Water Reflecting Meditation

What you spend your time doing affects you, for better and for worse. How you spend your time matters.

This meditation supports exploration of this idea in your own life.

Notice how your human system (your mind, body, and emotions) responds to the metaphor of water reflecting.

Authentic Selfies Meditation

I designed this meditation to help people explore how they feel when they are being their most authentic self.

I play off the idea of taking “selfies” but instead we take “authentic selfies”.

Remember to just allow experiences to show up during the meditation. Don’t preplan. Don’t try to control what shows up.

Just observe.

Therapy Dog Meditation

I designed this meditation to help university students ease their stress during final exam week.

You want to be seated comfortably in a chair with room to move your arms up from the front. I will guide you through movement, breathing, and visualization steps.

If any instruction does not feel comfortable, don’t do it.

Childhood Play Meditation

Game designers and game design students work with the idea of play all the time—from the perspective of their adult self.

As a professor I had my graduate students do the Childhood Play Meditation to remind them, on a deep emotional level, of the feeling of play.

Revisiting childhood play through meditation helps your human system remember how it felt to be young and to play.
