Learn to Meditate Video Course from teaching balance:  Session 1 of 7


Today we will ease in with two short practices:  60 Seconds of Presence (aka a Mindful Minute), as well as a 5 Minute Mini-Meditation.   I suggest practicing the 5 minute meditation for a couple of days before Session 2, but if you feel you're ready, go ahead to the next one.   Enjoy!

I was thinking about WHY the Mindfulness Membership works: there isn’t “too much”. You have access to resources you can peruse at your leisure. You get one supportive and encouraging email a week. You get access to other ways to connect, if you feel like it. You don’t need more to do - you just need practices and strategies that help you with what is already on your plate. It’s not “too much” or “another thing”. But it IS a choice that you make. 💗
Enrollment is officially open! Imagine the you who doesn’t get as stressed. Imagine the you that doesn’t listen to your inner critic. Imagine the you that is more fully present with your students, friends, and family. Imagine the you who sets healthy boundaries and keeps them. Imagine the you that prioritizes your self-care because you know it is not selfish, but actually beneficial to others. The way to this you is mindfulness and meditation and you can do it. 💗
This one feels very meme-ready..... Shall we? 🤓 I’ll go first!
Stills from my FB video explaining that if you don’t think you have 5 or 10 minutes to meditate, you need it that much more! Fall 2019 enrollment in the Teaching Balance Mindfulness Membership is NOW OPEN (a little ahead of schedule 😉). Check out the link in bio or at Teaching Balance.com/mindfulness-membership
Today is the final day of the meditation challenge, and this is the quote on today’s page. It’s also feeling very resonant for me in my life right now. I’ve been experiencing quite a lot of “endings” these past few months: Career transition, loss of a loved one, letting go of unhealthy habits. And many new beginnings: Finding my way on a new path and bringing Teaching Balance to the next level, having more appreciation for the loved ones still here, starting new healthy habits that I never would have thought I’d try. Sometimes endings and beginnings occur because of our own actions. Sometimes they happen against our wishes. I’m working on navigating them with presence and lightness. 🙏
Coming soon...
