In this 8 minute meditation we practice the careful, yet powerful reminder:
In our (humanistic) pursuit of having everything, it is the appreciation of what we already have - right here and right now - that leads to content-ness, peace and happiness.
In this season, we powerfully remind ourselves that true happiness isn't found in possessing everything, but rather in cherishing and being thankful for what we already have. As we immerse ourselves in this practice, we're guided to recognize and embrace the abundance that surrounds us. Only here can we occupy a fulfilling and joyful life. x

When our system cannot find safety through the body, it tries to find safety through the mind. And how does the mind find safety? Through worrying, overthinking, ruminating, projecting, comparing, distracting. To find safety in the body, we have to slow down and show the body we care. Seems easy enough right? It is hard, it takes courage and patience. It takes courage to remain soft in hard times. When we transfer our safety from the mind to the body—there, the change blooms into trust and empowerment. Lie down for a 18 minute meditation and be guided to this care. It takes courage to prioritize your well-being – let's take this step together. Catt x
