Cravings can feel intense... like waves that rise and crash, demanding our attention. Whether it’s food, substances, technology, or habits, these urges can easily pull us out of alignment with our values. But mindfulness offers a powerful path toward greater awareness, resilience, and choice.
In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we offer a guided meditation to help you observe cravings without judgment and respond with clarity and compassion. Rather than pushing cravings away or giving in, this practice supports you in riding the wave of the urge—grounded in presence and empowered by choice.
In This Guided Meditation, You Will Be Invited To:
✔ Recognize the physical and emotional sensations of cravings
✔ Cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of urges as they arise
✔ Visualize cravings as passing waves in the vast ocean of your awareness
✔ Anchor your attention in the breath and body to create space between urge and action
✔ Reaffirm that you are not your cravings—you are the awareness observing them
Whether you’re a mindfulness teacher, therapist, or practitioner seeking support in your personal journey, this meditation offers a practical and compassionate way to manage cravings with mindfulness.
🌿 Return to this meditation anytime you feel pulled by craving—and remember the peace and strength that already lives within you.
