6 days of mindfulness meditations: free meditation program
When it comes to creating and sustaining a meditation practice I’ve found that the key is not to force it. If you have this preconceived idea that, in order to meditate you need a clear space, a meditation cushion, some sage and mala beads you are mistaken. Meditation can look like this. It can also look like, taking a few 3 intentional breaths and relaxing your shoulders before you enter an important meeting. It can look like, gazing on a single spot on the floor when you feel overwhelmed by crowds at a festival. It can look like, closing your eyes and listening to the sounds on a busy train when you’re exhausted.
This 6 day program of daily mindfulness meditations is free. And you’re welcome to come back to listening to these videos any time you want, if guided meditation is what you need. But what I really hope you will gain from these recorded meditations are the tools to practice mindfulness in your every day life, so that meditation becomes a seamless extension of yourself.

It’s important to understand and feel confident living in the space you create for yourself. This guided meditation will help you do just that.
