Our brains need rest and our bodies need rest - so take 1% of your day and let's rest together.
This podcast wa...2022-11-2410 minLiz Teaches MeditationThank you for meditating! / Life update!Today we are celebrating (about) 5000 listens on this podcast in less than a year! I want to send a huge thank you to YOU. Thank you for continuing to meditate and thank you for making the world a more happy and safe place to live.
As an FYI, I record the podcast in the suburbs of NJ (that's why you might hear birds in the background!) and I'm a wellness coach at a NYC hospital and I coach employees and teach mindfulness to front line workers.

So here we go - I'm excited!

AND they go from one small problem to blowing it...2022-11-2105 minLiz Teaches MeditationYour future self | a reflective mediationThis podcast was inspired by my mom - shout out to Arlene! She had an incredible insight that channeling her future self when she was having a hard time helped her find her center and reminded her of her power and strength. NAILED IT MOM!
I'm bringing you a beautiful (if I do say so myself) reflection where you'll connect with your future self and that will guide you to the truth.
Enjoy this time with the wisest you. You won't regret it.

While this is not a "mindfulness" meditation, it is a relaxation practice created by Herbert Benson that does the exact opposite of the stress response... AKA try it yourself! Choosing an easeful word or phrase on your exhalation puts quiets the mind and I can't wait to hear what you think!
Sending love and light and thanks for practicing. Keep up the great work!2022-11-1310 minLiz Teaches MeditationBest 10 second stress reduction technique - #BOB!Friends! Meet BOB. BOB has saved me and dozens of the employees I work with from panic and anxiety. BOB is a simple technique you can do before meditation to calm your nervous system or do during the day. It's a life savor. Let's practice together and let me know in the comments what you think.

You know, there’s the part that’s happy and the part that’s confused. The part that’s organized and the part that’s creative. And there is always a part of us that wants the best for ourselves.
Today we pause and notice the part of us that knows how we feel and knows what we need. Let’s acknowledge this part of us by supporting what it needs to be well.
Let me know what you think of this reflection. I LOVE parts work...2022-09-2812 minLiz Teaches MeditationSettling in (meditation with shorter prompts and less guidance)In today's mindfulness meditation I give you more time between short prompts to practice the simple and beautiful practice of sitting.
Enjoy the moments of peace.2022-09-2112 minLiz Teaches MeditationTouching downWhen life feels scattered it's important to ground down and experience your body connected to the earth. By touching down we acknowledge the reality of the moment and create more space to be aware and alive in the world.
Enjoy this deeply relaxing meditation!2022-09-1411 minLiz Teaches MeditationReflecting on strengthsIn today's meditation we appreciate the body and breath and when our minds wander off to memories or zooms to the future, we choose to focus our mind and reflect on our strengths.
Deliberately choosing to acknowledge our goodness is a practice work doing!2022-09-0710 minLiz Teaches MeditationHow are you right now?Todays mindfulness practice we have you use the mantra "how am I right now" to kindly bring your attention back from past and future thinking.
Key Takeaways :
Being in the present moment means committing to bring your awareness back to your breath and body.

Notice how the invitation to re-language a thought with acknowledgment, appreciation and support reduces the sting and weight of the thought.
Try this mindfulness meditation when you are seeking ease and peace and a greater perspective.
Keep practicing and be good all!
Much love :)2022-08-1613 minLiz Teaches MeditationPracticing PatienceTo be patient we must choose to slow down.

Liz Teaches MeditationSlowing downLife moves fast. There's a lot of noise happening inside heads and outside our lives. By taking a moment to pause and notice the steady pace of the breath and the feeling of weight in the body, we start to feel safe enough to slow down.
Thanks for chilling out with me today and as always ... thanks for meditating.

Experts say we have 60,000 thoughts a day. To free ourself from worry, fear and anxiety we need to practice having a thought, recognizing the thought, and bringing attention back to this moment.
Here I give you two present moment experiences (breath and body) to choose from as your anchor. I increase the time spent "meditating" to give you a chance to notice thoughts and gently guide your attention back here.
This one is fun! Let me know what you think.

To eliminate worry we must come back to the present moment and remind ourself that we are safe right now.
I wish you less and less worry. Reach out for help with anxiety @lizteachesyoga

The continual "doing" is exhausting. In meditation we don't have a goal. We see what life is like if we let everything be. Give it a shot today.
Thanks for your practice. Good luck out there :)

