Guided meditations to invite connection and call us home to presence.

Welcome to Your Home Within. My name is Mar, and I'm grateful you're here. 

So many of us move through our lives disconnected; from ourselves, our body, our needs, our soul. To live fully, on purpose and in presence is a radical act of rebellion in a world so demanding of our precious life energy and calling for us to continually prove our worthiness. Each moment we awaken to the fact that we have gotten lost or have removed ourselves from the life that is here, unfolding right now, is a moment of celebration, a moment in which we reclaim our misplaced power, calling it back home. 

There's no end goal on the journey of awakening and healing, no finish line and certainly no failure with the practices; you need simply show up as the beautiful, messy, perfectly imperfect human you are and together we'll carve little glimmers of presence amidst the chaos and compassion amidst the criticism. All of you is welcome here. 

I create these practices from the heart, informed by training in the worlds of MBSR Mindfulness, Yoga, Somatic Practices and IFS. It's an honour to guide you, for even just a few steps, on your journey home.

A gentle, healing spoken piece to call you home to your innate worth; to remind you of the hope and resilience that is always possible and always present no matter how dark things get. This poem is especially beneficial for any of us suffering from emotional or mental pain. May you remember your beauty and realize your strength.

This global pandemic has brought so much difficulty to lives over the world - to find ourselves in a place of burnout or struggle is so, so normal. These are extraordinary times that call for extraordinary self-compassion. Allow me to guide you to a place of softness, of tender self-acceptance, meeting the right places within our being with grace and love. 

This will pass. It's tough right now, but it won't be forever. Hang in there, my friend, brighter days are ahead.

Pandemic Burnout Compassion

In a world of judgment, comparison, and criticism, pausing to offer ourselves kindness and compassion is an act of loving rebellion. Each of us has within the mind, a voice that offers ongoing commentary about all that is bad or wrong about us, all the ways we're failing or falling short, even calling into question if we're worthy or loveable. Take a few moments now and allow me to gently guide you back to your heart, to the true essence of your being.

This is a healing poem to remind you of the strength of your own being; to reflect on all you have walked through, the pain and darkness you have encountered, and the magnificence of your beautiful light.

At times of stress and overwhelm, we can get caught up in patterns of overthinking and mental busyness. Taking just a few moments to come home to the body can be a powerful way to ground and reconnect, soothing an overactive mind and giving us space to find more clarity, calm, and peace. Allow me to gently guide you through this nourishing practice.

A short pause and gentle reminder. Our wounded parts will seek love in the most unlovable ways. True healing comes not from learning to transcend or get beyond them, but from learning how to invite them to sit alongside us - to gently turn toward them, meeting them with compassion and acceptance, and offering them the medicine of our wise presence. Healing is always possible. 

A Gentle Pause: Loving the Unlovable

Welcome, this meditation is designed for those new to the practice looking to carve out a little stillness and space amidst the stress and busyness of life. There is ample guidance, shorter pauses, and some background music to open and end the session. Based on mindfulness meditation, the practice will guide you to be with the breath and body, without judgment, to help draw awareness from the busy thinking mind into presence. Grateful you're here, may you find nourishment in the practice.

Anxiety is a very human response, to the chaos of the world, to the pain and wounding within our own being. Allow me to guide you back to presence, to re-orientate away from the thinking, anxious mind and into breath, into body, into peace. Healing is always possible.

Come Home. A healing spoken poem to help call you back to presence, to your soul, your True North. "Come back, my sweet love, call awareness back home. Gently turn toward the wounds buried deep in your bones. Softly cradle these parts as though tending a child. Grant them freedom to breathe, unrestricted and wild...."

A short gentle little grounding meditation - just 7 minutes - to help bring you down out of a busy, thinking mind and back in connection with the breath. A little can go a long way in meditation. A few minutes is enough to interrupt repetitive, overwhelming thoughts and give us some space, perspective and the ability to better manage.
