and reaching everyone around you. Get your dose of love today!

Sometimes when we are feeling stress, anxiety, or sadness, those difficult emotions become amplified by the way we are thinking about them. We are resisting the emotion within us, which can make it feel even more intolerable. In this meditation, you will learn how to tone down the intensity of strong emotion, giving you more resilience as you step back into your day.

This meditation gives you a powerful visualization for practicing the art of mindfulness, which is observing your thoughts and feelings from a neutral perspective, without attachment or resistance. They are like the currents of the river rushing past you, while you, the observer, are like a rock in the riverbed. This allows you to stay anchored in a calm state of awareness, which you can then bring back into your day.

When you meditate, it is always helpful to have something to anchor your attention to. Usually, that is the breath. However, in this meditation, you will use the sounds in your environment as your attention anchor. This trains you to be more in tune with your senses, which can create a deeper sense of awareness in your everyday life.

This guided meditation will help you welcome into your life more gladness - a profound sense of being content with where you are right here, right now. 

Loving-kindness is a heart-opening practice. It is a strong wish for your own happiness, as well as the happiness of all living beings. Relax into this practice now, and feel your heart opening like a lotus flower.
