Meditation Practises

5/20/2014

There a thousands upon thousands of ways to meditate, and every person's practise is unique, whether it stems from a thousand year old tradition taught in a Buddhist temple, or from a classroom exploring mindfulness. 

My hope is that these videos will offer insight into some of these different meditations, and help you in developing your own practise.  I offer these guided meditations not only as a meditation facilitator, but in the spirit of sharing a meditative space. 

Breath meditations are my personal favorite, because you can do them anywhere, and no one even needs to know you're meditating!

Thanks for sharing your meditation time with me, and I look forward to seeing you again next week! Don't forget, you can now sign up for a personal one-on-one Skype session.

Color Meditation

5/14/2014

0 Comments

 
Welcome back fellow meditators! Today's meditation is a short meditation combining a colour visualization with a body scan. Although a strange paradox, this is a useful meditation for helping you fall asleep, or if you need a little more focus in your day. 


Like what you see here? Sign up for a personalized Skype session! You'll get a 15 or 30 minute one-on-one meditation session with Luisa, tailored for your needs. To book, go here. 

Thanks for watching, and see you again next week!

Skype Sessions

I first came across Skype lessons in England. A well-known and established flute teacher offered one-on-one online lessons, conducted via Skype, as a means of making lessons accessible to people who couldn't travel to his rural village on a regular basis. 

I was skeptical, but keen to work with the teacher, so I decided to give it a go. The lesson was fantastic, and I got a lot out of the hour. Since that first lesson over two years ago, I have had singing lessons via Skype, conducted interviews, and, most rewardingly, helped out a few friends in crisis with virtual meditation sessions. 

While I will always prefer real life to the virtual, Skype offers us a way to connect, and share our skills, over time zones and across the world. 

For all bookings, or questions, please get in touch here. 

See you on Skype soon!

Meditation for Stress

5/5/2014

If you're human, chances are you have at some point (or many), dealt with stress. Meditation doesn't make stress go away entirely, but it does help take the edge off. Mindfulness can help us to face stressful situations with more calm and clarity. 

In this meditation, learn to check in with your breath and body, and use your breath to help alleviate the physical symptoms of stress.
