A practice to remind you that no matter what happens and no matter where you find yourself, you can always reconnect to the stillness and peace within.
So preparing for this practice
of meditation by finding
a comfortable position.
Allowing your eyes to lightly close
now, if that feels comfortable
or simply lowering your gaze.
And bringing your awareness now to
the sensations of contact between
your body and the floor or the chair.
Feeling into the sensations
at the contact points.
There might be sensations of weight,
pressure, tingling, or textures.
And becoming aware of the
movement of breathing in the body.
Just feeling how the body is just being
rocked and cradled by the natural breath.
Allowing this focus on the breath
to be support in you arriving
here and now a little more fully.
And being aware of any sounds around you.
Searching out the most distant sounds.
And noticing the sounds that are close in.
And now just letting this awareness
of the outer world fade into the
background of your awareness and bring
your focus to observing thoughts.
And seeing if it's possible to
observe any thoughts that are
arising with a kindly curiosity as
they come, stay while, and then go.
So there's no need to try and
control your thoughts in any way.
Just taking the stance of an impartial
observer, just watching these
mental events pass through the mind.
And as you continue to be aware
of these mental events coming
and going in awareness, just
take a moment to acknowledge.
There are other thoughts
and here I am watching.
I am not the thoughts.
And see if you can take a moment to
notice that silent field of awareness,
in which all things come and go.
This awarenes, which every thought
arises into and dissolves back into.
So just noticing the silent beingness
at the core of your experience.
Can you get a sense of just relaxing
into that still peace that's there
at your inner most being and just
letting everything else just be?
Just letting everything unfold as you
relax into this silent field of awareness.
And taking a deep breath in.
Exhaling, and beginning to
wriggle fingers and toes.
And just notice how you feel after
taking this time out for meditation.
And as you get ready now to go
about the rest of your day, just
remembering that no matter what
happens and no matter where you find
yourself, you can always reconnect
to the stillness and peace within by
just taking a moment of mindfulness.

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.
