10-day Introduction to Mindfulness Program.

You can use this meditation when going on a nature walk or hike. It's a short meditation that guides you to be present with your outdoor environment. When the meditation ends, finish your walk utilizing the mindfulness tools that you were guided with.

In this meditation, you will recognize and express gratitude for people, things, and experiences in your life.

*If you don't know how to breath diaphragmatically, use our "Learn How to Breath Deeply" episode before beginning this practice.In this practice, you will take slow, deep, complete breaths at a full 5-second count inhalation and 5-second count exhalation, breathing at a 6 breath per minute pace. Studies show that decreasing breaths per minute (by taking longer inhalations and exhalations) is an effective way to maximize HRV (heart rate variability), which has been associated with better health and longevity in the general population.

When we are born, we naturally breathe diaphragmatically, allowing for a full oxygen exchange. As we age, we lose touch with how to breathe. This causes  us to hold onto stress and anxiety. Relearning and practicing proper breathing patterns will trigger the body's normal relaxation response, bringing us back to a state of rest and calm. Diaphragmatic breathing also maximizes the oxygen flowing in our bloodstream for reduction of stress and better health. In this episode, you will begin lying on your belly, then on your back, and finally seated, all while being guided to take deep, diaphragmatic breaths. 

This meditation is to help you relax the body and calm the mind to allow for a deep sleep. This can also be used during the day if you're feeling anxiety or stress to bring you back to a place of balance.

Dive into your heart center and offer heartfelt intentions to you and those around you. This guided Metta meditation will help you connect with unconditional love.
