The breath is often the anchor of meditation processes. It keeps us alive from birth until death, yet often we do not give it much attention. In this meditation, we focus on the breath and what it can reveal to us in meditation.

The Tao Te Ching is a collection of writings from Lao Tzu. It describes a nameless way of existence that leads to peace. In this meditation, I read some of my favorite verses from the Tao to give an introduction to my interpretation of it.

Often we are caught up in our own state in life or consumed by dreams and desires. In the space of meditation it is possible to let go of these and feel true serenity and acceptance of the most basic level of your existence.

We look and feel the sensations of our body to go about our normal life. In the space of meditation we can begin to feel the true size of our bodily sensations and how we can expand our feelings to the size of our awareness

As we grow, we learn about the material facts of sensations. This can often block our mind from truly engaging with the sensation itself and feeling it as we experience it. This meditation will help you examine your feelings and sensations to experience them more fully.

Often when we are anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or fraught with racing thoughts; we may find ourselves stuck. If we feel we are unable to leave, these negative feelings can overstay their welcome. This practice helps you greet these feelings without self-judgment, sit with them without harm, and allow them to leave you in peace and freedom. This 9 minute exercise should be practiced and repeated to help train your mind to deal with anxious and overwhelming thoughts as they appear throughout your life. This is not a quick fix, and should not be used as such. Doing this once or twice will at best have minor results. With continued practice, this exercise has brought me peace, freedom, and control over the time I spend with my anxiety.  

Negative emotions will arise in our minds and bodies and can cause us suffering. Often we continue to focus and give attention to this emotion, or we add self-judgement on top of it. This only feeds the fire of suffering that is burning in our awareness. In this meditation, allow yourself to sit near the fire without it consuming you. Allow yourself to snuff it out and feel the cool space of peace and freedom from suffering. 

Every living organism breathes from the same air. Allow yourself to fully experience the unity held in this simple truth. This meditation explores how breath units the planet and that we are all breathing together as one being. 

It is easy to say you want peace, or that you love another. But what does this feeling actually entail? The meditation guides you to examine how you feel about your own peace, along with that of your friends and enemies. It asks you to explore the peace, joy, and freedom you feel and to extend it out to the rest of the world. 

Everything we experience passes through our mind. The world we see and interact with exists in two places: outside and inside. This meditation guides your attention to find the place where thoughts and sensations take place. 

To function in society, we need language, customs, rituals, and systems to allow us to be productive. However, when we come to the space of meditation, we can allow ourselves to let go of these thoughts that overlay our direct sensations and feelings. In this space, much like a newborn who does not yet understand their surroundings, we can truly feel and experience raw sensations without letting them become attached to ourselves.

While guided meditation is a great way to learn new practices and introduce yourself to new meditation concepts; your meditation practice should be your own. This guided meditation helps you learn what to look for and how to grow in the silence of your own time spent experiencing the gifts of consciousness. Repeat this and other practices with and without the guides, and soon you will be able to meditate and gain spiritual and emotional insights of your own.  

This quick meditation will help expand your awareness to the universe and out of your day to day perspective. Often we can let fears and pressure of failure to hold us back from living true to ourselves. Focusing on the epic size and lifespan of the universe can allow you to break through these barriers to realize that your life is truly yours to live as you want. 

Inspired by Neil DeGrasse Tyson's Cosmic Perspective. 

If you have trouble with guided meditations or want to explore your personal meditation journey, this is a meditation for you. After a brief intro, this meditations gives you 20 minutes of music to meditate by yourself with a guide.

Today's podcast is not a meditation. This is instead a walk through of visualizing what higher dimensions may look like. This is a creative visual exercise conceived by Rob Bryanton. This is not meant to be taken as science fact or to be an explanation of our universe. It is merely a way to imagine what is outside of our normal 4-dimensional (3 space, 1 time) reality.

Today’s meditation is about using simple truths and rational actions to overcome obsessive thoughts and/or negative thought patterns. Our minds are constantly seeking stasis in a harsh world and many times our negative racing thoughts are simply this act of finding a balance expressed through a mental illness. If you can accept this and see through the pattern to a concrete rational action that will bring you stasis, hope, and/or joy; you can find peace and break through the obsessive negative thoughts.
