Hi!
Welcome to your daily mindfulness.
My name is Cory Musscara, and I'll be
guiding you through this seven day series.
Each day, I'll share a short video
into meditation related to cultivating
resilience during challenging times.
And on that note, uh, chances
are, if you're listening to this,
it means you're going through
something difficult yourself.
And I just want to say, I'm proud of
you for at least taking the first step
to trying to take a proactive role in
your own life, in your own wellbeing.
We all go through difficult
events at some point in our lives.
It's just part of being human.
But few of us are able to reach
out for the proper resources
to help us navigate it.
And the fact that you're listening
to that, to this, means that you're
one of those people that, that knows
how to reach out when it's necessary.
So I'm happy to be on this journey
with you over the next seven days.
And this first meditation is,
is really just about making
space for the experience.
I don't know if this resonates, but at
least for me, and for a lot of people
that I work with, uh, when it comes
to experiencing something difficult,
the biggest pain that often comes
from it is the secondary suffering
that we add on top of the experience.
So what do I mean by
the secondary suffering?
Well, uh, an experience, a difficult
event is, is difficult in itself.
It's inherently going to be painful.
But have you ever noticed we can
add another level of pain to it?
The thoughts and the emotions
that we kick on top of it.
Why me?
How long am I going to be able to do this?
How long is this going to last?
Why did God do this to me?
All the secondary pain that we kick
on top of an already difficult event
and that extra tension just makes it
harder to get through, to navigate.
So when it comes to, to being with
uncertainty, confusion or difficult
times, I think the first thing that we
can do that's powerful for ourselves,
is just to give ourselves permission
to be human, to have the experience
that we're having, to acknowledge that
this is part of the human process.
We didn't ask for it to happen.
We don't have to like that it's happening.
But it's here, and can we at least
just take a deep breath into it?
Soften some of that extra tension
that we're caking on top of an
already difficult experience
and just make space for it.
Not pushing, not fighting, not
resisting, just acknowledging, this
is what the moment is like right now.
And maybe you can already feel
some of the ease that can come
with that kind of relationship.
We're going to talk more about
this in today'meditation.
But I just want to say again, well done.
Thank you for showing up.
And I'm excited to be on the
seven day journey with you.
I do trust that there's a lot of valuable
content in here for you, and I'm going
to take your hand through the process.
So thank you for your practice.
I'll talk to you shortly and take care.

Just a small sample of the life-changing 5-star reviews we get on a daily basis.
Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
