Quick question, Reader.

When was the last time you gave yourself 15 minutes to pause without guilt?

​

(Still thinking?)

​

Well, today’s your lucky day. I made you a meditation!

​

It’s one of my favorites to do in my own mind at the start of the day, before I facilitate events, or after I’ve been in a stressful situation and my heart rate is thumping.

​

My classes also get to benefit from me taking them through it live and in-person.

​

Since you’re on the other side of this computer and not in my head 😉 or in class this week (Res{e}t Week at the studio), I thought I’d make you a version to have to yourself.

​

Find a comfy seat (even if it’s at your desk), grab your ear buds, and push play on this meditation:

Then witness what is different within you after you do and write me back to tell me what you noticed.

​

And if you’re thinking you don’t have time to do this now, that thought is exactly why you need this.

P.S. This meditation is on Insight Timer – my go-to app for meditations and short self-awareness courses. It’s totally free (option to add an inexpensive plus annual membership), has thousands (probably millions) of free recordings, and where I’ll be hosting all my meditations for now. Come on by and check it out.​
