' As you repeat this phrase, imagine sending compassion and understanding to yourself.Try incorporating this breathing exercise into your daily meditation practice. Start by setting aside just a few minutes each day to sit comfortably and focus on your breath. As you become more comfortable with the technique, you can gradually increase the amount of time you spend on the exercise.

Guided meditation is a powerful tool that can help us acknowledge the similarities between ourselves and others. This practice involves focusing on the present moment and our own inner experiences, often through the use of techniques such as deep breathing and visualization. By doing so, we can begin to see that we are all connected and share similar feelings, thoughts, and desires.For example, when we meditate on feelings of love and compassion, we may realize that these emotions are universal and experienced by all people, regardless of their background or circumstances. We may also come to understand that we all face similar challenges and struggles, and that we all have the capacity to overcome them.Through this realization, we can cultivate a sense of understanding and empathy for ourselves and others, leading to more harmonious relationships and a greater sense of unity and belonging in the world. In fact, research has shown that meditation can lead to increased feelings of social connectedness and prosocial behavior, as well as reduced levels of aggression and prejudice.In addition to its psychological benefits, meditation has also been linked to physical health benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleep, and increased immune function. Overall, incorporating guided meditation into our daily lives can be a powerful way to acknowledge and appreciate the commonalities we share with others, leading to a greater sense of unity and well-being for ourselves and the world around us.---Want to improve your mental health and reduce your overall stress?

In this short guided meditation we explore how you can bring energy and alertness to your mind. During meditation practice, the mind can grow dull or sleepy.Getting sleepy while you meditate is fairly common. The brain waves active during meditation may be similar to those in early stages of sleep. That means it's only natural to feel a bit drowsy during your meditation from time to time.When the mind becomes free from agitation, is calm and at peace, meditation happens. By doing meditation, you can turn your body into a powerhouse by generating an inner source of energy.When we meditate or even practice mindfulness, we activate the emotional compassionate part of the brain (the prefrontal cortex). By incorporating even a simple 5-minute meditation in your day, we can begin to calm the amygdala and go from surviving to thriving. By stressing less, we get our energy back.You can incorporate these methods into your other practices, inviting clarity into your meditation.Want to improve your mental health and reduce your overall stress?

Boost your brainwaves with this 10 min guided meditation. Research indicates that meditation tends to lead to an increase in the production of theta and alpha waves, which are the brain wave frequencies associated with enhanced learning abilities and overall mental well-being.Not only do research participants who practice meditation report improvements in their overall well-being after meditating, but scientists show that you can physically see relaxation-related changes happening in the brain using brain imaging technology, like electroencephalography (EEG).There are five distinct levels of frequencies your brain may be pulsing at, and each frequency level represents what type of function your brain is performing (e.g., sleeping, focusing, recalling a memory, etc.).The five brain frequency levels are:Delta (less than 4 Hz). The slowest brain wave. The brain increases delta waves during sleep to reduce awareness.Theta (3.5 to 7.5 Hz). A slow brain wave that increases when we are awake but focusing internally (e.g., daydreaming).Alpha (8t o 12 Hz). The frequency your brain reaches when it’s relaxed. The brain is alert but not actively processing information.Beta (12.5 to 30 Hz). The brain reaches this frequency when it’s alert and needs to process external information.Gamma (25 to 140 Hz). Your brain reaches this frequency range when it’s at peak concentration.During meditation, the most common frequencies an electroencephalogram (EEG) will detect are relaxed-state theta and alpha waves. And, as a result, the average levels of beta waves tend to decrease.Deep breathing and closed-eye visualization – techniques that mindfulness meditation usually employs – also boost alpha brainwaves. Besides relaxation, alpha waves may also help boost creativity and thereby act as a natural anti-depressant by promoting the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin.After practicing meditation for a long enough period, research suggests that alpha frequencies can become the brain’s dominant brain wave.Once alpha waves increased to dominant levels, the research revealed that participants of various forms of meditation and yoga practices experienced:improved sleep qualityreduction in anxiety and depressionlower stress levelsenhanced learning and memoryIn other words, habitual meditation practice can change your brain wave activity for years to come. Research indicates that meditation tends to lead to an increase in the production of theta and alpha waves, which are the brain wave frequencies associated with enhanced learning abilities and overall mental well-being.---Want to improve your mental health and reduce your overall stress?

In this guided meditation you'll learn how to become motivated through a mindful daily practice. Everyone experiences a lack of motivation at some point in their life. Whether you’re having a hard time finding a sense of motivation to do your laundry or work on the business pitch you’ve been thinking of, we all get into slumps. But we can all learn to identify what causes a lack of motivation in daily life and how to help ourselves get back on track.Meditation can bring about clarity and focus that renews the mind. This creates space for new ideas and inspirations from which to flourish. This can motivate us on to achieve great things, and feel more energised.Even after your first session of meditating something remarkable starts to happen in your brain.Your brain begin to slow down, reducing the amount of stimulation and information that the brain receives. We are constantly bombarded with information that all of our senses are picking up and feeding back to the brain; meditation helps to slow the information we receive to a trickle which helps us to reduce stress, induce relaxation and enhances focus and concentration.So, how can mediation help us to stay more motivated in life?Motivation can be defined as a process that guides our behaviours and actions to reach a specific outcome. It is what happens when we read a book for knowledge, when we attend seminars to learn, when we drink to quench our thirst, or start a business to become our own boss.We need that feeling of motivation to drive us forward in life, to reach our outcomes, to push our boundaries, and step outside our comfort zones in order to grow, mentally and spiritually.---Want to improve your mental health and reduce your overall stress?
