Letting Go of Thoughts
Practice noticing when your mind gets pulled into thoughts and gently returning to the present. Over time, this helps you step out of overthinking and reconnect with what’s happening right now.
Calming Difficult Feelings
Learn to relate to difficult feelings in a different way by allowing them to be there without pushing them away. This practice helps emotions move through you more naturally, with less intensity and more ease.
Practicing Compassion
Practice bringing compassion toward yourself and others as a way to shift your focus out of anxious or negative thinking.
This can help you feel more grounded, connected, and present.
Lighstream Visualization
Visualize a stream of light moving through your body as a way to bring calm and compassion to yourself. This practice can help settle your system and create a sense of ease.
Using sound to anchor in the present
Learn to use sound as a simple way to bring your attention back to the present. This is something you can practice anytime to help calm your mind.
Setting a meaningful intention
Choose a meaningful word or phrase and use it as an anchor for how you want to show up. This practice helps you stay connected to what matters, even when your mind gets pulled elsewhere.
Before You Begin
These meditations are here to support you. They are not a replacement for therapy,
but a way to help you reconnect with yourself in moments of stress or overwhelm.
- Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted.
- Be gentle with yourself; there is no right way to feel during meditation.
- Repeat these practices as often as needed to build calm.
- If something feels like too much, you can pause or stop at any time.
If you're wanting more support
Meditation can be a helpful starting point.
If you are noticing patterns that keep returning or anxiety that feels hard to shift, that is the kind of work we do in therapy and coaching.
