This program gets to the heart of the matter and gets you past the blocks you’ve experienced in the past.

Mindfulness-Based Meaning Program

This program is a research-based, comprehensive program that brings two important aspects of well-being together: meaning in life and mindfulness. Why are we here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? The science of meaning seeks to answer such questions. Knowing your meaning and purpose, your “why”, can serve as a compass with which to navigate your life journey.

Books

The Mindful Guide to the Law of Attraction

The law of attraction suggests that our positive or negative thoughts bring about positive or negative experiences. The Mindful Guide to Law of Attraction pairs that belief with the powerful practice of mindfulness. Through intentional breathing, writing, and engaging, you’ll hone a method for manifesting health, wealth, and love―the elements of happiness.  I explain the concepts behind mindfulness and the law of attraction, removing any sense of “woo woo,” and presenting it all in a practical framework that can be used by anyone to improve their life.

The Joy of Now Journal: Mindfulness In Five Minutes a Day

A beautiful, full-color guided journal that readers can use to help them appreciate the beauty of the present moment and “live in the now.” With insightful questions, inspiring quotations, and thoughtful meditations, this journal is a guide to mindfulness for anyone who spends too much time thinking about the past and/or worrying about the future.

meditation bench

Foldable Meditation Bench

If you have problems sitting on blankets or cushions while meditating or have tight hips that won’t allow this, a meditation bench may be your answer. After meditating for many years, I finally tried a bench from Emerging Green and I love it! After sitting for ~15 minutes on my meditation cushion or a blanket, my foot would painfully go to sleep, and I would have to end my practice. With the bench, I have no issues and can sit for much longer allowing me to reap many more benefits from my practice. This one is made of sustainable bamboo and comes with a handy tote bag making it easy to carry the bench anywhere. 

Bagby

Beautifully handcrafted digital wellness items to help you sleep deeper, wake up in a better mood and connect (in real life) with the people close to you.  For when it’s time to put your phone away.

Shanti Singing Bowls

Singing bowls produce beautiful music that invokes deep meditative and peaceful states. They are often used in yoga, reiki, music therapy, and sound healing. The rich harmonies produced by singing bowls help balance the body’s chakras, eliminate stress, and promote holistic healing.

Each bowl is carefully hand-crafted by skilled Tibetan artisans using traditional techniques. In accordance with an ancient Tibetan formula, these singing bowls are made of “panchaloga”, which is a Sanskrit word meaning a five-metal alloy that includes copper, zinc, iron, and traces of gold and silver. The company donates 15% of their profits to charities that work to provide meditation and mindfulness practices to at-risk communities.
