About this episode

This episode features a guided 7-minute meditation focused on breath expansion and calming the mind.

Take seven mindful minutes to slow down, soften and reconnect with your breath. In this guided meditation, we'll explore an increasing breath technique to gently lengthen each inhale and exhale—helping you calm the mind, settle the body and find ease in the present moment. Along the way, we’ll move through three simple mantras to anchor your awareness and feel grounded amidst the chaos of your day. This short meditation is perfect for a midday reset or a peaceful pause whenever you need to recenter. 🌿 Be the First to Know I’m creating something special for November, and my newsletter friends will hear about it first.
