In this meditation we’ll focus on developing our ability to wake up out of autopilot and return to a greater awareness of the present moment. 

Awakening Out of Autopilot Mode

When we fight our stress, we create more stress. In this meditation, we'll practice holding our stress with spacious, curious awareness, so that it can be processed and let go.

Build Your Stress Container

In this meditation, we simply practice calming down the mind and body by making space for our experience without resistance.

Settling Your Nerves

In this meditation, we'll practice embracing our anxiety as an ally rather than resisting it as an enemy.

Befriend Your Anxiety

In this meditation, we'll explore how to step back from our thoughts, give them space, and find greater peace.

Freedom From Thoughts

A deeply embodied practice where the breath massages the whole body creating deeper rest and ease. This practice will also promote deeper sleep if done just before bed.

Breath-Based Body Scan

Learn how to settle your attention, without strain, to cultivate a calm mind.

Calm Focus

A Body Scan where we consciously imagine the whole body becoming filled with light and ease. 

Filling the Body With Light

In this practice, learn to step back from thoughts and emotions, and observe what’s going on in the mind. 

Becoming Non-Reactive

So much of our stress comes from being caught in our thoughts and ideas. In this meditation, we'll drop from our head to our body, the one place that is always present.

Head-to-Body

Sooth stress and bounce back with more clarity, perspective and energy.

Mindfulness and meditation can help build strength and resilience in response to the pressures of life. Through intentional breathing exercises, meditations, music, and soundscapes, mindfulness helps lower cortisol levels and interrupt the stress response. When used regularly, even in just a few minutes a day, these resources are a powerful toolkit for managing stress.

The more we practice mindfulness, the less we get caught up in stress, and the easier and more meaningful life becomes.
