In this meditation we train in resting in 'being' mode and unwinding stress and tension.
So just settling into your
meditation posture now.
And when you're ready, just
allowing your eyes to gently close.
And now just bringing the fullness
of your attention to the feeling
of the breath moving in your body.
And really letting this moment be
center stage in your awareness.
And seeing if you can get a sense of just
letting everything else drop away into
the wings so that all that's left is just
this moment, and the focus on the breath.
And as you follow the breath and
motions, sensations and thoughts may be
coming and going just like the weather
comes and goes in the sky, no problem.
Just whatever's moving through
here now, just letting it come and
go, letting it be just as it is.
So there's no need to try and control
anything or push anything away.
We're not trying to fix anything
or change anything at all here.
Just allowing the flow of experience to
be just as it is, and resting attention
on the feeling of the breath in your body.
For many of us, it can be hard topause from all the urges to fix,
solve, and change things around.
So you might find your mind is constantly
racing forward, doing your to-do list,
planning a conversation with someone or
thinking about a goal you could attain.
Or maybe the mind is thinking about
fixing your imperfections, becoming
something better or something more.
Or maybe your mind's wandering to exciting
experience you'd like to have in the
future instead of being here and now.
We often do so much of this kind
of striving, always wanting to get,
become, or have something more.
And this urge is often what
runs us into the ground.
We so rarely just let
ourselves and let things be.
So give yourself permission to do so now,
permission to just rest here in being,
with nothing to do, nowhere else to be.
Just breathing, resting, and
being fully alive to this moment.
As this practice now comes towards
the end, just notice how your
mind and body feel after taking
this time out to simply be.
And when you're ready, beginning
to move the fingers and toes.
And gently blinking open the eyes.
And wishing you a great day.

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.
