Mindscaping | Meditation for Every Mind

This short guided meditation shows you how to use your breath to reduce or release pain, tension and fatigue in the physical body.  By consciously directing your attention via the breath to the joints, muscles, and organs where you feel restriction and discomfort, you can begin to create the mental ease and space that can give way to relaxation and ease.

Mindfulness meditation can help us get back in touch with our bodies, senses, and thought patterns, so we can upgrade our lives the way we see fit. It can assist us in making radical shifts in our physical health- like lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety, decreasing perceived pain, helping access deeper sleep, and finding more energy in our everyday routines. It can also help us to have more enjoyable relationships, improve our emotional control, and much more. The body scan exercise helps us reconnect with our bodies and the messages they send us daily.

This guided meditation can be practiced seated or lying down. It's a quick way to release extra stress and self-doubts, and anything that's weighing you down, and return to your center. In just 4 minutes you can feel renewed and return to your day with fresh energy.

This is a short, simple breathing exercise that calms the nervous system quickly- anywhere, anytime. You can practice seated, standing, or lying down, or while waiting in line, on the train or in the doctor's office. This is an essential tool for managing anxiety and everyday stressors.

The Full Moon is an ideal time to see more clearly what we are ready and willing to let go of in order to find true transformation, and what steps should be taken to rise into a new version of ourselves. This short guided meditation will help you illuminate your intuition and become comfortable in receiving your answer from your innermost self.

This long guided relaxation exercise will help you to let go of physical sensations like pain and discomfort and drop into a deep state of relaxation — resetting your nervous system and stimulating healing and balance throughout the body, mind, and spirit.

There's a good deal of misunderstanding when it comes to *what* exactly we should do with our thoughts during meditation. A lot of the confusion may be chalked up to semantics or different styles and techniques, but we can start to understand the basic process of 'letting go of all thoughts' or 'clearing the mind' as a shifting our our attentional resources FROM one thing (the thoughts) TO another (the focus of a meditation or mindful action). Have a listen. Tell me what you think. Do you have trouble unraveling yourself from your thoughts sometimes? Short meditation at the end of episode.

Gratitude is a practice that activates parts of the brain that signal pleasure and reward. It can help us produce lasting feelings of self-confidence, self-assuredness and happiness and it can help to rewire the brain to recognize more opportunities to be thankful for. In this way gratitude can lead to grace— a precision and alignment with our highest Self as we move through life. In this meditation we practice remembering, envisioning and feeling into the feeling-sense of gratitude. This practice is the first in a live, virtual series called Gratitude & Grace.

This mindfulness meditation takes you through a practice of gentle awareness of the body and the breath, and then deepens the self-inquiry as you focus solely on the mental space— watching thoughts, memories, daydreams and self talk while remaining unattached and neutral. This practice is meant to strengthen your focus and mental self control while unveiling recurring patterns of thought when practiced regularly. ~ Join Us in community for live, online meditation sessions every Saturday morning (https://www.CNTRDwellness.com/classes) ~ Find out about becoming a meditation teacher with the online CNTRD Meditation Teacher Training (⁠https://www.cntrdwellness.com/meditationteachertraining⁠)

This Yoga Nidra session, also known as "yogic sleep," is a deep relaxation technique that (when practiced regularly) helps manage anxiety and stress in everyday life. It helps to greatly reduce stress hormones and unnecessary stress responses in the body, improve sleep, increase feelings of calm and peacefulness, and strengthens your ability to manage difficult emotions and thoughts.  In this session we take a guided journey from the body to the breath and then to the moon and back, adding our personal resolution (Sankalpah) when the subconscious is most fertile and receptive. ~ Find out about the new Yoga Nidra Training (online, on demand: https://www.cntrdwellness.com/yoganidratraining) ~ Check out my book 'The Power of Guided Meditation' (https://www.cntrdwellness.com/book)  ~ Join Us in community for live, online meditation sessions every Saturday morning (https://www.CNTRDwellness.com/classes)
