stillness & breathing

Meditation

A few minutes of quiet when everything feels loud.

Wherever you are right now Calm • Guided • No pressure

Meditation isn't about emptying your mind or achieving perfect zen. It's about noticing your thoughts, being gentle with yourself, and giving your nervous system a break.

stillness

Selfcare essentials

Guided loops, gentle breath, and a soft body scan to calm the loudest thoughts.

Why it helps

Meditation helps calm your nervous system and tells your body it's safe.
It gives your spiraling thoughts somewhere to land instead of looping endlessly.
Regular practice (even just a few minutes) can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

When to reach for it

When your mind is racing and you can't slow down.
Before bed when you can't switch off.
In the morning to start the day feeling calmer.
After a stressful conversation or difficult moment.
When you need to feel grounded in your body.

Quick practices to try

Choose whatever feels doable right now. Even one technique helps.

Basic Breathing Meditation

5 minutes to calm down

Sit or lie down somewhere comfortable
Close your eyes (or soften your gaze)
Breathe naturally and just notice your breath
Count 10 breaths (in and out = 1)
When your mind wanders, gently bring it back to counting
Start again from 1 each time you get distracted—that's totally normal

Getting distracted doesn't mean you're bad at meditation. Noticing you're distracted IS the meditation.

Body Scan

10 minutes for anxiety

Lie down on your back, arms by your sides
Close your eyes and take 3 deep breaths
Start at your toes—notice any sensation there
Slowly move your attention up: feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs
Continue through your whole body: hips, stomach, chest, arms, neck, face
If you notice tension anywhere, breathe into it and let it soften

This is amazing for getting out of your head and back into your body.

Loving-Kindness Meditation

For self-hatred days

Sit comfortably, place your hand on your heart
Say silently: "May I be safe"
Then: "May I be healthy"
Then: "May I be happy"
Then: "May I live with ease"
Repeat these 5-10 times, really meaning them
If you want, extend these wishes to someone you love too

This one feels awkward at first, but it genuinely helps with self-compassion.

Things that help

Use guided meditations (videos below) instead of trying to do it alone at first.
Your mind WILL wander. That's not failure—gently bringing it back is the practice.
Start with 5 minutes. You don't need to meditate for an hour.
Do it at the same time each day if possible (like after brushing teeth or before bed).
Lying down is fine. You don't need to sit cross-legged like a monk.
