Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)There Is Room: Learning to Widen Attention in Everyday LifeLately, I’ve been noticing how narrow my attention can become.When I’m stressed, overwhelmed, or rushing from one obligation to the next, my awareness collapses around whatever feels most urgent. A thought. A problem. A sensation. A feeling that says, fix this now.Today’s meditation grew out of a practice I’ve been returning to again and again: open focus.Open focus is a way of paying attention that doesn’t lock onto a single object. Instead of gripping the breath or wrestling with a thought, we let attention widen. We allow t...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Learning to Stay Present in a World That Won’t Slow DownThis practice began the way so many moments in life do: with the eyes open.I’ve been paying closer attention to vision lately—not just what I’m looking at, but how I’m looking. Our vision shapes how we take in information, which shapes how we think, which shapes how we react. When my attention feels scattered or overwhelmed, it’s often because my field of awareness has collapsed down to a single problem, a single thought, a single irritation.So we began this meditation by resting the eyes on one simple point in front o...

Keith Condie & Trinette StanleyIn the last few months two senior evangelical leaders have taken their own lives. The Archbishop’s letter said ‘It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you of the death of a colleague and friend … who took his own life on Tuesday and our hearts are heavy at this time as we come before God with our tears, questions and … hope in the promise of resurrection.’We react with a range of questions: Should I hav...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Stop the Spiral: How 20 Connected Breaths Create Emotional SpaceWhen I guide this practice, I’m always struck by how quickly the mind can spiral — and how quickly the breath can interrupt that spiral. Most of us don’t need more advice or more willpower. We need a small wedge of space inside the moment where everything feels tight, urgent, or overwhelming.Today’s meditation is that wedge.In this episode, I lead you through a breath sequence called 20 Connected Breaths. It’s simple: inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale — four times — followed by one big inhale and a soft release. That’s one round. We repeat the cycle...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)How to Work With Thoughts: A Guided Meditation for Busy MindsLately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how noisy the inner world can get. There’s so much happening out there—globally, collectively, personally—that by the time we sit down, the mind is already in motion. Buzzing. Planning. Replaying. Solving. Trying to help, even if it sometimes feels like too much help.In this week’s guided practice, I wanted to focus on something simple and powerful: the quality of our thinking mind and how breath becomes the anchor that steadies the whole system. When life gets fast, we forget that our breath is right there—alwa...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Come Back to Your Body: A Guided Body Scan for Stress and OverthinkingThere are days when my mind feels like it’s sprinting while my body is still back at the starting line. On those days, I return to this simple practice — moving attention slowly through the body, sensation by sensation, breath by breath. Not to fix anything. Not to force calm. But simply to notice what’s here.When I guide this practice, I always begin with the reminder that there’s no ideal state waiting for us. We’re not doing meditation “right” or doing it “wrong.” We’re just meeting the moment as it unfolds — breath to breath, sensation t...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Slow Down and Pay Attention: A Meditation for Grounding Your Body and BreathI’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to show up for ourselves—not in the self-optimisation way we’re usually sold, but in the quiet, ordinary sense. The way we show up when we sit down, close our eyes, and let ourselves be a person again. Not a task list. Not an identity. Just… a person.In today’s practice, I invite you into a gentle reset. We begin with intention—an honest look at what brings you here. Sometimes the intention is clear (“I’m overwhelmed and I need help”). Sometimes it’s soft, more like a wh...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)The Three-Times Rule: How to Sit With Distraction Without SufferingIn this week’s Q&A episode of Sit, Walk, Work, someone asked a question I hear all the time:“When my practice extends beyond 15 or 20 minutes, my body starts hurting. Is that normal?”Short answer: yes.Long answer: It’s an invitation.When we sit still longer than we’re used to, the body does exactly what a child does when we suddenly give them our undivided attention—it dumps everything it’s been holding. A little ache behind the knee, a pull in the low back, a buzzing in the hands… sud...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Listen Deeply: The Meditation of Paying AttentionWhen I first sat down to meditate years ago, I thought the goal was silence — that if I could quiet my thoughts, I’d finally find peace. But over time, I realized peace doesn’t come from pushing things away. It comes from listening — deeply, compassionately — to what’s already here.In this week’s Sit, Walk, Work practice, we explored listening as an act of meditation. The teaching came from Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Art of Communicating, where he reminds us that listening is first a practice with ourselves. Before we can truly hear another person, we have...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Find the Space Between Thought and ReactionSome weeks, my mind moves faster than I can catch it.A judgment flashes about someone—a colleague, a friend—and before I’ve taken a breath, I’ve decided who they are and how I’ll respond. But in a quiet moment of meditation, I realized something simple but radical: that thought wasn’t true. It was just my mind, spinning a story. Gotcha That realization shaped this week’s practice: a meditation to help us find the space between thought and reaction. We begin by feeling the weight of the body—grounded, steady—then shift toward...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)How to Use Everyday Sensations as Meditation AnchorsThere are days when my attention feels like it’s been tossed in a dozen directions—emails, conversations, noise in the background, noise in my head. That’s where anchors come in. In meditation, anchors are those steady points we rest our attention on: the breath, the body, and the sounds around us. They remind us that even in chaos, we can choose where to land.When I sit down to practice, I start with the breath. It’s the most familiar rhythm we have—rising, pausing, falling, pausing again. Just watching that cycle can change everything. You might...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)The Middle Way: Finding Balance in the Push and Pull of LifeThere’s a quiet moment that arrives just after I close my eyes — that instant when I can feel the shift from doing to being. In that space, I’m reminded that everything in our practice is a dance between opposites.Today’s meditation grew out of that very idea. In my yoga class earlier, we explored how opposites shape equilibrium — how the pendulum of life constantly swings, yet somehow we stay grounded in the middle. It’s one thing to talk about balance on the mat, but quite another to notice it in the everyday: the inhale and e...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)🌿 The Season of Change: A Meditation on RenewalEvery season asks something of us.Autumn, in particular, invites a sense of release. It reminds us that letting go isn’t loss—it’s preparation. In this week’s guided meditation, I explore how the transitions of nature mirror our own inner cycles. Through the body, the breath, and awareness, we practice softening into change and remembering that renewal begins with paying attention.Lately, I’ve been feeling the subtle shift in the air—the way mornings are quieter, how the light hits differently through the window. Nature is changing clothes again. And like it or not, w...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Sitting with Loss Breathing Through What RemainsToday’s meditation brought me face-to-face with a theme many of us try to avoid: loss and grief. These are not abstract ideas—they show up in our daily lives in ways both subtle and sharp.When I think of grief, it’s not just the loss of a loved one. It can be the traffic jam that robs us of the time we wanted to spend differently, the relationship that changes in ways we didn’t expect, or the promotion that didn’t materialize. Even something as ordinary as waking up with a stiff back can carry its...

