This meditation is a self-inquiry practice, designed to increase self-awareness. See yourself clearly and deepen awareness of your patterns, habits and beliefs, so you can begin to accept yourself just as you are. From a place of deep self-acceptance and self-compassion, we can create real change in our lives.

Self-inquiry meditation practice increases self-awareness and acceptance of patterns, habits, and beliefs, leading to self-compassion and real change.

See Yourself Clearly

When we are beginning a meditation practice, we tend to have the idea that sounds are a distraction, and we desire a perfectly tranquil, or soundproofed setting for our spiritual endeavors. Well...get over it! Learning how to be with the present moment, exactly as it is IS meditation. If sounds are part of that present moment, use them as an object of focus to help turn your attention inward.

Don't consider sounds a distraction while meditating; use them as an object of focus to help turn your attention inward and learn to be with the present moment.

Awareness of Sounds

In this meditation, you will be guided through a simple practice designed to remind you that where your attention goes, your energy flows. We will create what is known as an 'energy ball,' so that you can deeply connect to this, on an experiential level. In time, this knowing will inspire you to mindfully direct your attention, choosing thoughts and actions carefully, so that you are aligned with whatever you are seeking to energetically manifest in your life.

Meditation to create an 'energy ball' and direct attention, aligning thoughts and actions with desired energetic manifestation.

Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows

It's so easy to wish that our lives were different - that we had a different job, lived in a different place or had a different partner. This is so often our pattern - break free of that pattern by acknowledging it when it arises and consciously cultivating gratitude.

Break free from wishing for a different life by acknowledging the pattern and cultivating gratitude, suggests the author.

Awareness of Thoughts

This meditation is a simple, soothing, focused breathing practice that will help you learn a new way to quickly shift your state of mind. To begin, we will become aware of our natural breath, and then we will begin to breathe consciously - expanding the breath to create a 3 part inhalation - abdomen, chest and upper chest, followed by a long, smooth exhalation. *With this practice, it is important to go at your own pace, so there is no straining around the breath*
