Free Mindfulness Practices and Guided Excercises
Below are some guided mindfulness exercises and meditations I’ve developed for my clients and meditation students and I am offering them here freely as streaming audio, mp3 download, and as podcasts.
You can listen to them here as streaming audio or right click on the title to download as an mp3.
There is also a link at the bottom of the page to subscribe to them as podcasts. If you choose to subscribe you will receive every audio offering I make in the future as they are available. You can use any application that receives .rss feeds. ‘Itunes’ is one example of this. These are also available for free on the Itunes store.
Please use these exercises and meditations at your own discretion. If you feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable at any point, discontinue the exercise.
Therapists please also feel free to link to this page or distribute the audio link to your clients.
