This week, meditation teacher Adam Ortman leads us through a guided meditation that explores our inner dialogue. Our inner voice often constructs a limited narrative that obscures the full picture of our experiences. By paying close attention to this inner voice, especially when it tends to focus on negative thoughts, we can begin to nurture a habit of self-compassion.

This episode of 12-Minute Meditation is one of a series we created earlier this year in partnership with WholeSchool Mindfulness to support young people. That being said, anyone of any age can benefit from this beginner friendly self-compassion meditation.

Have you ever berated yourself? What do you say? Do words of self doubt reverberate in your head? We are constantly sending messages to ourselves and to others. Talk to yourself like you would to a beloved friend.  Feel free to debate yourself rather than swallow the negative soliloquy. Condemning words are like self-inflicted wounds with the salt of shame being rubbed in it.  With affirming self talk, replace the double-negative of compounding shame and blame.  Words matter, but words don’t teach— practiced experience does. 

This mid summer check-in with Hilary will have you asking yourself, “Am I a human being or a human doing?”

But even doing nothing IS something. And that "something" could be just what you need to support your emotional well-being.

With August bringing the first of two full moons, Hilary will explore with you:

• Why this is the perfect time to get clear...mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. 
• The importance of mental fitness and how community support matters.
• How o take a break and take action simultaneously with a special challenge that will help you clear the space with intention.

Trust and faith go hand in hand. When we have trust, we believe the best is yet to come, we have faith that everything will work out in our favor, even if we don’t see it yet. When we trust, we see the best in others, and more importantly, we see the best in ourselves. When we choose to trust, we choose to love.

Today, in our final episode of Season 4, we’re taking a few mindful moments to anchor ourselves in trust and faith. We hope you carry them into every day ahead. 

Here are vows to embrace + exude trust.

Thank you for listening to Season 4! Until next time.

We are back from our mini hiatus, and it feels amazing. Thank you for being here. This week's new episode is all about our words. 

There is power in our words and what we choose to say or not say. We can either build ourselves and others up with love and intention, or the opposite. What we think about and carry in our hearts, are the words that manifest from our mouths. Today, we’re nourishing our thoughts and choosing to speak life, love, peace and purpose. 

Here are vows to help us honor the power of our words and voices.

Our imagination is supernatural. It grants us the ability to see and dream beyond the natural and physical things before our eyes. It is a powerful, influential gift we’ve been given.

When we’re children, our imagination is our best friend, we experience the world without limits. We have child-like faith and dreams. We believe everything and anything is possible, and that is the part of ourselves we need to hold onto and nourish. Today, we’re tapping back into that power. 

Here are vows to help us expand, appreciate and inspire our imagination.

We'll be taking a break from a new episode next week before we wrap Season 4. Thank you for tuning in every week and soaking in these words, your heart thanks you too. 💛

Often when we hear the word serve, we think of something beneath us. When in actuality, to serve is greater than being served. To love is to serve, to create is to serve, to be kind is to serve. We are all here with a purpose, and that purpose provides a key service to the world that you and only you can fulfill. 

Today, let’s take a few minutes to posture our hearts to serve with love. 

Here are vows to serve ourselves and the world.
