In this meditation, we'll explore strategies to help you become more patient in your work, relationships, parenting, and daily life.
Let's start by settling into a
comfortable posture, which could
be sitting, lying down or standing.
If it feels okay to do so,
you can let your eyes close.
And we'll take one deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And slowly out through the mouth.
Inviting the jaw to relax.
The shoulders can be at ease.
And the hands on the belly.
Letting the breath fall back
into its natural rhythm.
And in this meditation were going
to work with cultivating patience,
and at the heart of that is being
able to be with the moment as it is.
So the majority of this
meditation will be in silence.
My encouragement will be to explore
being very still in your body.
And when you notice that desire to
move or to shift or for it to be over,
just practice relaxing into that and
bring the attention back to the breath.
In this way, you're training yourself
to be with the moment as it is.
I'll give you some time in silence to
practice and see you at the finish line.
Noticing what you're feeling
in your body and your mind.
If there's any sense of impatience
or discomfort, practicing being
with that to see that we can
be with it and not react to it.
So as we come to a close, let's
take one deep breath together.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
And when you're ready, you can start to
move again and allow your eyes to open.
Great job.
So as you go about your day today, notice
when impatience arises and instead of
immediately reacting to it, become curious
about it, bring your awareness to it and
see that, Oh, you can stay here with it.
You can stay here with it.
So thank you for your practice.
And until we talk again, take care.

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.

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.

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.
