guided meditations
✨ discovering your intrinsic self by Sarah Blondin on Insight Timer. 12 minutes
“This is a profound practice for learning to understand the importance of going within and developing a relationship with our intrinsic Self. Let your guard down and accept yourself exactly the way you are.”
✨ hearing the body by David Young on Insight Timer. 7 minutes
“Often, we are disconnected from our bodies and the wisdom it holds. This is an invitation to lovingly ask ourselves, "If my body could tell its story, what would it say to me?" It's a practice to reconnect us to the voice of our bodies.”
✨ encouraging self love by David Hayden on Insight Timer. 10 minutes
“In this practice, we will use a modified Metta to connect with our resistance to being able to receive love and compassion. The use of this practice has been found to increase self-acceptance, care and ability to work with difficult emotional experiences.”
podcast episodes

other resources
✨ Pleasure As A Holy Rebellion newsletter by Ruthie Lindsey
I’ve saved this newsletter to my Second Brain in Notion with a reminder every couple months to read it again. This is a powerful message I need reminded of often.
✨ Shaman drum circle by the fire: hypnotic theta healing music by Ellen Mouton on Insight Timer. 11 minutes
“Today, I propose a hypnotic healing session " Shaman drum circle by the fire " which will bring you to a theta brain wave mode. This mode is useful to reach when you want to deeply relax, or to get in a dream like transe state for rest purpose or for inner work. Please close your eyes and let yourself go to the rythm of the drum. Wear headphones for better results. Have a good session. Namaste”
Here’s to feeling more well-resourced, nourished, and supported heading into the new month.
