In this meditation we open our awareness to become vast like the sky, allowing both pleasant unpleasant experiences to appear and disappear without getting attached to them or judging them. Resting in each moment as it arises, we’re not trying to get anywhere…we are just witnessing with a soft, gentle, kind awareness all that passes by. Practicing this we can cultivate a sense of calm and clarity. Please note: If you are struggling with your mental health it's really important to seek professional help. These meditations are not a substitute for that but can be used alongside therapy to help to support you. For more on Carla-Jo and her work please see www.carlajo-mindfulness.com

First day.
I am feeling down today. Taking a few minutes has helped though I still don't feel very motivated. On with the day. Push on through.

Learning better habits
Peace of mind takes practice. It doesn’t come all at once.

Awareness, things come and they go
If I allow every sense to come, and since they all pass as well, allow them to pass, then I can become a clear space. An open sky. My frame of awareness can be naturally clear and all things that come will go too. I can be a witness, a window

Nice exploration of noticing sounds, sensations and thoughts and just letting them go. Learning to let go of any distraction is my biggest challenge. Slowly I am noticing positive change in that I can let go and not let all these distractions bother me at times. I am more mindful and perhaps that is my greatest ally.

You’re gonna die.
Our society is on tilt right now. It always has been, but the addition of social media and the internet has put it on an even more grand scale. What do you believe in? Not what you were told to believe in, not the beliefs that you kinda/sorta follow, no. What is tried and true in your life? You’re not being yourself. This fear of being judged or of someone calling you out or making fun of you is so ludicrous it’s almost funny. How do you value the opinions off others so much to the point where you’re not even comfortable saying how you feel? Do you think you need to be right ALL the time? Be yourself at all cost. It forces you to do and be what so many people in todays society are afraid of being, wrong. Be wrong. Literally, if you learn to embrace being wrong by being yourself you learn about not only yourself but about life much faster. You learn more by trying, not over thinking and being tolerated. Gain power over yourself by being yourself. Die on your own sword.

Letting thoughts come and go
Just as thoughts come into your head, they can also easily leave.
