  • A Practice for Turning Toward Difficulty
    When we are experiencing difficult emotions or situations, our first impulse is often to look for a way out—usually through distracting, numbing, running, or denying.   But what if the key to getting to the other side of difficulty is to simply be with it, offering the discomfort our courageous awareness and presence?  In this week’s practice, author and meditation teacher Ed Halliwell guides us through a meditation we can lean on when things get tough.   Note that this practice includes longer pauses of complete silence for reflection and presence. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go.      If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

  • A Meditation to Help You Make Any Decision—Big or Small
    You might not think of mindfulness as being a resource to help with decision-making, but moments of intentional silence can sharpen our mental clarity and help us discern which choices feel most aligned.  In this guided practice, meditation teacher Toby Sola offers a simple technique you can use, whether you’re facing a life-changing choice or are just feeling overwhelmed by all the small decisions that often crowd our busy lives.   Note that this practice includes pauses of complete silence that might be longer than our listeners are accustomed to. This is to give you time to spend in contemplation. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go.      If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

  • A Meditation to Ease Into Sleep
    If you’ve ever been awake at three a.m., tossing and turning and wishing you could snap your fingers and get back to sleep, then you know: the more you try to fall asleep, the less likely you are to drift off. In this week’s guided practice, we’re revisiting a meditation with Mark Bertin that can release the striving, let go of tension, and make it easier for body and mind to settle into rest.  A quick note: Since this is a sleep meditation, you won’t be hearing a closing bell or statement like usual, but instead just a drifting off into silence.  If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

  • Explore 3 Techniques in This Meditation Buffet
    Have you ever wondered why there are so many varieties of meditation practices, and why some of them seem to contradict each other in approach, style, or even objective?  In today’s guided practice, meditation teacher Toby Sola walks us through three common types of meditation. Plus, he explains why the word “meditation” is very much like the word “sport”—and how all these different practices actually share the same overarching purpose.  If you’re new to meditation or curious about trying new approaches, you’ll love this week’s practice.  Note that there are intentional pauses included in today's recording. If you'd like more time to practice the techniques outlined here, please feel free to pause the recording as you go along.   If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  There’s still time to get in on some of our best Mother’s Day deals!

  • A Meditation on Connecting Lands and Stories
    Many modern Western cultures don’t have a deep understanding of land as a source of collective identity, story, or purpose. There is a sense that, yes, land can be lovely—but it is mainly seen as a source of recreation or extraction, not necessarily as an integral part of what shapes us and future generations.   In this guided practice, Indigenous scholar and teacher Yuria Celidwen introduces a fresh way to consider our connection to the natural spaces around us. This is a practice that invites reverence, gratitude, and belonging, where our experience of the earth moves from being strictly transactional to being interconnected and relational.  This meditation is part of our Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement series, where we're sharing guided practices from the women featured in our 2025 special edition of Mindful magazine.   If you’d like the transcription of this guided meditation, it will be online on Mindful.org next week.  Curious about the many benefits of being a member?
