Mental Oasis

Replenishing Energy

The energetic experience of feeling discouraged or drained is common to all human beings - our energy can feel like a VERY finite resource at times. Take a moment with today's episode to connect to inner reserves of compassion and to the collective emotional experience in order to replenish energy and feel restored.

The Fear of Making Mistakes

The fear of making mistakes can be paralyzing - it can result in procrastination, or in us holding back from doing or saying things that otherwise we would want to. 

But what if we could let some of this go? Feel a little bit bolder, a little bit less afraid to make ourselves vulnerable. 

It has been said that we write the book we ourselves need to read - or in this case record the podcast episode that we need to hear! So this one is for me. Join me in this reflection on how to let go of fear.

Self Acceptance

In today's episode we spend some time reflecting on and absorbing the ideas that we are already good enough as we are - there's nothing that we have to do, no aim that has to be filled before we can be good enough. Building our acceptance of this can bring a sense of peace.

Intentions for the New Year

The new year is a natural time to review and reset - with 2020 having been such a challenging year I know that many of us have high hopes for 2021. But as we're perhaps all coming into this year a bit bruised, it can be helpful to bring an attitude of compassion to our perspective on the new year. We reflect on this in today's guided meditation on setting intentions.
