Noticing Joy, Already Calm

In moments of anxiety, worry, burnout, or overwhelming stress, it's easy to become entangled in a self-limiting storyline. This meditation invites you to gently return to the moment, not by pushing thoughts or feelings away, but by witnessing & welcoming them with awareness.

Featuring the soothing tones of the handpan, this sound meditation offers a grounding space to sit with your emotions without becoming them. Let the music & breath guide you back to your center: laugh, let go, and enjoy the present.

Perfect for starting or ending your day with a sense of calm, trust & presence.

May also support the following challenges: health anxiety, performance anxiety, intrusive thoughts, work stress, caregiver stress, financial stress, nervous system dysregulation, hypoarousal, and fight / flight/freeze.

With a little bit of presence, With a little bit of awareness, With a little bit of consciousness, We can bring light to those dark spaces. Feeling your feet on the stillness of the ground beneath you. Holding that breath at the top. And exhale, Letting go. And hold, Becoming aware as you hold the breath. Way to stay with it, My friend. So thankful that you would join me today. It's not always easy to be with the mind, To be with all of the emotion, All of the sensation. Nevertheless, We're here. Letting go of self-doubt, Letting go of the inner critic. Letting go of fear. As you come back to trust, Come back to love. Breathing in, Softening the face, Relaxing the belly, Relaxing the chest, Relaxing the hands. Feeling the stillness of the ground beneath you. Becoming aware of your aliveness. We live to see another day, But it won't always be that way. Thank you for joining me across time and space. Sending you a big hug, My dear friend. Wishing you an abundance of love, Resourcefulness, Creativity, Consciousness. Having the consciousness to not run from your interior world, Your inner world. Your inner world is a temple. There's a whole universe inside there that you can delight in. And there may be some hidden darkness that makes it scary. Just like when we were kids and we didn't want to go into the dark room unless we could put the light on. Then we go into the room. And it's like that going into your inner world. It can be scary only because there's darkness. And not even anything of substance, Just unawareness. With a little bit of presence, With a little bit of awareness, With a little bit of consciousness, We can bring light to those dark spaces in our inner world. And it doesn't have to be scary. It can be beautiful. It can be luminous. It can be a great delight to go inwards. It's just a little bit of presence. And with that, I will see you back here tomorrow with Lif.
