OKAY! So here’s the deal: if you want to learn meditation, you gotta pick a technique and do it regularly. You wouldn’t try and learn a musical instrument by trying it once, putting it down, and trying something new the next day right? Same thing here.

Below are new meditations for each week’s classes. You can either stay with week one’s meditations or try out that next one but the first week’s meditation - mindfulness - is the jam and I encourage you to consider it the bedrock of our work together.

Week 1: Mindfulness Meditation and also Deep Relaxation Meditation

Mindfulness Meditation is a way to work with our repetitive thoughts and get grounded. The Deep Relaxation Meditation can also be employed to relieve tension in the body (and thus the mind as well).

Week 2: Mindfulness-Awareness Meditation

As mentioned in Class 2, this is a great guided meditation to highlight two innate qualities of the mind: our ability to focus and our ability to relax into our environment.

Week 3: Loving-Kindness for Yourself and Mindfulness of Emotions

We have two meditations here: loving-kindness for yourself being the main point of focus that is recommended and a mindfulness of emotions technique for anyone who is regularly encountering strong emotions.

Week 4: Loving-Kindness for All

I unpack the origin and importance of loving-kindness in this week’s talk - you can stick with one of the mindfulness practices or take this one as your main practice for the coming week.

Thank you for participating in the Meditation Bootcamp!
