Esther's Everyday Meditation: Recent Episodes
Esther M Palmer
Weekly meditation practices offered with an "everyday" attitude. I share new episodes on Fridays: a meditation practice and an accompanying "how to" with some "what and why" context that's useful for first-time and regular listeners alike. Once a month I dig a little deeper into that context. Extended show notes at https://esthermpalmer.com/meditation.

Practice Sat Yam kriya as a breathing technique or as a kriya meditation technique. Includes guided instruction for all non-silent components. Listen to the recent "How to Practice" episode for context and a step by step walk through.
BREATHING INTO SAT YAM KRIYA
Where breathing sometimes overwhelms my practice of Hum Sa kriya, I find the opposite to be true with Sat Yam kriya: breathing always leads me in to the kriya technique in an effortless way. But that's just me! Your experience may be different, similar, or not really even in the same ballpark!
What’s in this episode?
Before teaching Sat Yam kriya, I share my experience with breathing and Sat Yam kriya (in the How To episode) -- and what I mean by "being led by breathing."
How can you use this practice?
You might try this practice to bring attention to how your breathing does or doesn't play a role in your meditation practice (and if you tuned in last week, perhaps compare with your experience in Hum Sa kriya).
I also love Sat Yam kriya for feeling connected to something bigger than me -- even just the literal space around me, wherever I am.
Give it a try when you're ready!
Be moving, be true, be you

Practice Hum Sa kriya meditation technique and see how your breathing plays into it. Includes guided instruction for all non-silent components. Some context and a step-by-step walk through are in the accompanying "How to Practice" episode. More info in the show notes below and at https://esthermpalmer.com
BREATHING CHOICE + HUM SA KRIYA
If you've been with me for a while, you've probably heard me go on and on about the magic of our breathing. I'm fascinated by how it works anatomically, and how it transforms our moment to moment experience in feeling. When it comes to meditation, breathing is a tremendous aid and, sometimes, a bit overpowering...
What’s in this episode?
We're returning to the practice of Hum Sa kriya this week, and in the How To, I talk about what happens when your breathing becomes the primary focus -- instead of the kriya (the "focusing mind action"). Fair warning, for some of you, hearing about this possibility may create it where it was not an issue before! So feel free to skip if you're not particularly curious.
After practicing
If you are curious, you might check in after your practice: how did breathing participate? What held your focus most easily: the kriya or breathing? Neither is right or wrong (despite my framing breathing as getting in the way), just different practices. Which do you prefer?
Give it a try when you're ready!
Be moving, be true, be you
