Music: "Music Box and Sunshine" by Daniel Birch

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Special Episode: Whenever you find yourself feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed, you can try this Breathwork exercise called Box Breathing.

Think of an image of a box with four equal sides. Your Box Breathing pattern will be just like those four equal sides.

Inhale through the nose for 4 counts. Hold for 4 counts. Exhale through the mouth for 4 counts. Hold for 4 counts. Repeat as many times as you like.

Be sure to breathe deep into the belly, not the chest, throat or shoulders. If it's helpful to you, place one hand on your belly to feel it rise and fall.

I hope this brings you peace and wellness wherever you are.

Music: "Meditation Impromptu 03" by Kevin MacLeod

Special Episode: For these difficult times, I wanted to share an easy way to quickly calm and ground yourself whenever you need to.

Here is a simple Breathwork exercise. Simply inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. It sounds simple because it is. But sometimes, we need reminders for this most basic tool we have with us and within us. Just be sure to breathe into your belly, not your shoulders or chest.

I hope this brings you peace and wellness.

In honor of Poetry Month, please enjoy a reading of one of my favorite poems: "Kindness" by Naomi Shihab Nye.

I hope this might bring you a bit of peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Kicking off Season 2 with a special episode: MeditationZZZ for Sleep

With all of the chaos in everyday life, I thought it might it be helpful for anyone – food lovers and everyone else – to have a brief, calming meditation to help you relax. It's a quick and quiet body scan to help you breathe and ease into rest. And it ends with a few reminders that you are amazing and beautiful and perfect just as you are.

In the next episode, we'll return to recipe readings. But in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this meditation.
