This is a meditation that allows you to revisit a memory that you'd like to explore. *It is not meant to be used to try to remember a repressed memory.*
This meditation is a beautiful way for you to come face to face with a memory that might be causing you pain, discomfort, or is preventing you from doing something in your present life right now. ✨
Explore your own special memory cave and memory stream, and come back refreshed, renewed, and revitalized.

This is a longer and more developed "create your safe space" meditation! (I still have the original, shorter version on this podcast with my earlier meditations) ✨
Allow your imagination to create a place just for you within your mind, where you can explore, create, recuperate, or just relax, etc... This meditation specifically helps you build this place (where you can visit whenever you want without having to listen to the meditation), and leads you through an exploration of it. 🚪

This meditation brings you to a charming, secret garden where you become acquainted with four herbs (Motherwort, Rose, Hawthorn, and Holly) which all have a special affinity for the physical and energetic heart. ❤️
This meditation is especially for individuals who are currently struggling with loss and hurt, are in a grieving period, and/or feel closed off either to other people or their own emotions.

🔥🌊💨🪨 In this meditation you get to explore one of the four elements! Fire, water, air, and earth.
You will be transported to a grand museum that has four paintings that depict a land consumed by one of these elements. You will then be able to jump into one of these paintings in order to allow your imagination to take the reins and explore further.
Have fun and remember to take back whatever wisdom you glean from each magical place!

Publisher and Composer- Cory Larence
A relaxing autumn walk through lovely landscape. 🍂
For anyone craving a cozy, fall vibe. This is geared towards facilitating with sleep, but can be played for a relaxing meditation as well to wind down.
I'm going to be focusing some of my meditations on seasonal content for a while. It is healing for the soul to come back in step with the ebs and flows of nature's cycles. Fall is a time for winding down, hibernating, tending to our roots, and going inwards. Autumn is one of my favorite times of year, so this is a perfect place to start. ✨
Hope you all enjoy!

In this podcast episode I discuss the fairy tale "Catherine and Her Destiny" with Michelle Tocher (storyteller, author, and producer).

We welcome you to explore this story on your own as well by reading one of the retellings (link below) and working with it through "The Story Tour", which you can find on the WonderLit website link below. ✨

I had the wonderful chance to sit down with Hannah Custis (a fellow fairy tale/myth enthusiast) to discuss the fairy tale "The Frog King", which is the lesser known version of "The Princess and the Frog". 🐸

This is a unique guided imagery meditation that will bring you on an adventure through a majestic hedge maze! 🌳
At the end of this maze you will be reunited with a purpose and sense of meaning that is very important to you, but somewhere along the way you were made to believe that it didn't matter or was useless.
This meditation will allow you to reunite with this purpose and bring that meaning back with you into your waking life! ✨

We also discuss environmental toxins and how we avoid certain products, tips for regulating glucose, and views on life coaching/therapy, but this is not meant to be a universal rule for everyone! Please listen to this podcast understanding that we are simply discussing our personal experiences and history, and should not automatically be applied to all listeners.

This meditation brings you to a room in your imagination which symbolizes an aspect of your life you'd like to work with today. The conscious aspects of this part of you will be revealed, as well as one Shadow aspect (unconscious) that is heavily influencing your life. ✨
Through this guided imagery exercise, you will be able to integrate this Shadow part and transform the room that represents an aspect of your life.

Publisher: Cory Lawrence
Composer: Cory Lawrence
This meditation brings you to a magical forest that will ground you into it's safe space so you can express and hold these emotions of feeling lost, hopeless, sad, and defeated.
We often unconsciously push these feelings away because we don't feel safe with them. Yet when we suppress them, they tend to fester and gain even more energy. By allowing them to be expressed without taking over, and providing space and compassion for them, we give them permission to pass through. ✨
At the end of this meditation you will receive a message from your innermost Self. One of support, grace, and love. 💜

This meditation first walks you through a grounding breathwork routine to prepare you for working with possibly uncomfortable emotions.
**It might be helpful to do this meditation after working with a therapist or coach on a particular place in your life where you feel a lot of resentment and bitterness building up.**
This meditation will give you an opportunity to work through a buildup of resentment and bitterness in your life. You will dialogue and connect with this part of you in order to understand it and free the attachment you have to it. ✨
Give yourself plenty of time to journal, reflect, and process whatever comes up during this meditation! ❤️
