Mindfulness Meditations

Practicing mindfulness, meditation and guided mindfulness meditations have gained significant popularity in recent decades, especially as Western science has begun to catch up with and publish research on the significant benefits of these ancient practices, which can be traced back thousands of years. 

Numerous studies show that practicing mindfulness meditation can positively affect our psychological well being through improving mood and positive emotions. Research shows that a regular meditation practice can lead to better focus and concentration, improved self-awareness and self esteem, lower levels of anxiety and stress, and reduced emotional reactivity and feelings of burnout. It’s also known to help foster kindness and compassion toward the self and others. 

Physically, meditation is shown to help promote heart health, increase tolerance for physical pain, strengthen the immune system, improve digestion and can even help with substance abuse and addiction. Studies also show that mindfulness meditations, in particular, can improve quality of sleep and help with insomnia. 

As a long-term meditator, psychotherapist and meditation teacher, I’ve witnessed both personally and professionally the extraordinary ability of meditation to help reduce suffering, foster mind-body-spirit healing and even transform lives. 

All of the guided mindfulness meditations on my website are free to download and intended for both new and seasoned meditation practitioners. Also, most blog posts directly correspond to specific guided mindfulness meditations, so I invite you to also visit the blog and check out the posts and related meditations on topics that appeal to you. 

Please feel free to enjoy and share these! If you do so on social or online, I simply ask that you provide a link to my website and proper attribution. 

And, if you’re interested in learning more about meditation and Buddhist teachings and participating in group guided meditations, I offer free/donation-based bi-weekly, online meditation classes on Monday evenings.
