In this practice, we direct attention to different areas of the body, such as the feet and the breath, in order to train our minds to be present. When our mind wanders, we gently bring our attention back to the chosen focus. This is a foundational technique for meditation. Over time, it enhances our ability to stay present in and to bring calm into any moment.

This guided affirmation practice supports emotional and spiritual healing from harm that has been inflicted upon us or that we carry in our bodies from our family lineages. It reminds us of our capacity to heal and to release what does not serve us.

As the calendar turns from one year to another, we are invited to reflect and take stock of our journey. This guided journaling practice leads you through a process of reflection, encouraging you to revisit the highlights and challenges of the past year, to identify unhealthy patterns, and to cultivate gratitude for the people, experiences, and circumstances that have shaped your journey. While designed for the end of the calendar year, this is also a good practice to utilize at the end of an academic year, fiscal year, or other transition points.
