Meditation is the practice of observing your thoughts and feelings without judgement, gaining a healthy sense of perspective. It’s not about trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings, but trying to understand them better, without allowing them to overwhelm you. Through practice, meditation is able to help us find peace and calm within ourselves which translates to many aspects of our lives. Meditation is a practice that has many different styles - you might find that sitting calmly to meditate in a dim room works best for you, or you might like a walking meditation, following along with a guided meditation, or you might be most inspired to meditate to music. We encourage you to explore all the different types of meditation and find the right style for you!

What a great question! Meditation is such a beautiful tool to use in your daily life. Even if you only have a moment, relaxing, taking a series of deep breaths, closing your eyes and allowing your mind to calm can be so beneficial! We really love morning meditations to help set our intention for the day - here are a couple we really like! • Meditation for Setting Boundaries • Morning Clarity Meditation is also an amazing way to relax and calm your mind and body before sleep. It can even help you have a deeper and more peaceful sleep. Here are a couple of our favourite before bed meditations. • Deep Relaxation Meditation • Breathing into Sleep • Sleep Chakra Meditation Music Meditation is also a great tool to use if you find yourself feeling anxious, stressed out, or ungrounded throughout the day to help you reset and re-focus yourself. Here are a couple quick meditations that are our favourites for the middle of the day. • SOS - Instant Stress & Anxiety Relief • Natural Mindfulness Breathing Space

Of course you can! If you have a minute while you are waiting for your morning coffee to brew then you can meditate. All it takes is enough time to close your eyes, take a few deep, centering breaths and to become conscious of what is going on inside of your head. You can take 30 seconds to acknowledge the thoughts you are having without holding onto them, take a few more deep breaths, really paying attention to how the breath moves through your body. BOOM! You’ve just meditated. “You should meditate for 20 minutes each day, unless you feel you’re too busy. Then you should meditate for an hour.” We’re just going to leave this quote here though, because making time for self care is super important! You’d be completely amazed what carving out 20 minutes for meditation can do for your mental clarity for the rest of the day.

Meditation is a practice. It takes time and repetition to get ‘good’ at achieving a meditative state, so be gentle and compassionate with yourself if you’re struggling. The more you try and force relaxation on your mind the more difficult it becomes - so cut yourself some slack! We find that setting the intention of ‘every session my mind focuses for a little longer’ can be really supportive and freeing. There are also so many different styles of meditation you can try. If you have a really busy mind you might find starting off with a walking meditation to be really helpful. Guided meditations are also great if you struggle with focus, and some people really enjoy things like binaural beats to help them relax their minds. Here are a couple of meditations that we like: • Releasing Meditation • Learning to Surrender • Delta Waves & Oceanic Sounds for Deep Rest

Nope! There really is no ‘wrong’ meditation. Meditation can feel all sorts of different ways - a lot of the times we have an expectation that something monumental is going to happen. And while crazy meditation experiences are awesome, a lot of the time you might just come out of meditation feeling relaxed and recharged - which is fantastic! You might also feel a little more focused, or calm. Meditation is a very personal experience and is different for everyone! Having a high expectation of what is going to happen during your meditation experience might actually get in the way of what is REALLY happening during your meditiaton. Another thing that people struggle with is a busy mind that's difficult to focus, in this way they might feel like meditation isn’t working for them. See the above question for some suggestions about what to do when you encounter a busy ‘monkey mind’ during meditation.

Meditation is amazing for kids! More and more we see meditation and mindfulness being offered in schools and we couldn’t be more happy with this trend! There are lots of guided meditations that are geared towards children and are a great introduction to meditation! Sometimes the absolute best way to get kids interested in meditation is to lead by example - here is the link to a great article about this exact thing that we think is really worth a read. How to teach your kids about meditation Our favourite (and free!) meditation app, Insight timer actually has an entire section specifically for kids! Let them scroll through and find something that speaks to them! Children's Meditations

Such an exciting question! You don’t really need anything to meditate at all, just yourself and your mind, but, if you like things like music, guided meditations, bells, or a beat to accompany you, technology has got you covered! Insight Timer is our favourite meditation app - so many meditations, teachers, and music right at your finger tips. Youtube is another great resource for finding all sorts of meditations from us, and from so many others. Here is the link to our YouTube channel where you can find our meditations. Here are some great keywords if you’re wanting to explore something new: mindfulness meditations, meditation for anxiety, mantra meditation, binaural beat meditiation, singing bowl meditation, sound bath for meditation. We’d love to know some of your favourites!

Anytime! Whenever you can make some time in your schedule is the best time to meditate. Whenever you feel like you don’t have any time, try and carve out 5 minutes to do a quick practice - your mind will really thank you! So often we get stuck in this loop of feeling like we don’t have the time or energy - the focus that can come from meditation can actually help you to be a lot more productive and get away from the feeling of being overwhelmed!

Nope! There is absolutely no wrong way to meditate. You might come across practices and styles that don’t resonate with you as deeply as some others, and that’s totally fine. Not every meditation style will speak to everyone the same, but it in no way has anything to do with doing it ‘wrong’.
