Write a thank you note to them. Thank them for their work and what they contribute to your life. If it’s appropriate and feasible, you can find a way to deliver the note to them.

Memento Mori

Memento Mori
Student - 20:09 min

Memento Mori is the age-old practice of remembering the shortness of your life, the inevitability of your death, and its unknowable timing.

This will not be a file for everyone. Death can be an intense topic for some people. It can bring up feelings of fear, or grief. It can also bring up feelings of appreciation, gratitude, and compassion.

Remembering death can be an act of courage; it ...

Assignment - Head Massage

Close your eyes. Take off your hat or glasses, if you are wearing any. Gently rub your hands around your face. You can focus on your temples, your forehead. Using a small amount of pressure, running your fingers down from your temples, down, relaxing your jaw.

Now taking your fingers, and massaging your scalp. Running your fingers in small circles, all over your head. Just taking a moment, to relax, and enjoy the sensations. Taking a moment to take care of your body, and relax.

Assignment - Moment of Warmth

Close your eyes, if it is comfortable for you to do so. Take a few deep breaths. Imagine you are holding a small kitten or puppy, in your lap. They are soft and warm. Look down at them. Pet them, if you’d like. What do you feel toward them? Do you feel warmth? Affection? Caring? What is that experience like? Is it pleasant? Calming? It is okay if it isn’t. It is okay if you don’t feel anything at all, or have an unpleasant feeling.

If it is pleasant, reflect on how simple this is....

Rewriting Your Stories

Rewriting Your Stories
Free - 24:19 min

Throughout our days, as we go through our lives, we have all sorts of voices in our heads. Thoughts, narratives, stories.

Many of these stories play over and over. They are themes, they are stories that have played themselves out for us over and over. When new situations arise, we interpret them through the lens of our familiar stories.

Sometimes these are stories that don’t always help us. Our stories can be like...

Healthy Balance with Hypnosis

Healthy Balance with Hypnosis
Free - 22:33 min

Hypnosis can be particularly regulating. Hypnosis is a form of co-regulation. You are here, listening to my voice. Your mind and your body listens to the tone of my voice, which is caring, soothing. Your nervous system syncs up with mine, and feels calm, and soothed.

This can be a good and healthy experience.

This can be a way to teach your nervous system, what it feels like, to be calm, regulated, soothed. View Post

Assignment - Habitual Screen Use

Pick an action on a screen that you do habitually every day. Something that you do without thinking about it. An automatic habit.

This could be scrolling on your phone in the bathroom. It could be checking the news every morning.

Choose something that you could choose to stop doing, something you’d like to experiment with stopping doing.

Then, choose to stop doing that thing for the next week.

It’s okay if you forget and catch yourself doing this action, unthinking...

Facing Discomfort

Facing Discomfort
Free - 20:21 min

For many of us, we aren’t taught how to face discomfort as kids. Often, the adults around us didn’t know how to face discomfort themselves. Many of us live in a society that teaches people to tune out. To not face our discomfort. To reach instead for junk food, or a phone app, television, surfing the internet. To find things that distract us from discomfort. From hard experiences. From hard thoughts and feelings.

So often...

Assignment - A Gift

There is so much joy in giving. The process of doing something nice for someone else makes us feel good too. It is a practice that ties us to one another, reminding us of the joy the people around us can bring to our lives, and the joy we can share with them.

Find or make a gift for a friend, loved one, maybe even for a pet.

This gift could be a physical object, or a gift of time, a gift of a skill, chore, or experience.

Assignment - Do What You Can

Sometimes we can feel powerless in the face of all of the horrors the people with wealth and power choose to inflict on all of us. But there are a lot of us, and most of us want to take care of one another, and build a world without this horror and violence. Often we can only do a little, but we can do that little with one another. Everyone can do something, whether that is attending a vigil, speaking out for an end to violence, or donating what you are able to give to help the people who are...

Communication is the interface between you and other people. It is one of the primary means through which you form connections, meet your needs, help others meet their needs, and express yourself. It is the powerful interface between you, and all of the human minds around you.

Being mindful of how you communicate, communicating thoughtfully and deliberately, will help you better achieve all of these aims. By focusing on being un...

Assignment - Dietary Variety

Cook or prepare an entirely new food item. Something you haven’t eaten before. It is up to you how adventurous or elaborate you want to be. This could mean an entirely new cuisine, perhaps using a vegetable or grain you rarely eat, or perhaps a new recipe for a favourite dish. It’s okay if you don’t enjoy the new dish! What did you get out of the experience?

Assignment - Short Poem

You can pick any topic that you want. If you’re feeling intimidated by the idea of a poem, you can choose to write about something very small and simple in your life, like your favourite coffee mug, or making the bed, or what you think about hats.

Many people find poetry, or any expressive arts, very intimidating. It actually doesn’t matter very much what you make, or what other people think of it, or what you think of it. Creating something and seeing what comes out of you is a ver...

Sleep Aide (Student) and Primed for Rest (Extra Credit)

Sleep Aide

My voice assists you, and you give yourself permission to go deeper. Every time you listen to trance files before sleep, you sleep more soundly. The path into deep relaxation is visualized, and this 'path' into sleep metaphor also features in other sleep files, making this an excellent attachment to them.

Assignment - A Failure

Try something that you are certain you will fail at. It could be something you are afraid to do, or maybe a task that is beyond your physical or mental limits. Maybe it is a task that physics makes impossible, or logic. You can define fail however you would like. When you finish, ask yourself, did you fail? What does it mean to fail? Can you fail at this task?
