Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/11/26

In this meditation, we explore via breath and body scan as well as visualization the incongruency of mind-heart-body, where we think we're calm until something sets us off and then we're overwhelmed with the flight-fight state and not able to conduct ourselves in a way that aligns with our highest and best.

Being available to ourselves - acceptance meditation

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/11/19

Greetings and welcome back after our holiday last week, where I was busy with Remembrance Day tributes. Today, our short practice centres on being available to ourselves emotionally and physically during our practice. It is a meditation-based response to a question submitted by one of our listeners, about being tired and stressed all the time. There are many reasons at root--some could be medical/chemical, situational (family and work problems) and in meditation we can't fix all of these, but there

Loving Kindness Meditation for Self & Other

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/11/05

In today's meditation, we explore directing loving kindness toward ourselves, and also toward others. This topic was inspired by a class member's submission regarding how to handle anger and a sense of victimization. A practice where we remind ourselves that others are not our enemies is vital to correcting chronic anger and resentment.

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/10/22

In this practice, we use the breath and body as focus anchors to explore the importance of respecting, honoring and accepting ourselves in order to offer the highest and best to ourselves and others. Often we are distracted with thoughts of our flaws, pain, imperfections and feel unworthy for giving and receiving our highest and best to ourselves and others. Today, we use the inhalation to remind ourselves of the power and potential in considering our unique physical body as a temple or vehicle for

Releasing the illusion of being unlovable

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/10/22

In this episode, I respond to a listener question. The listener was struggling with the fact that despite therapy, meditating and many other modalities of self-care, he was still feeling at the whim of experiences, and tends to crash when circumstances get hard. Meditating helps us expose the root-cause thoughts of fear, shame and basically "unlovability" that keeps dragging us down despite our positive work. Mindfulness meditation helps us develop clarity, equanimity and focus, so that we can

Thanksgiving Meditation - Gratitude & Service

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/10/08

For Canadians, Happy Thanksgiving weekend! Always an excellent time for a gratitude meditation. In today's community meditation, I discuss some questions submitted to me this past week about anxiety. One of the fastest meditation anchors that can lift us out of being stuck in anxiety is gratitude. In our lives, service to community and others can also lift us out of being stuck in anxiety. While we are sitting in practice however, the expansiveness of gratitude meditation helps us understand that we

Higher Purpose Focus & Body Scan Meditation

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/10/01

In today's practice, I respond to a couple questions received from participants about what type of meditation is best, and how to use meditation to get more done. What exactly is it that we need to get done to feel like we have enough control, are good enough, are successful enough anyway? Today we unpack these expectations with a body scan meditation. To register, please email calgarymindfulness@gmail.com at least 48 hours prior to our practice. https://youtu.be/0YkRTuRTzeA

Nurturing Resilience in Ourselves and Our Children

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/08/08

Our meditation today, actually as usual--is based on some our group's emails to me regarding developing resilience in children. As meditators, our first stop is looking within before we try to "fix" others. As meditators, we share resilience by embodying it ourselves rather than packaging it for others.

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/08/08

Today we use the breath as an anchor to connect to the spiritual strengths of clarity, wisdom, respectfulness, peacefulness, loving-kindness, generosity, and ease, and to release those attributes which interfere (shame, fear, worry, anxiety, comparisons etc). We direct this awareness inward and outward to our community of friends, family and strangers. It is a tightrope we balance, to ground within deeply in strength, and send this loving awareness out to our community. Originally broadcast April 2,
