The Seaside Villa (Inner Sanctuary Series) Nov 11, 2026

Show notes

🏛️ This special guided visualization is inspired by the beautiful Getty Villa in Los Angeles, California and was created in partnership with Getty’s OMMM: Our Museum Mindfulness Meditation podcast.

This guided visualization is part of the Inner Sanctuary Series, a collection of meditative journeys and sleep stories lovingly created to transport you into peaceful inner landscapes where rest, healing, and imagination can flourish.

During this journey, we’ll travel to a magnificent seaside villa inspired by the Getty Villa and its ancient Italian architecture, art, and gardens. You’ll wander through beautiful courtyards, admire intricate fountains and sculptures, and experience the natural beauty of the gardens as you reconnect with your senses and find endless peace within your own inner sanctuary.

We’ll begin with a few deep, cleansing breaths before moving into a fully immersive visualization. Get cozy and comfortable, and allow your imagination to wander through this beautiful seaside sanctuary.

*This experience includes flowing water, birdsong, the gentle buzzing of bees, and calming music throughout.

♾️ During this meditation, we tap into the vast canvas of being that exists within you - the I Am.

ꔛ This practice is a perfect go-to for moments when you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, triggered, anxious, worried, or when you just need a few minutes to collect your thoughts and return to peace and ease.

Meditation for Emotional Healing: Finding Peace in Difficult Moments Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

💗 This 10 minute meditation is for those tender moments when our emotions feel difficult to navigate. Inspired by the idea that “the only way out is through,” this practice invites you to approach your emotions with love, compassion, patience, and acceptance.

When we're hurting, it's natural to distract ourselves, avoid uncomfortable feelings, or feel the need to fix or change them. But learning to sit with our emotions, even the difficult ones, can be a powerful act of kindness toward ourselves and an important part of emotional healing.

Through somatic awareness, breathwork, and a loving mantra woven throughout this meditation, you'll be guided to connect with your emotions through the body, honor what you're feeling, and offer yourself compassion exactly where you need it most.

With love,

Cozy Sleep Meditation: An Autumn Visualization for Letting Go & Deep Rest Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

🍂 The changing of the seasons inspired this cozy autumn sleep meditation. Just as nature moves through seasons of rest, renewal, and restoration, so do we

During this cozy sleep visualization, we begin with slow, deep 4-7-8 breathing to support the vagus nerve and invite the body into a deeper state of relaxation. From there, you’ll be guided beneath an autumn night sky, attaching the thoughts and worries of your day to falling leaves and watching as they gently drift away.

I hope you soften into a space of peace, tranquility, and comfort as the day fades behind you and you begin to drift into deep, restorative sleep.

Mantra Meditation to Open the Heart & Cultivate Self-Love Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

💗 This meditation centers around the Sanskrit mantra Aham Prema, meaning “I am love.” 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?

Through mantra, breath, and heart centered awareness, this practice will guide you into opening your heart and reconnecting with the love already within you. As we nurture that connection, we create space to meet ourselves with greater tenderness and move through the world from a softer, more loving place.

With love,

Noting Meditation for Mindfulness & Present Moment Awareness Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

🫧 During this practice, we will explore a mindfulness technique called noting, which helps us become more aware of what’s happening as it happens. Here, we’ll gently name the experiences that arise: thinking, hearing, feeling. A thought, a sound, a sensation in the body, all becoming something we can notice.

It’s easy to get swept up in an experience before we’ve had a chance to recognize it. By giving it a name, we create a little space between ourselves and what’s unfolding. From that space, we can observe our thoughts and feelings with more clarity and compassion, and feel more connected to the present moment.

Meditation to Calm the Mind: Breath Counting Practice Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

🌬️ 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, we’ll strengthen our focus and concentration while creating space from the thoughts that can contribute to feelings of stress or anxiety.

During this practice, we’ll count the breath from one to ten before making our way back down again (with guidance). You’ll 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.

Meditation for a Fresh Perspective: Shoshin Beginner’s Mind Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

🪷 This meditation is a practice that you can take with you far beyond these next few minutes and into your everyday life. Shoshin is the Zen practice of “beginner’s mind,” inviting us to approach our experiences with openness and curiosity, as though we were experiencing them for the very first time.

⁠Download the Free Shoshin Guide Here ⁠

My question to you as you begin this meditation: what might change if you looked at your relationships, your work, or even the obstacles you face with fresh eyes? Sometimes, Shoshin is all we need to shift our perspective. Through this practice, you’ll explore what happens when you loosen your grip on what you think you already know, bringing a little more curiosity, excitement, and playfulness into the ordinary moments of your life.

(P.S., This is a great meditation to do outdoors!)
