Being aware of your breath and noticing how it flows throughout your body allows your nervous system to take a break and calm down from the everyday stressors of life.  Take a few moments to focus on your in breath and your out breath.  Noticing your breath and how it completely relaxes your body and calms your mind.  It is physiologically impossible to be anxious or stressed when you are breathing deeply and focused on your breath, so give yourself this gift whenever you are stressed.  The more you can stop and tune into your breathing, the more you will make this a habit which will help you whenever you find yourself stressed, nervous, or anxious in anyway.   Music:  Yoga Song (Mixkit)

Imagine yourself in a peaceful and calm space for deep relaxation.

The Bee Breath (also known as Brahmari in yoga) is a breathing technique that resonates throughout your body as we create a humming sound on exhalation. This encourages long, slow breathing from the diaphragm and creates vibration throughout the body. This relaxes the nervous system, calms the adrenals and gives us an overall sense of well-being. #breathing #beebreath #meditation #vibration #calming #relaxation *music by musicofwisdom.com 

Take your body and mind on a journey to deep transformation with this 18 minute yoga Nidra meditation. We travel through our bodies to the ocean and back receiving special messages along the way. This deep meditation will calm your body and mind and take you from burnout to bliss.

We are so much more than our physical body. We are made up of different sheaths, or koshas, that surround and expand “around” our physical body. Tune into these sheaths to experience your expansiveness and come to know yourself as who/what you truly are - pure love. *Music by musicofwisdom.com

This meditation will open your heart center and deeply relax your whole body. When we open our heart center, we bring our love and light into the universe and receive pure love and light from the universe. This energy uplifts us. Use this as a mini break in your busy day or as a primer for deep, relaxing sleep. Note: this meditation is almost 8 minutes in length.

When we let go and allow ourselves to just “be” we may think we are accomplishing nothing but yet the opposite is true. Imagine if we could do nothing and arrive exactly where we want to be. How would this truth change what you did each day or how you lived your life? In this meditation, let your thinking mind go and drop yourself into an awake and aware state of non-doing.

Knowing who we truly are - infinite, expansive beings - and living fully in the only time that exists - this now moment - is key to calming our thoughts, our worries, moving beyond our regrets, anxieties, disappointments and so on. This meditation gets you tuned into your true nature.

Breathing in fully and deeply relaxes us, calms us and gives us the life energy we need to survive.  We take in, on average, between 18,000 and 20,000 breaths each day and over 5,000 gallons of air!!  Our lungs have the capacity to hold up to 2 pints of air and yet most people breathe in 1 pint or less.  When we breathe in, our body immediately distributes this oxygen to every cell in our body.  Breathing in through our left nostril is considered a lunar, or moon breath, which slows down our metabolism, calms down our nervous system and helps us relax.  This meditation is best done when you want to fall asleep or when you are feeling restless and can't quite drift off to sleep.  As with all of the 5-Minute Meditations, we start with deep breathing in and out through the nose, but with this one, we will also introduce the first part of the calming moon breath to help us relax and get our bodies ready for deep sleep.   For more, please visit me at www.jeanninemcglade.com and check out how I can help you on your meditation, yoga, and self-care journey! 🙏🏽

Our emotional energy center (our lower belly/abdomen) is where our potential lies for manifesting our desires, bringing pleasure into our lives and attracting abundance. Use this meditation to open up and balance this chakra, the sacral, 2nd chakra, the water element, and bring universal abundance into your life.

Resistance in life is an energy block often caused by past traumas or disappointments that keep us stuck in the present and not able to move forward. Release these blocked energies and therefore the resistance through this meditation as you align with who you really are - infinite consciousness.

A message of thanks to you, my listeners!! In this podcast I announce a few things I thought you would want to hear about. And most importantly, a thank you for listening to my 5-Minute Meditations podcast.

Deep belly breathing helps us through moments of anxiety and fear. Often, when we are stressed, we breathe shallow breaths and our bodies stay in fight or flight mode. Our body tenses up ready to fight or run away from the stressor. But, when we are breathing in deep breaths from the abdomen it’s physiologically impossible to feel anxious. So, breathe deep and calm your body and your mind.

Being kind to ourselves is the essence of self-compassion. Often we need to remind ourselves to support ourselves and show love and kindness to ourselves as we would to others. Especially during times of stress or disappointment when things just don’t work out as you planned or hoped. Give yourself a gift of compassion.

Send energy to your first chakra, your root chakra to help you feel safe, feel grounded and secure. Tune into this meditation anytime you feel “out” of your body, sluggish, or are worried about your security.
