  • Yoga Nidra for Deep Nervous System Restoration: 20 Minute Meditation

    Yoga Nidra for Deep Nervous System Restoration: 20 Minute Meditation
    May 6 2026
    🧘 This is our very first Yoga Nidra session together. Yoga Nidra (also known as yogic sleep) is a restorative meditation practice, which helps guide the body into a deep state of relaxation, while the mind remains aware. It’s a powerful practice to help regulate the nervous system, release tension in the body and mind, and guide you into that delicate space between wakefulness and sleep (perfect for healing and subconscious reprogramming). During this practice, we’ll move through a gentle yet swift & rhythmic body scan, at a pace that maintains awareness, while allowing the body to fully surrender. This helps keep the mind lightly engaged, supporting that dreamlike state that Yoga Nidra is known for. Throughout the meditation, we also work with balancing energy throughout the body with the breath, by bringing awareness to both the left and right hemispheres individually, and then together as one. We will close our practice with a peaceful visualization under the vast night sky, where you can connect deeply with your personal intention, or sankalpa. It is best to do this practice lying down, or if you wish to nap or sleep after. Take a deep breath, and allow yourself to graciously receive this healing practice. ♡ With love, Jo __ Explore more from A Zen Mind Join me on ⁠Instagram⁠ 💖 ⁠ azenmindglobal.com⁠ Ad-free + extended episodes on ⁠Patreon⁠ Join the ⁠email list⁠ — Our Partners Mental Health Support: Talkiatry Online psychiatry with licensed providers and personalized, evidence-based care — all from home.

  • Meditation for the Now: No Future, No Past, Just Now

    Meditation for the Now: No Future, No Past, Just Now
    Apr 29 2026
    🐚 This practice was created with the sole intention to bring you back to the now. In 2010, Harvard University researchers found that “a wandering mind is an unhappy mind." So often, our suffering isn’t coming from what’s happening right now… it’s coming from the past we’re replaying or the future we’re anticipating. This meditation gently guides you out of that mental noise, and back into the purity of now. Through a simple & immersive visualization, you’ll be invited to fully experience the present moment, not just understand it conceptually, but actually feel what it’s like to be here. Beyond the ego, beyond the timelines, memories and future worries. To be grounded in your body. To be connected to your breath. To exist without needing to go anywhere else.

  • A Gentle Meditation for Burnout, Overwhelm, & Overstimulation

    A Gentle Meditation for Burnout, Overwhelm, & Overstimulation
    Apr 22 2026
    🪐This meditation is a safe landing for when you’re feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, or emotionally overstimulated. So often, even during rest or meditation, we’re still trying to do something. This practice is different. Here, you’re invited to do nothing. To listen to your body, and give it whatever it needs. This gentle meditation is an invitation to soften, to slow down, and to meet yourself with grace and compassion when you’re at capacity. It’s spacious, grounding, and created with lots of love and compassion, to help you reconnect back with your true self.

  • Rewire for Success, Love, & Abundance: Guided Meditation to Feel Your Positive Future

    Rewire for Success, Love, & Abundance: Guided Meditation to Feel Your Positive Future
    Apr 8 2026
    UPDATED⛰️We are all deeply worthy of the life we desire. Success, health, abundance, love, all of it is available to us. Yet so often, we find ourselves caught in pushing, forcing, and striving. These patterns keep us in a state of survival, and disconnected from our ability to receive. This meditation brings you back to your core, reminding you that you are worthy of a beautiful and fulfilling life, without needing to prove or earn it. This is an active meditation, where we move through reflective questions and affirmations, while creating space to truly feel and experience the positivity that you are calling into your future.

  • Meditation for Patience: Go Slowly

    Meditation for Patience: Go Slowly
    Apr 1 2026
    ⏳ Patience is a practice. During this meditation, we focus on cultivating the energy of patience, softening the urge to rush, control outcomes, or jump to conclusions. These patterns often keep us in cycles of urgency and reactivity, until we bring more conscious awareness to them. Through a simple visualization, you’ll be guided to create space. Space for things to breathe, unfold, and resolve in their own time. We shift into the energy of acceptance, ease, and flow, releasing tension, urgency, and the need to force what isn’t ready. As we close the practice, we anchor in a beautiful, simple mantra: “slowly… slowly… slowly…” A reminder of what true patience feels like.
