💛 No one is immune to emotional overwhelm. Even the strongest, most composed people feel waves of emotion, pressure, and thought spirals inside. This practice is not about ridding yourself of what makes us human - rather, changing our relationship with it. During this soothing meditation, we explore the spaciousness and the calm that is beneath the surge. You’ll be guided into creating peace and stillness to coexist.  With love, Jo  👇👇👇 More from A Zen Mind 👇👇👇 ✨Join Me on Instagram! 🎙️ Listen Ad Free 💞 Work With Me 1:1 (Custom Meditations) 💌Join My Email List 🌸www.azenmindpodcast.com 💖 Say Thanks & Support A Zen Mind Learn more about your ad choices.

✨ This meditation is a gentle return to what is real: complete and total presence. It is so easy to be pulled into the future by our goals and desires, or tangled in memories of the past. This practice guides you back into the only thing that truly exists: right now. Here, we soften into acceptance. We practice meeting life exactly as it is, without pressure or resistance, and allow ourselves to feel eternally supported by this moment.

🤍Self-forgiveness is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer ourselves. This meditation isn’t about digging up the past or reliving old moments, it’s about softening & acknowledging the parts of you that tried their best, and offering them the compassion they deserved all along. During this practice, we move through gentle reflection, inner forgiveness, and gratitude, allowing shame, regret, and self-judgment to loosen their grip.  You’ll be guided to meet old versions of yourself with understanding, to say “I forgive you,” and extend the love to your own self that you deserve.  This is a simple, soulful space to free yourself from what you’ve been carrying and step forward with clarity, compassion, and love.

🌄SLEEP VERSION: This guided visualization is part of the Inner Sanctuary series, a collection of meditative journeys created to guide you into a restorative, healing space within.  During this practice, you’ll journey to a temple on the side of a mountain, a place untouched by the daily stress, expectations, and responsibilities of your day to day life. It’s simply a space to decompress, reset, and come back to yourself.  We begin this experience with a few deep breaths, before moving into the journey. This journey includes mountain imagery, a pool scene, water sound effects, and healing music throughout. After the familiar chime, the music will gently fade out, without any guided closing, allowing you to drift off to sleep.

🎒This guided visualization is a practice in releasing what you can’t control and trusting what’s ahead. So much of our stress comes from trying to manage every detail, every outcome, every feeling. And while effort has its place, there comes a point where the most supportive thing you can do is step back, breathe, and hand it over. This meditation is for that moment. Whether you’ve been overthinking, carrying emotional weight, feeling pressure, or simply trying to hold everything together, this practice helps you let go of what’s heavy and trust that you’re supported, by something far greater than yourself.

🪽Stress and anxiety can sometimes feel like a tug-of-war. We often convince ourselves that we shouldn’t be feeling this way, creating a negative feedback loop in our own minds. So rather than fixing, changing, or controlling this experience, during this practice we create space to simply be, to simply surrender. Sometimes the deepest healing comes from meeting yourself exactly where you are, with softness, patience, and compassion. During this practice, we’ll return to total presence, practice acceptance, and invite ourselves to gently soften and let go into this space.

🔍 What does purpose mean to you? This is an activating meditation designed for deeper reflection, both during the practice and in the days that follow. We often believe purpose is something external to be found or achieved, but this meditation is a reminder that your purpose has always lived within you. It’s simply about uncovering the layers that reveal your truth. Throughout this practice, you’ll be guided through three reflective questions, each giving you space to listen inward and reconnect with your inner guidance.