Sit,Walk,Work (SW^2)Finding Balance in Change: A Guided Meditation for Peace and PresenceThis week on Sit, Walk, Work, I led a guided meditation centered on spaciousness and impermanence—two qualities that shape not only our practice, but the way we live every day.We began with the breath. Each inhale and exhale was a reminder that no two moments are ever the same. Impermanence reveals itself here: every breath is similar, yet completely unique. It’s the same truth that shows up in daily life. A difficult conversation with a partner or coworker may feel endless, but just like the breath, it changes. Tension softens, moods shift, and what feel...

Not just the job we get paid for, but the ongoing work of being human — washing dishes, sending emails, having conversations, solving problems.So often, these tasks happen on autopilot. We brush our teeth while planning the day, eat lunch while checking messages, or listen to someone talk while preparing our response. Life becomes a blur of things to get through rather than experiences to be present for.This episode is the final pa...

This session is about shifting our attention away from measurement — the constant evaluations of “Am I good enough?” or “Am I doing this right?” — and into a space of possibility, abundance, and contribution.This week, I invite you to carry a simple guiding question:“How will I be a contribution in this moment?”Instead of focusing on comparison or scarcity, this practice helps you reconnect with your unique gifts, the pres...

The kind that shows up when you’re learning something new, navigating a relationship shift, facing work unknowns, or simply trying to sit with your thoughts.For me, this theme hit home while training in jiu-jitsu.
