See the video version of this meditation on my youtube channel. https://youtu.be/poaS0VW0CuIYou can also find my interpretation of the Dao De Jing, called The Mellow Way, as an ebook at https://saintdudeproductions.gumroad.com/We're here at Mount Ojibwe. On Isle Royale—Minong, I believe the Ojibwe people called it, meaning the good place. In the middle of Lake Superior.Thank you for joining me for our second video episode of the Peace Project Meditations.Meditation is a skill we can all practice to cultivate peace, reduce stress, relieve anxiety, or simply explore what it means to be alive and aware. Meditations are best practiced in a space where you can feel free to lose your normal awareness of your surroundings for 10 to 15 minutes. You can still gain by practicing even if that's not possible where you are.So often I'm ablaze with frustrations or anger because things didn't go my way. Something you'll notice in meditation is that much like fire, if you just stop feeding emotions they'll go out.
https://themellow.substack.com/We can be driven by this inner monologue to make the most out of every moment. In this space of meditation, allow yourself to experience each moment for what it is, not what you can bring to it. I have an interpretation of the Dao De Jing called The Mellow Way. If you're interested, you can find it at https://saintdudeproductions.gumroad.com/Thank you for joining me for my first video session of the Peace Project Meditations. I am out here on the shore of a lake in the Upper Peninsula.As always, meditation is a time and space where we can focus on the simple experience of what it means to be alive. We can process in a state of openness and awareness. It helps relieve anxiety and stress.Take a deep breath and let the stress of every day just kind of melt away. Any thoughts or emotions, any tasks to do, just let them all go. Let the stress of the day melt away. For the next 10 to 15 minutes, we're going to go ahead and meditate. We're going to be in this present moment, together. I'll keep an eye on the clock, so don't worry. You can just allow your awareness to change, to expand.Take a few deep breaths. Now is the time to meditate.#meditation #daoism #nature #now #experience #meditate #meditatewithnature #naturesounds #naturebeauty #meditations #guidedmeditation
Often, we picture ourselves as our bodies, our past actions, or our relationships. We define ourselves by our achievements or our hobbies. But I have found that "myself" is not these things.

In this quick 10 minute meditation, learn to recognize how brief and fleeting thoughts and emotions can be and apply it to your stresses, worries, or anxieties. Many times it can be as simple as allowing yourself to recognize that you can let go and release these negative emotions from your awareness.

New exclusive meditation podcast and blog out now at https://themellow.substack.com/
So much of our reality is shaped by our interactions and spatial understanding of the world around us. Even as you read this, your brain is aware and making judgments about the distance between the letters and words, the space between your eyes and the screen, and the periphery of your vision. In this meditation we seek to forget that judgement and calculation and embrace the instant space of awareness and consciousness.

What makes a day a "bad day"? Often we are consumed with stress or worries when days do not go our way. In this meditation, we focus on letting of our expectations and negative emotions, and welcoming the everchanging and impartial nature of existence.

We often are confronted with overwhelming negative emotions throughout life. In the space of meditation, we can explore these emotions and learn to allow them to pass by or sit with us. Are these emotions there for any reason, or do they simply arise?

The breath is often the anchor of meditation processes. It keeps us alive from birth until death, yet often we do not give it much attention. In this meditation, we focus on the breath and what it can reveal to us in meditation.

The Tao Te Ching is a collection of writings from Lao Tzu. It describes a nameless way of existence that leads to peace. In this meditation, I read some of my favorite verses from the Tao to give an introduction to my interpretation of it.

Often we are caught up in our own state in life or consumed by dreams and desires. In the space of meditation it is possible to let go of these and feel true serenity and acceptance of the most basic level of your existence.

We look and feel the sensations of our body to go about our normal life. In the space of meditation we can begin to feel the true size of our bodily sensations and how we can expand our feelings to the size of our awareness

When you are meditating, do you ever wonder where your awareness comes from? In this meditation, we explore how to become aware of your awareness. Reflecting on who is aware and where that awareness comes from can help you discover the depths of sensation and conscious expansion that is possible in each moment. Join me in discovering our awareness.
