š¬ļø This meditation uses the breath as a single point of focus, helping to slow down a busy or anxious mind and bring your attention back into the present moment. Through the practice of breath counting, weāll strengthen our focus and concentration while creating space from the thoughts that can contribute to feelings of stress or anxiety.
During this practice, weāll count the breath from one to ten before making our way back down again (with guidance). Youāll have a few minutes of your own to carry on this practice without guidance as well. This is a simple technique you can return to whenever your mind feels scattered, your thoughts feel overwhelming, or you simply need a few moments to slow down and refocus.
With love,
Jo

š This meditation centers around the Sanskrit mantra Aham Prema, meaning āI am love.ā So often, we seek love outside of ourselves, looking for it in other people, experiences, or places. But what happens when we begin to recognize that we ourselves are an embodiment of love?
š«§ During this practice, we will explore a mindfulness technique called noting, which helps us become more aware of whatās happening as it happens. Here, weāll gently name the experiences that arise: thinking, hearing, feeling. A thought, a sound, a sensation in the body, all becoming something we can notice.
