In this meditation, we'll rise from the ashes, embracing the new life and opportunities that await us on the other side of this difficult time period.
Let's start, as we always do, by
finding a comfortable posture.
This could be sitting,
lying down, or standing.
And if it feels okay to do so,
you can let your eyes close.
We'll take one deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And slowly out through the mouth.
Inviting the jaw to relax.
And any other muscles in the face.
Let your shoulders be at ease.
And the hands and the belly.
Doing a quick mental body scan.
Seeing if there are any areas
in the body that are still
holding on, gripping, tensing.
And see if they're willing to relax.
Remember you can't force them to, but
you can offer them the invitation.
Letting the breath settle
back into its natural rhythm.
Placing one hand on your belly.
Just centering your
attention for a few moments.
With every breath, something
arises and something passes.
We're taking life in on the inhale.
Letting it go on the exhale.
And then that breath has gone.
It won't come back.
But there's a new moment, a new breath, a
new opportunity to show up with presence,
to choose our attitude of awareness.
So as you consider what you're going
through in your life right now, the
transition, the difficult experience,
the unknown, you can recognize that of
course we didn't ask for this to happen.
We don't want it to
happen, and it's painful.
But ask yourself.
What new life might emerge
from this experience?
What new learning, opportunity,
transformation, or even wisdom
could come out of this experience
if I allow myself to be open to it?
And see what arises in that reflection.
Remember, you can grieve the loss of
something and still be grateful for your
life and what could come out of your life.
They're not mutually exclusive.
So try to give yourself the
permission to see what might
come on the other side of this.
And if there's anything you feel like
you can do to facilitate movement in
that direction, imagine what that would
feel like or would look like for you.
We'll take one last deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And out through the mouth.
When you're ready, you can open your eyes.
Thank you for your practice.
And as always, 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.

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.

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.
