Body Scan Mindfulness Exercise

The body scan is one of the most effective ways to begin a mindfulness meditation practice. The purpose is to tune in to your body—to reconnect to your physical self—and notice any sensations you’re feeling without judgement. This audio can be used as a tool, varied based on length, or directed at certain areas of the body.

Happiness Factory

Achieving a sense of contentment does not necessarily manifest as a wide-smile or constant elation. Rather, it is a connection to something innate, leading us to a genuine sense of satisfaction and reconnection with our mind’s happy state. In practicing meditation for joy and happiness, we create the conditions necessary to experience a happy state of mind.

Cultivating Joy

Breathe now and settle into the truth that you are meant to experience deep joy in this life. That colors are meant to be vibrant, and many laughs are meant to be shared. Even when the world seems dark. Even when life feels heavy. So, call in more joy. And let it live deeply within you.5 Minutes to Regain Calm, Clarity and Confidence

Breathe Away Anxious Thoughts

You probably don’t think about your breath that often. It’s always there, in the background, when you need it. But by paying more attention to how you’re breathing can make a big impact on your stress levels. By breathing slower and more deeply from your stomach, you signal your nervous system to calm down. Deep breathing can help lessen stress and anxiety.
