🩷 This 10 minute practice offers the perfect break for those moments when stress or anxiety begins to creep in. This is a new, reupload of one of our most popular meditations from 2023. Stress and anxiety are natural parts of the human experience, but often signal that our minds have drifted away from the present moment—worrying about what’s ahead or dwelling on what’s already past. This meditation gently guides you back to your center, grounding you in the here and now, reconnecting you with your body and the space around you.  During this practice, we move through 4-6 calming breathwork, comforting guidance, and positive reassurance that this too will pass.

🪷 This meditation is inspired by the practice of Zen, a tradition rooted in mindfulness, awareness, and presence. The goal is simple -  to have no goal. To observe things exactly as they are, without judgment, resistance, or attachment. Throughout this practice, we create space around the concept of awareness itself, gently guiding you deeper into the experience of the Self. While this is a mindfulness based meditation, its benefits extend far beyond these 20 minutes. Awareness is not something we practice only while in the midst of this practice,  it is something we carry into our conversations, our relationships, our decisions, and our everyday lives. I have found that the practice of awareness naturally creates more meaning, clarity, and presence. When we are truly present for whatever it is we are engaging in, life begins to feel richer. More connected. More intentional.  And perhaps most importantly, we begin to see things not as we think they should be, but as they truly are. :)  With love, Jo * No part of this meditation script, voiceover, or editing was created using AI. :)  __ Explore more from A Zen Mind  Join me on ⁠Instagram⁠ 💖  ⁠ azenmindglobal.com⁠ Ad-free, extended episodes, + more on ⁠Patreon⁠ Join the ⁠email list⁠  — Our Partners Mental Health Support: Talkiatry Online psychiatry with licensed providers and personalized, evidence-based care — all from home.

🤲 Affirmations are one of the most powerful tools we can use to shift our mindset, challenge our limiting beliefs, and reconnect with our inherent power of choice. During this simple affirmation meditation, we'll move through a series of powerful "I am" affirmations that will help you align your energy with success, self belief, confidence, resilience, and a positive outlook on life. These affirmations are especially great to listen to first thing in the morning.  This practice serves as a reminder that your thoughts matter, your mindset matters, and that you are capable of far more than you realize. You are worthy of creating, achieving, and attracting everything that you put your mind to.

🦚One of the biggest misconceptions about meditation is the idea that we must completely quiet or empty the mind. But the mind was created to think, and it will never simply stop thinking. So rather than forcing the mind to become silent, this meditation invites you into a gentler approach - shifting the relationship with what is present.  This is a mantra based and sensory oriented meditation, as we begin with an open eye awareness practice, and shift deeper together.  This practice was lovingly created to help you reconnect with presence, soften the over identification with the thinking mind, and cultivate a deeper sense of peace, awareness, and compassion within yourself.

🌷 This guided meditation is all about the pure love and freedom of self-acceptance. During this practice, we move through a gentle visualization to help you reconnect with the core of who you truly are, beyond expectations, pressure, productivity, or perfection. So often, we feel as though we need to be doing more, achieving more, or becoming “better” in order to deserve love and acceptance. But true self acceptance is the realization that your worth has never been something you had to earn. Together, we return to the truth of your inherent worthiness. We close this practice with a series of gentle promises to ourselves, affirmation style, allowing us to soften into greater compassion, freedom, and love for who we already are.

🚿 This meditation was created to help you let go of anything holding you back, reset your energy, and reconnect with your highest frequency. During this practice, we’ll move through an optional somatic exercise, breathwork, visualization, and affirmations, to help us release stagnant energy, and  elevate our frequency. So often, our bodies hold onto stress, negativity, overwhelm, and stagnant energy as a way of protecting us. Over time, the nervous system can begin operating from those patterns. This meditation is an opportunity to release what no longer serves you, reconnect with peace, love, and clarity, and realign with the light & grounded energy that already exists within you.
