A Zen Mind Guided Meditations

💗 This meditation centers around the Sanskrit mantra Aham Prema, meaning “I am love.” So often, we seek love outside of ourselves, looking for it in other people, experiences, or places. But what happens when we begin to recognize that we ourselves are an embodiment of love?

Through mantra, breath, and heart centered awareness, this practice will guide you into opening your heart and reconnecting with the love already within you. As we nurture that connection, we create space to meet ourselves with greater tenderness and move through the world from a softer, more loving place.

With love,

Jo

🫧 During this practice, we will explore a mindfulness technique called noting, which helps us become more aware of what’s happening as it happens. Here, we’ll gently name the experiences that arise: thinking, hearing, feeling. A thought, a sound, a sensation in the body, all becoming something we can notice.

It’s easy to get swept up in an experience before we’ve had a chance to recognize it. By giving it a name, we create a little space between ourselves and what’s unfolding. From that space, we can observe our thoughts and feelings with more clarity and compassion, and feel more connected to the present moment.

With love,

Jo

🌬️ This meditation uses the breath as a single point of focus, helping to slow down a busy or anxious mind and bring your attention back into the present moment. Through the practice of breath counting, we’ll strengthen our focus and concentration while creating space from the thoughts that can contribute to feelings of stress or anxiety.

During this practice, we’ll count the breath from one to ten before making our way back down again (with guidance). You’ll have a few minutes of your own to carry on this practice without guidance as well. This is a simple technique you can return to whenever your mind feels scattered, your thoughts feel overwhelming, or you simply need a few moments to slow down and refocus.

With love,

Jo

🪷 This meditation is a practice that you can take with you far beyond these next few minutes and into your everyday life. Shoshin is the Zen practice of “beginner’s mind,” inviting us to approach our experiences with openness and curiosity, as though we were experiencing them for the very first time.

⁠Download the Free Shoshin Guide Here ⁠

My question to you as you begin this meditation: what might change if you looked at your relationships, your work, or even the obstacles you face with fresh eyes? Sometimes, Shoshin is all we need to shift our perspective. Through this practice, you’ll explore what happens when you loosen your grip on what you think you already know, bringing a little more curiosity, excitement, and playfulness into the ordinary moments of your life.

(P.S., This is a great meditation to do outdoors!)

With love,

Jo

🐚This meditation takes us out of the thinking mind and into a sensory experience. So much of our lives are spent inside of our heads - thinking, planning, remembering, anticipating - while an entire world of sensation unfolds within the body.

Rather than a traditional body scan, this practice invites you to explore sensation itself, bringing awareness to the smallest points of feeling before expanding into the experience of your body as a whole.

All I ask is that you remain open and curious, noticing what you can feel and exploring what it means to experience the present moment through the body rather than the mind.

With love,

Jo
