Hiya Gorgeous!
Whenever I feel a little off or anxious, it’s usually a sign that I’ve neglected my inner life. Instead of searching for the next book, blog or trend, I know I just need to sit my tush on the cush and go inside.
The world will always make us feel like the answers are out there. But you and I both know that the opposite is true.
Your ability to realign yourself by turning inward is your superpower, and helping you do that more is the goal of today’s video.
Meditation has been a grounding force in my life for over a decade.
It calms my mind, soothes my nervous system and reduces stress. Meditation will do that for you and more, it will also empower you to follow your dreams, achieve your goals and feel your very best—no matter what life throws at you this glorious year!
Click play and let’s walk you through some easy practices to demystify meditation so that it’s both doable and enjoyable. No need to over think it, be intimidated by it or blow it off, yet again. Meditation is medicine, my friends. So let’s start feeling better, asap!
In this video, you’ll learn:
- What meditation is really about (it may not be what you think!)
- Proper posture and position
- 4 simple techniques to ground and guide you
- And why a regular practice will transform you
Your turn: In the next 24 hours, I want you to take 10 minutes and give one of these practices a try. Let me know you’re up for the challenge by dropping a comment below and saying, “I’m in!”
I love you and I want the best for you this year—body, mind and spirit. Let the meditation begin. xo!
Peace and deep breaths,
I’m in
Try adding 1 minute breathing meditations to daily activities as a regular practice – after brushing teeth, going to bathroom, after breakfast, before starting car engine, before opening first emails at work, and so on, including every time we go to the bathroom! It all adds up, reinforces and creates a habit……
Such great ideas, David! Xo (Jennifer from Team Crazy Sexy)
I am in! Can’t wait to start the guided mediation.

Hey, First of all I like to thank you for such an amazing video. I want to include meditation in my daily activity but as I am new bee in this field have not much knowledge about how to start meditation and which posture is helpful. This video helps me a lot and I will definitely follow these tips on my routine practice.
Thank you for this. Since my wife left me and the kid’s. I’ve been struggling. Meditation is starting to help with my anxiety. Your a blessing.
I’m in! You have such a beautiful soothing voice Kris ?
I’m in! Kris, your video is spot on. I took an 8-week TM class and loved so much I took again. The instructor’s mentor was His Holiness Dalai Lama who he met and studied with in the 80’s. I am blessed to have crossed paths and am trying to put into practice what I’ve learned. I use three meditation types: seated, analytical and mantra. My favorite mantra Om Mani Palme Hum is by Imee Ooi. It’s 10 minutes, the perfect length for beginners. You are so right about being gentle and forgiving when your mind wanders to lovingly tell yourself it’s okay and just begin again. You are such an inspiration to your many followers. Getting your emails is like hearing from a good friend. Always positive, cheerful and loving.
To your good health!

I’m in…I just love you spending time listening to you. You are my inspiration Kris. God bless you!!
I’m IN! Thanks for this. Really love the tips….I’ve got monkey brain! 🙂
I’m in! I’ve been wanting to develop a meditation practice for a long time now, but struggle with consistency. I’m hoping your tools will help me to achieve the consistency I’m craving! Thank you Kris.
I took a transcendental meditation course four years ago and have practiced about a dozen times. I’m now faced with melanoma – let this be my year of healing and get practising that meditation. Thanks for the inspiration and happy new year

I’m in. Meditation has always been a challenge for me. My mind wanders a lot and a simple 10 minute meditation usually turns into 20-30 minutes as I try to stay focused. I have had head and neck cancer on/off for 2 1/2 years. I constantly struggle with negative thoughts and regrets. Why did I do that, why did I say that, how do I say I’m sorry, and so on. Some of these events happened many years ago. I know I cannot change the past and need to focus on the future.
I enjoyed your summit and hope to find inner peace one day.
Reduce 10 minutes to shorter periods of say 1 or 2 mins. and build from there as it starts to work and as you gain confidence…..use this process to learn to notice all thoughts (positive or negative) more and more early, use the mind words ‘noting (the thought), accepting (its there) and letting go (of the thought) by actively coming back to the breath rising/falling – to begin with this you may have to repeat three times………..just see all thoughts like bubbles that arise, float and go pop….they have no real substance and are impermanent – just a habit we have learnt – so, no big deal!
Excellent lesson!
I’m in 🙂
I’m in…never seriously tried this. I’ve done yoga here and there…again, not seriously enough.
And, with a recurrence of cancer just diagnosed this week…I am trying not to give in to fear, anxiety, and hopelessness.
Hi Kris, I am in hospital at moment recovering from operation for breast cancer, along with anxiety and depression this was the icing on the cake. BUT having been recommended and directed to your website has been a godsend inspiration, and this counting meditation is helping me as I lay here.
Thank you xxx

I’m in! Thanks for the tips!