I find this manifesting practice revolutionary.
Can't wait to hear about the goals you achieve and most importantly the journey you've had.
Thanks for practicing. 2022-05-1706 minLiz Teaches MeditationPerception of selfWe spend most of our day thinking about what we think others are thinking of us.
It is not?!
Powerful.
Let's spend time noticing how we are today, without comparison to others or how we were before.
Thanks for practicing to think like yourself!2022-05-1306 minLiz Teaches MeditationTime outIt's break time! Give yourself permission to spend half a percent of your day reflecting on how you're feeling. Trust me, it's worth your time!
Thanks for practicing.2022-05-1005 minLiz Teaches MeditationBack to BasicsMeditation isn't fancy! Today we take a quick break to get back to the fundamentals of meditation. All we've got to do it sit, breathe and be.2022-05-0705 minLiz Teaches MeditationServing and ReceivingIT sucks to feel burnt out - like we are giving too much all the time. A lot of us know what compassion fatigue feels like.
Good thing is ... there's another perspective. We're always receiving. We receive breath and body sensations and kindness and sunlight. We can even receive gravity and be thankful for being supported by a chair or cushion or the ground.
Today we tap into receiving and allow our heart to open to what's here so we can spend less time in the ego world and more time living.2022-04-1909 minLiz Teaches MeditationWalking in your own shoes#Trust.
I heard a great quote from Brene Brown that went something like, "You don't need to walk in someone else's shoes. You need to believe how they feel walking in their own shoes. And to do so, you must believe in yourself".
Today we trust how we feel and we see that we can be with whatever that is.
Trust me, you're gonna like this mindfulness meditation!
Thanks for practicing :)2022-04-1407 minLiz Teaches MeditationMindful of the breathMindfulness isn't a big production. It's not a mysterious state of mind and it's not something out of reach.
Key Takeaways :
We focus our awareness on the exhale of the breath as a first step toward being mindful of this moment.

Accepting opens up space in our minds and hearts for what's importance. It helps us move. Let go.
Let's sit and accept this body and these thoughts and this moment as it is so we can let in the good.2022-04-0211 minLiz Teaches MeditationSimple meditationToday's 5 minute practice reminds us that we don't need to fix anything to meditate.
By taking a moment to find a comfortable seat, taking a few deep breaths and noticing our experience we are on our way to freedom.
Enjoy and thank you for practicing mindfulness meditation
@lizteachesyoga2022-03-3005 minLiz Teaches MeditationFor those of us with thoughts ...Got thoughts? Lots of them? Can't seem to quiet the mind? Join the club! All this makes you human.
I've got bad news - we don't meditate to stop thoughts and meditators are not fake people with no thoughts.
We use meditate to become aware our thoughts. Meditation helps us see our thoughts content, their flavor, their charge and eventually we notice that thoughts change. They come and go. They aren't facts.
Today we explore experiencing thoughts without judgement which can take a heavy load off our plate!
Thanks for practicing. 2022-03-2310 minLiz Teaches MeditationSpacious MeditationIn today's mindfulness meditation we see if we can tap into the feeling of spaciousness. We put down distractions and anything that pulls us away from feeling flow and we tune into space in the body and breath.
This is a good practice to use during the day when you're feeling tight and constricted.
I'm thinking of you all, sending love and freedom.2022-03-1711 minLiz Teaches MeditationSeeing yourself as worthyIn this mindfulness meditation we move slowly from awareness of our breath and body, to feeling friendliness from another, all the way to atempting to feel love for ourselves.
Set aside 10 minutes for self worth. It's always worth it. I love you all! Thanks for praciting!2022-03-1511 minLiz Teaches Meditation5 second rule - a meditation when you're stuck in negative thinkingOur brains are designed stick to the negative ... It sucks but we do it to survive. What does this mean for you? It means you need to consciously practice inserting positive thoughts when you're stuck in rumination.
As soon as you notice a negative thought just count down 5,4,3,2,1 to zap that thought in real time! It's quick, easy and free. Even a 2 year old can do it.
Let me know how it goes and thanks for listening! We've got 2000 downloads!! We are changing the world!

1. Be vulnerable enough to truly feel your feelings
2. See if you can sit with the feelings
3. Change perspectives.
I found this REVOLUTIONARY!
In today's practice we open to the possibility of being with emotions, we touch into the experience of feeling (perhaps a more challenging feelings) and we shift our view so we can see ourselves as we really are and not how we think we are. This is a new tool in your tool kit and the coolest part is you...2022-03-0610 minLiz Teaches MeditationHumans are story tellersHumans are story tellers. That's what makes us so unique. We use language to share experiences and connect.
Unfortunately we use the same story telling expertise to self narrate our lives. And sometimes the stories we tell each other (and believe) are mean and horrible and just plain incorrect.
Here we see if we can catch ourselves mid way through a story so we can note the tone and the content to perhaps teach us something about ourselves off the mat.
Let's see what stories you're telling yourself and try to choose new o...2022-03-0409 minLiz Teaches MeditationSafe right nowWe're mostly always safe, but our brain tells us otherwise.
Try this meditation when you need a reminder of how okay you are. Right now. In this moment. You are mostly okay. And safe.

Today we intentionally worry and then investigate how we are actually feeling - wether it's fear or anger or overwhelm.
When you're feeling like there's chaos In the air, try and pour attention into your breath or body.
Thanks for practicing and take a second to think of one small thing you can do today to bring peace and stillness into your life so you can take right action out there in the world.2022-02-2808 minLiz Teaches MeditationDownshiftingWe spend a lot of time up in our heads. In order to self regulate we've got to move our energy down.
Try this practice when you're feeling anxious and need to ground in the body.
Love you all! Thanks for practicing.. 2022-02-2604 minLiz Teaches MeditationJust breatheThere's a difference between trying to breath and allowing the breath to breathe in and out.
