#7 - Emotional Ease.  This meditation will help the emotions flow more freely. You can listen to it to it when you feel rough or upset or simply to experience greater ease in life. By allowing the emotions to be fully felt, without resistance and without mental involvement, they are able to resolve and move through, rather than becoming "stuck".  (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)

#8 - Going Deep Within.  Given the opportunity, it's natural for the mind to settle down.  This meditation will help you to become aware of this natural tendency and allow it to take you "deep within".  It's a somewhat advanced meditation in that the awareness has to be settled enough to notice that natural inward movement.  Using some of the other guided meditations can help prepare you for this one.

#9 - Relaxing into Healing.  This meditation is to help you take advantage of the natural process of healing that is going on within you all the time.  (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)

#10 - Breath in the Heart.  A variation on the basic Breath Awareness Meditation, the Breath in the Heart Meditation helps open the heart. It can have a very soothing effect and awaken the energy of love.  The focus on the heart can also bring about some emotional release and have a healing effect. This meditation may be useful for those who are grieving.  (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)

#11 - Grounding Meditation.  This body-centered meditation is especially helpful when you feel scattered or discombobulated.  It is calming, brings your awareness into your body and anchors your energy into the earth.   (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)

#12 - Letting Go.  This meditation is designed to help you flow more easily with life. It involves letting go of resistance to what is naturally happening, as well as letting go of the attempt to manipulate what is happening. Letting go creates more ease in living.  (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)

#15 - Chakra Meditation.  Our attention is like a beam of energy.  When we direct our awareness to any area of the body, it is enlivened by that energy.  This very simple chakra meditation uses this principle to enhance and balance the flow of energy in the body.  (To learn about the chakras, click here.  (Read Mary's blog post on this meditation.)
