Surprise! We couldn’t resist adding one more episode to our October mindfulness journey. Today is Halloween, and Lele and Nieta invite you to explore a theme that fits the day perfectly: fear.
This special practice uses mindful visualization to gently observe and engage with fears whether it’s spiders, public speaking, or something else. You’ll learn how to notice your emotional and physical reactions, and how repeated, intentional exposure through mindfulness can help you build resilience and reduce fear over time.
Remember: fear is a natural part of being human. This practice isn’t about pushing fear away it’s about meeting it with awareness, compassion, and curiosity.
