We all have moments where depressing thoughts float into our minds. This guided mediation helps you recognize those thoughts, acknowledge them, then move past them. We'll use some breathing exercises and visualization to move the mind to a lighter, happier place.

This meditation utilizes a new tool I've been using called "angry breathing". It's basically heavy sighs when I'm feeling frustrated, angry, or defeated, and somehow it makes me feel better.

Music graciously provided by Midnight's with his latest track "Sweety". Follow him on Instagram @bryanpalafoxofficial to hear more of his work, or on Spotify as "Midnight's."

In this episode I interviewed a Oregon nurse, Megan Harry, who shared her experience working around COVID-19 patients, and how it's affecting her own workplace. She also shared some tips on keeping your immunity up, and stress levels low. This interview was on Wednesday, April 1st. Some things may have already changed such as the limit on visitors for ICU patients, and how severe their PPE shortage is. A few resources mentioned in this episode: CDC W.H.O W.H.O Instagram Page Samaritan Health guidelines for donating PPE including fabric masks Take a multi-vitamin or Zinc supplement to support your immunity Journal, try yoga, or find another indoor activity to help reduce your stress levels

This interview focuses on the front line view from a Physician Assistant, Kenny Lampert. He explains what he's seeing right now at both the hospital and urgent care facility that he works at in Albany, New York, and addresses the PPE shortage issue.

He also shared some resources for keeping yourself informed on the current COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

• CDC.gov
• WHO.int
• Local State Department of Health: www.oregon.gov or https://govstatus.egov.com/or-covid-19

He also discussed some things you can do now to keep you and your family safe, positive, and showing community support.

This is a guided meditation for releasing fear from the body and mind.

Music so graciously provided by Andrea Roye, "I Am Enough".

Not my typical style, but I felt compelled to share my experience shopping in Costco this week in Oregon amid the coronavirus outbreak. All I wanted on my “essential list” was TP and tampons that wouldn’t deliver in time online...

I truly believe meditation is the best tool to have in our toolbox right now to fight the fear and anxiety that is being created from this pandemic. As we mentioned in this episode, if you haven’t tried meditation yet and are curious, now is the absolute best time to give it a try. 

So many studios and leaders in this space are offering guided meditations for free, streamed online, including Lauren’s Instagram page where you can join her for meditation through her live videos. Her biggest tip during this pandemic is to remember the magical moments that are being created; hearing the birds chirp in the morning, an opportunity for BOTH parents to be home at the same time with their children, feeling each and every present moment with gratitude. 

Lauren is currently working on continuing to offer her Hike & Meditation workshops which normally happen the last Sunday of the month. If Boise doesn’t restrict people to their homes this coming week, the hike on 3/31 will still be happening, but she’ll be taking smaller groups of 6 throughout the day to make it easier to maintain social distancing.

You can follow Lauren on her Instagram page, @innerrebel.co, or on her website, which is also innnerrebel.co for upcoming hikes, meditations, and other valuable resources. She is also a teacher on Insight Timer, so be sure to try some of her meditations that are already available for you to try at home found here: https://insighttimer.com/innerrebelco

 I know this ended up being a heavier topic than we originally planned, but I hope we shared some resources that you found helpful. Stay well my friends, and remember, we’re all on this together.

Today's epiosode is about overcoming injuries with a positive mental attitude. I interviewed my boyfriend, JR Zwingraf, who is the expert at overcoming injuries, while maintaining a positive mental attitude. His biggest tip in this episode was to find ways to push through, because nobody is going to get you through this besides YOU. Try new hobbies that are within your limitations, read books, or play phone games. Anything to stay busy. Look for supplemental insurance programs such as Aflac or check out programs through your employer that you may not be aware of (HR is the best resource for this). If you have a family, build up a plan before your surgery and work out how you're going to get help from family and friends to cover daily tasks you know you won’t be able to do. You can follow JR on social media. You’ll find him on Twitter, @jerskiez, or follow him on Facebook for his inspirational and dirty memes, JR Zwingraf. Until next time, think of something positive that happened to you today.

In this episode, Tracy shares her experiences with plant medicine and how she dug deeper to show up more authentically in her life. She’s a yoga teacher as well as a Freedom Coach (love that!!) and is on a mission to help others discover a life focused around freedom and authenticity. You can join her for a retreat in July 2020 in Peru, or follow her journey on social media. Find her on Instagram @tracytreks, or Facebook under the same name.

Learn all about the law of attraction with Vonda Van Rooyen, who has been accidentally working with and practicing the law of attraction for 20 years! I stumbled into one of Vonda's "Dream Bigger" workshops in late 2017 when I was looking for something positive to happen in my life, but didn't know where to start. My favorite quote from this episode was, "What you think about, you bring about." This is the BEST definition of the Law of Attraction! Vonda shares in this episode how she utilized the law of attraction to make all her adult and childhood dreams come true. A few resources Vonda mentioned in this episode: Barbara Sher's free book Wishcraft Vonda's Fun Dream List The List Coach Website where you can connect with Vonda and learn more about 1-on-1 coaching sessions!
