Part meditation, part journaling practice... this episode is here to help you reframe, replenish and step into your power & wholeness during chaotic times. Right now, this is obviously about coping with covid-19, but this conversation applies to any time you experience a life rupture or major shift in your circumstances: divorce, job loss, a move, friendships breaking up, family conflict, a diagnosis, difficult news, personal crisis... you get it. Drop in with this one to unplug from the drama and chaos, settle the mental hurricane of stress and responsibility that's swirling around/on top of you... and plug back into your own source of gravity, ease and peace. Take 30 minutes to shift your experience of transformational times and  potentially alter the trajectory of your entire life. Your future self will thank you. And if you desire deeper support, reach out and let's talk about what you want & how I can support you.

This conversation + meditation is for the mamas who are doing their work and are wanting their people to feel better, too... but feel a bit lost or helpless about how to help them. Lauren also talks about ways love gets tangled by fear, becoming manipulative or controlling without us even realizing it and a pattern that may be sabotaging your relatinships: Tending-and-Befriending, a trauma response where you react to stress or fear by over-nurturing (aka fixing all the people and all the things so that everything can be okay.)  If you want to unravel your tend-and-befriend trauma response, Lauren is excellent at holding space for that.

This meditation offers a grounding & inspiring space for you to remember that it's safe to be you and that the real you is both wanted & needed. Touch the Earth and reconnect with who you really are - under all the masks of perfection or the shame of "should"s, outside of your roles as mother, wife, caregiver, business owner, sister, friend, etc.  Re-awaken your pleasure, passion and confidence so that you can go out into the world and do what you're here to do with so much love and warmth and strength. Use this meditation when you feel blah, lost/confused, doubtful, stressed/anxious/overwhelmed, or when you're needing a little extra hope, power & confidence.

A heart-healing quickie! This is a short but powerful meditation that you can squeeze in anytime to tend your heart space. This heart healing is a great daily practice. It's a good go-to, all-purpose, multi-use tool for your emotional wellness toolkit! What's really great about it is that the more you do it, the easier and more natural it becomes to check in with your heart mid-conflict or as you're running errands, etc. If you find yourself swimming in the "I don't know's" where mental fog is too strong to make any sort of decision or take action... or if you're too busy & overwhelmed to even think about adding mental wellness to your to-do list... or if you're settling for less that what you want in your life because you're able to see the silver lining or put a positive spin on it... or if you're waiting for the "right time" or perfect circumstances to start taking care of yourself in some way... then I especially recommend that you drop in and check on your heart with this meditation. If you drop in and find your heart is going through some trauma/wounding or her light is low... you can follow-up this meditation with the episode Let There Be Light.

This meditation is for the times when you feel down, defeated, tender, or even depressed... when unresolved trauma or the pressure to fix yourself and figure things out is dimming your light. It's such a sweet reminder of who you really are and what you're capable of. It's a sigh of relief and permission to stop fixing and reaching and chasing... and start being and living and breathing as your truest self. As you listen and receive this healing, you will feel parts of you lighting up, turning back on and remembering. It's empowering and sweet and so supportive. May you remember your light today. If you are desiring more spaciousness and heart healing and turning on beyond the podcast, check out more ways to work with me at my website. www.balancedrootsreiki.comSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=LVA398BEEHGHL&source=url)
