Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
In today's session, we're going
to talk about the transformative
power of negative experiences.
So when I reflect on it nearly
all of the most transformative
moments of my life were preceded
by great pain, fear and confusion.
And I imagine that's true or at
least somewhat true for you too.
But we often forget this truth in the
moment of present difficult experiences.
So I'd like to walk you through a
short reflection and this you could
do with your eyes close if you'd
like, if you feel comfortable.
So just start by thinking back to a
transformative life experience you had
that was preceded by some discomfort.
Once you have that in your mind, reflect
on how you felt in the months, weeks,
days, and even hours leading up to that
transformative moment or that experience.
Notice how it felt, the
discomfort, the pain.
Now bring to mind something you're
currently going through that feels
difficult, challenging, or confusing.
This could be big, or it could be small.
And then notice, are there overlapping
feelings that you're experiencing now
that are similar to this past experience,?
Fear, uncertainty doubt?
And can you remind yourself that
these are a natural part of growth
and perhaps that you're about to
enter a new chapter of your life.
Take a moment to feel into this
recognition, breathe it in fully,
and just hold it in your awareness.
This new orientation.
This respect for pain
discomfort, the unknown.
If your eyes have been closed,
you can let them open again.
I hope this reflection helps you shift
your orientation to whatever it is
you might be going through right now.
We tend to forget that we've gotten
through some difficult things.
And we also tend to forget that
those difficult things often lead
to some sort of positive growth.
So hope you could take this
with you into your day.
Thank you for your practice and let's
settle in for today's meditation.

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.

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.

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.

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.
