Cultivating Equanimity Amidst Life's Chaos

It's no secret that our demanding jobs, busy schedules, and "hustle culture" can prevent us from maintaining our inner calm amidst life's chaos, but with this 10-day meditation course, you will receive a gentle yet powerful reminder that changing your outer world begins with transforming (or changing) your inner world.

You will begin your journey by diving deep within yourself to reflect on how outside stressors impact your ability to cultivate mindfulness. With help from guided meditations, you will use tools such as self-awareness and the power of your breath to explore living in the present moment.

By using these lessons and mindfulness exercises to help you view the world through a new lens of compassion and gratitude, you will be encouraged to acknowledge and savor all the beauty you often miss during your day-to-day life.

The world around you may change the thoughts and emotions you experience, but your thoughts and emotions can change how you experience the world. With these guided meditations, I hope to pass on accessible tools to help you recenter and cultivate calm when you need it most.

Are you ready to cultivate equanimity amidst life's chaos?

Leçon 1: Embracing The Now

Now is the only moment we can be certain of. During our first lesson, you will be invited to immerse yourself in the present moment, where you will deepen your awareness of the here and now.

Leçon 2: Coming Home To The Body

The body speaks in sensations. During today's practice, we will deepen our self-awareness using the body scan as a tool. By learning to understand the feelings we experience and what the body uses them to tell us, we can focus on becoming more attuned to our inner landscape and the innate wisdom the body holds.

Leçon 3: Getting Grounded

In this lesson, we will acknowledge the many demands of modern living. Today's meditation is a visualization practice that will encourage us to emulate the qualities of a tree as we find our center, build resilience from within, stand tall, and maintain our peace amidst the chaos and demands we may experience.

Leçon 4: Finding Stillness

The breath is an anchor that keeps us still when we are caught in life's waves. We often forget about the power of the breath, but it is always there for us, and during today’s lesson, we will learn how to harness it and return to it in the moments when we desire stillness.

Leçon 5: Savoring The World Around Us

Life passes us by in the blink of an eye. Just think: We are already halfway through our journey! Day 5's lesson is all about savoring life. We will explore what it means to appreciate the beauty around us as we participate in an open awareness practice to help us acknowledge everything happening at this very moment.

Leçon 6: Mindfulness In Motion

We cannot exist solely in our inner world, or solely in our outer world. Today, let's explore integrating a mindfulness practice into our daily lives as we engage in a walking meditation.

Leçon 7: Accepting Loving-Kindness

We are often our harshest critics. In today’s lesson, we will learn to love ourselves for who we are, and by practicing a RAIN of Self-Compassion, we will begin laying the foundation we need to become our own best friend during difficult times.

Leçon 8: Compassion For Others

Suffering is a universal human experience. Through the Just Like Me meditation, we will explore this facet of human existence, come face-to-face with these heavy emotions, offer others good wishes and compassion, and radiate positive energy out into the world around us.

Leçon 9: Grateful For Life

Gratitude can change how we view every situation. In today's practice, we will explore how maintaining an attitude of gratitude can invoke feelings of happiness and cultivate a renewed sense of appreciation for all we have.

Leçon 10: Bringing It All Together

We've made it to the final day of our journey. In addition to acknowledging all that we have covered (and uncovered) over the past nine days, today's lesson will offer an opportunity to reflect on how far you have come and how you would like to take the lessons and mediations that resonated with you on the journey ahead.

Excellent! Covers lots of ground. I am smiling. Thank you.

Very good advice and helpful exercises to deepen a mindfulness practice.

while most of the practices presented here were not new to me, the notion of equanimity, nurturing, and growing that quality could not be more important during any time and especially at this time. So I appreciate this course. It is great timing for me and probably for many others too! Thank you.
