DIY Mental Health

Mindfulness meditation has been a positive and calming experience for me. Sometimes with a discernible difference in thinking, after finishing.

I prefer using headphones.

Generally coming back to two meditations from the list:

If needing some grounding, a body scan can help.

Fifteen minute body scan - Vidyamala Burch, Breathworks

If stable and grounded, the Mountain meditation is a nice exploration of impermanence.

Mountain meditation - Padraig O'Morain

i've heard some people talk about how mindfulness can be a very stressful or triggering thing to get into, so usually i start by teaching folks distress tolerance / breathing skills. not meant as a critique, but figured i'd just add it here as additional information
