meditation for heartbreak: gentle guided deep breathing exercise to heal the heart Dora Kamau 2023-07-30 | breathwork has the ability to bring about transformational change in our minds and bodies. intentional breathing allows us to connect, witness and experience all our different emotions. with mindful breathing, as we shift our focus to the breath, this moment of choice can help to re-instill a sense of hope because in that moment, we're reminded of the control we have control over where our minds go.breathwork can help us to go a little bit deeper, to uncover the story of our bodies, and connect to a deeper wisdom, that we all have access to…underneath the stories of the mind, the narratives we’ve been telling ourselves, there’s more waiting to be found..so as you arrive to this practice, wanting to tend to your heart, wanting to ease heartache or heartbreak, may this choice to be here, be a reminder of your innate power to heal yourself. this meditation was written, produced and edited by me. learn more about me: www.dorakamau.cafind me on instagram: @dorakamau listen to my meditation for heartbreak: youtu.be/gT6tbsjEgMYcheck out my healing after a breakup course on the headspace app, use code 'DORA30' at www.headspace.com/code to receive a free 30-day trial.

MBSR Guided Meditation: Awareness of Breath & Body Dora Kamau 2024-10-27 | Experience deep relaxation and reconnect with your breath and body in this 10-minute guided meditation. Mindfulness meditation can support us in learning how to work with stress by developing a relationship to our bodies. The awareness of breath and body meditation invites us to steady our attention and and cultivate a non-judgmental attitude of the present moment. If we can meet the present moment with curiosity and compassion, we're able to meet all other moments with less reactivity and more responsivity. By witnessing the coming and going of the breath and physical sensations in the body, we start to realize the impermanent nature of all things. MBSR is an 8-week psychoeducational program that teaches meditation and mindfulness as a health intervention. Founded by author, scientist and practitioner, Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR encourages and invites individuals to explore and develop a different relationship to stress. ----------------------------------As a mindfulness artist, Dora creates and holds space for individuals to explore different expressions of presence.
