Episode #57: The Two Types of Meditation

Feeling frustrated right now? In this practice we learn to notice where frustration lives in the body, recognize the resistance underneath it, and let it move through instead of running the mental story on repeat. You'll find some space, maybe even some compassion, and possibly a little truth about what's really going on underneath the anger.

If you have a loud inner critic, chronic planner, over-thinker, then it might be time to sit with all the voices and ask them what they actually want. You might discover that they might not be the enemies you thought it they were, but have something to teach you.All the good stuff:Meditation School: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.meditationschool.us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The 7 Energies of the Soul Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3mAByGN⁠

In this session we explore my favorite definition of meditation, and the two main types of meditation. We close the physical eyes and turn the light on inside, learning to notice the breath, the body, the thoughts, and eventually the awareness itself that is doing the noticing.

In this guided meditation, I invite you to stop pushing against the problem and instead shift your own energy first.

When something in life ends, it can be surprisingly hard to let go. In this guided meditation, we explore why endings affect us so deeply and how to meet them with awareness instead of resistance. Together, we gently notice where the body is holding on, allow the emotions to move, gain clarity, and begin to accept the reality of change. Endings don’t mean something went wrong. They’re part of being alive. This practice is an invitation to soften, breathe, and take the next step forward with a little more peace and presence.All the good stuff:Enroll for the 2026 Meditation Teacher Training Certification Program: ⁠https://bit.ly/49vIMCp⁠Meditation School: ⁠https://www.meditationschool.us⁠ The 7 Energies of the Soul Book: ⁠https://amzn.to/3mAByGN
