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!

Sometimes when you're feeling lost or stressed, and you don't know what to do, the answer is to do nothing. When you allow yourself to surrender completely to the moment, to give up actively looking for solutions, you take the pressure off of yourself and your busy mind. That allows your intuition to kick in, and to deliver the answer you need at the perfect time.

This meditation is an exercise in self-compassion. By gently breathing into any difficult emotion we are feeling, we allow that emotion to feel total acceptance. After that, it usually feels safe enough to release on its own.

It's true! Your life is bursting with blessings. Feel them wash over you in this joyful guided meditation.

When we’re experiencing a difficult emotion, we need inner resources to help us cope. One precious resource is the empathetic witness. This is a soothing inner voice that reminds you it is all right to feel exactly what you are feeling – and that you are okay, just as you are. In this meditation, you’ll begin to cultivate that inner voice, so that it is always available for you, whenever you are going through something challenging. 

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 a strong emotion, giving you more resilience as you step back into your day.

In our world today, we are subtly taught to focus on the flaws in others. But when we start re-training our brains to notice their goodness instead, we are actually investing in our own happiness. When we are able to notice others' virtues, we are better able to appreciate it in ourselves as well. That appreciation for goodness is what we will be practicing in this meditation.

Do you have a cherished goal you're working toward? Visualization is a powerful tool to get you focused and clear about achieving your goals. In order to "be it," you have to be able to "see it." Step into your best life with this powerful visualization technique.

If you're feeling neutral, or pretty good, you can get intentional about bringing even more brightness into your day. In this practice, you'll start with basic mindfulness, and then open up to lovingkindness and gratitude. Get ready to meet your happiness quota today!

On our path to inner peace, we start with where we are. We can't go directly from experiencing agitation to feeling joy. We first need to build a bridge to feeling better, and self-compassion is the best foundation for that bridge. When we attend to difficult emotions with tenderness, we can restore our natural zest for life, which often gets lost when our minds are clouded with worry or anxiety 

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!

When we meditate, we choose an "anchor" to hold our attention and coax our mind to stay still. In this meditation, you'll experiment with two different anchors: the sounds in your environment, and the sensations in your body. By zeroing in on those two aspects of your present moment, you'll train your mind to be fully aware of what is alive for you in the here and now. 

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.

Empathetic Joy is delight in others' good fortune. When we view the world through the eyes of abundance, there's not much we can fail to attract into our own lives.

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.

Lovingkindness 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.

Lovingkindness is the essence of a happy life. By generating boundless heart energy for ourselves and others, we open a gateway for more love to flow to us. In this mediation, you'll practice sending love to yourself, a loved one, a neutral person, and finally, the whole world.

The art of mindfulness is the ability to observe your thoughts without getting attached to them. In this meditation, you will visualize your mind as the sky on a clear, blue day. As thoughts come up, you'll watch them float by like clouds in your sky mind - without resisting them, without attaching to them, and without even thinking them. With each passing cloud, you will return your focus to that calm blue sky, allowing yourself to feel peaceful and calm before you step back into your day.

In this meditation, you will be holding a strong intention for healing for our planet. This can be a calming counterbalance when our world is going through challenging circumstances, and you might be feeling helpless. We will close the meditation by imagining others all around the world holding the same powerful intention for global healing.

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!

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. 

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.



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.

Unlike our minds, our bodies are always in the present moment. This meditation will take you out of your head space and into the physical sensations of your body, anchoring you in the present.

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.

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 in order 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.
