Daily Meditation Podcast

This week on The Daily Meditation Podcast, we’re beginning a special 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently release emotional buildup and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and inner balance. So many of us move through our days carrying emotions we never had time to process — lingering stress, emotional fatigue, or subtle tension that quietly accumulates. This series offers a supportive pause, giving your nervous system space to settle and your emotional world room to reset. Each day, you’ll be guided through a short meditation with a specific emotional focus,...

#1651 Day 4 #1651 Day 4 "Restorative Peace:" A Gentle Path to Peace meditation series

Daily Meditation Podcast

In this fourth episode of the Peace series, we explore the deeply cleansing and restorative Ksepana Mudra—a hand gesture traditionally used to release heaviness, emotional residue, and mental clutter. This practice invites you to gently let go of what you’ve been holding, especially the stress and tension that tend to accumulate during busy seasons or at the close of the year. With your hands shaped in Ksepana Mudra, fingers interlaced and index fingers extended, you’ll be guided to imagine old energy flowing out and fresh clarity flowing in. Paired with slow, steady breathing, this...

#1652 Day 5: #1652 Day 5: "Creating Confidence" - A Gentle Path to Peace Meditations

Daily Meditation Podcast

In this fifth episode of the Peace series, we turn our attention to the Third Chakra—Manipura, the center of inner strength, confidence, and personal power. During seasons of transition, this chakra can become clouded by doubt, fatigue, or emotional heaviness, making it harder to feel grounded or at peace. Today’s practice is designed to gently reignite the warm, steady flame within you—without force, pressure, or striving. Through calming guided awareness, you’ll be invited to soften into the area around your solar plexus, releasing tension and reconnecting with the quiet strength...

Daily Meditation Podcast

In this third episode of the Peace series, we shift from simply seeking calm to actively cultivating it through the breath. Today’s practice features a gentle Peace Breath—a soothing technique that lengthens the exhale to settle the nervous system, quiet racing thoughts, and bring the whole body into a state of ease. As you slowly inhale and exhale, you’ll be guided to melt tension, soften the shoulders, and release the internal pressure often stirred by busy seasons and crowded calendars. This is a simple rhythm with powerful effects, restoring a sense of spaciousness where stress...

#1649 Day 2: #1649 Day 2: "Peace Affirmation" (BONUS expanded episode) - A Gentle Path to Peace Meditations

Daily Meditation Podcast

In this second episode of the Peace series, we move gently from intention into embodiment. Today’s practice centers around a simple yet powerful peace affirmation—one designed to settle the heart, quiet the mind, and remind the body that it is safe to rest. As you breathe and repeat this affirmation, you’ll be guided to release tension that often hides beneath the surface during busy seasons. This episode is perfect for moments when the world feels heavy, the calendar feels full, or your thoughts feel restless. Peace does not need to be chased. It can be chosen. And today, you are...
