Show notes

This week, Shalini Bahl offers a 12-minute meditation to explore the relationship between our emotions and our energy. High-intensity emotions drain our energy—not just the unpleasant ones like anxiety and fear, but also pleasant ones like excitement and elation. This meditation helps us channel these emotions to help us meet our goals without burning out.

This practice is part of a four part series rooted in the lessons and wisdom from Shalini’s new book Return to Mindfulness: Disrupting Default Habits for Personal Fulfillment, Effective Leadership, and Global Impact, launching January 18th.

A 12-Minute Meditation to Focus the Mind By Tuning Into Your Meta-Awareness Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

Today, Barry Boyce guides you to focus the mind using the breath as an anchor. Mindfulness involves noticing thoughts without judgment, fostering a natural awareness beyond the constant stream of mental chatter. In this particular practice, Barry introduces you to the power of “meta-awareness”—the moment you notice a thought—and how you can gently return your focus to the breath. Remember, in meditation, failure is part of the journey; each session is a learning experience. Take a moment to ground yourself, tune into your natural awareness, and explore the depths of mindfulness with Barry's guidance.

A 12-Minute Meditation for Resting in the Flow Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

This week, meditation teacher Ed Halliwell guides you through "A Guided Meditation for Resting in the Flow," inviting you to envision the human experience as a flowing river—comprised of countless moving droplets forming a dynamic stream. Just as a river undergoes continuous change while maintaining a sense of continuity through well-worn grooves, our lives follow established patterns set by past events. By becoming attuned to the flow and the grooves, we can relax into the journey, gaining clarity that empowers us to skillfully navigate the current. Ed introduces the practice of resting in the flow, offering a meditation that aligns with the metaphor of the river, encouraging a deeper connection with the ever-changing currents of our existence.
