The meditative journey begins with mindfulness of the body. By bringing our awareness into the body we begin to explore and awaken to our inner dimension of thoughts, sensations, and emotions which constantly arise within our immediate experience. Becoming familiar with ourselves in this way allows us to relax into this natural process and develop compassion and appreciation for all aspects of ourselves and others.
The following guided meditation practices provide a starting point in this meditative journey and provide a foundation for subsequent practices.

“To begin to meditate is to look into our lives with interest and kindness and discover how to be wakeful and free.”
