In this guided meditation I lead you through awareness of three "gates" or energy centers in the body where fear, shame, and insecurity are often lodged and registered.

The meditation offers suggestions for how to bring awareness to embodied habits, and work with emotions that lodge in these centers.
In this guided meditation, recorded on the day of the US midterm elections 2018, I invite a creative exploration of the shadow self and its integration. Courage isn't bravado, control or domination. Rather, true courage is the ability to self-reflect, to admit to one's failings, to forgive others, and to choose compassion over competition. This meditation is a practice of externalizing, then (re)internalizing our shadow selves so that we can work with them skillfully and make choices rooted in courage.
This guided meditation helps you balance your urgency and call-to-activism by giving simple tools for breath and body awareness, and the reminder to receive and take in goodness as you also fight for change.
This meditation focuses first on awareness of the inner Sun and essential radiance. The solar energy is the creative principle and the essence of our childlike, innocent nature.

This meditation was made for the new moon and solar eclipse in Leo, August 11, 2018.
