In this episode, we practice Metta, or loving-kindness, a wonderful way of coming back to the space within the heart.This practice is very close to my heart and was first shared with me by my teacher, Michelle Papa, during my yoga teacher training in Singapore. It’s a simple but powerful reminder that when we soften, we naturally reconnect to care, presence, and kindness, for ourselves and for others.Together we’ll move through a guided meditation for self, loved ones and those who feel more challenging, slowly expanding that sense of warmth out into the world.A valuable pause in the middle of a busy life, an invitation to come home to yourself and remember the space inside the heart.So let's begin, take a deep breath, and Listen In.

This meditation is less than 4 minutes and uses gentle 20 Hz vibrations to help you feel grounded and present. You might even notice it as a soft pulse in your chest more than a sound, how cool is that!? Just a few minutes can clear your mind and leave you feeling a little lighter.Quick note: Hz (hertz) just means how fast something is vibrating. 20 Hz is slow and gentle, like a soft heartbeat you can feel in your body. It sits in the Beta brainwave range, which is linked to focus and alertness. Because it’s so low, you might feel a subtle grounding pulse in your chest or body while you listen.In short: 20 Hz = deep, grounding, felt more than heard, and perfect for staying present and alert.So let's begin.
