This week, Steve Hickman guides us in a meditation to cultivate gratitude for the small things that often go unnoticed in our daily lives. Itâs easy to get caught up in longing for what we donât have, which can lead to a cycle of dissatisfaction and striving. In this practice, weâre invited to pause, let go of striving, and open our hearts to the joy and wisdom already present in the seemingly simple moments around us.

This guided meditation from Dr. Mark Bertin reminds us that we donât have to pretend everything is fine or be calm all the time. Instead, being mindful in difficult times can look like carving out a moment to settle before we decide what comes next. This is a walking meditation that supports us in cultivating a balanced perspective. While we accept what we canât change right now, we can also choose our next steps from a place of compassion and wisdom.

Through six stages, she invites us to bring awareness to these feelings, accepting ourselves without judgment and affirming our worth. With each stage, we cultivate a sense of warmth and resilience, creating space to move beyond self-doubt and reconnect with our inner strength. This practice offers us a chance to release the hold of self-criticism, embracing a more gentle, patient approach toward ourselves.

This week, Frank Ostaseski guides us through a meditation that invites us to let curiosity lead. Life doesnât always bring what we desireâinstead, it can deliver pain, uncertainty, and even sorrow. While we canât always change these circumstances or the emotions that arise with them, we can choose to meet them with an open curiosity. When we do, we create space to welcome, or at least acknowledge, whatever comes our way. This openness helps us release the added suffering that often follows tough moments, reminding us that while lifeâs challenges are inevitable, the suffering we add to them is optional.

This week, Anu Gupta guides us in simple phrases of compassion and loving-kindness that allow us to remember: Just like me, this person is also human. Just like me, they have their own joys, desires, and struggles. Offering kind wishes to someone difficult is a powerful way to expand our circle of compassion. We donât have to like them, but we can cultivate compassion for them, softening our resistance and acknowledging their humanity.

This week, Will Schneider instructs us in paying attention to the gentle, natural flow of our breath. By becoming more aware of our inhales and exhales, we gradually bring calm to our mind and our nervous system. Weâre giving ourselves permission to slow down for a few minutes. As we breathe, we can also witness the active chatter of our mind without being swept awayâin thoughts about the past, or worries about the future. Mindfulness practice reveals how our thoughts and emotions are constantly changing, and this simple, relaxing meditation gives us a chance to release expectations and judgments. A state of mindful awareness is strengthened each time we notice the mind wandering, and choose to come back to the sensations of the breath moving in and out of our body.
Is your mind more like a circus than a sanctuary? If youâre hoping to let go of stress and anxiety, and feel more present and focused throughout your day, check out the upcoming online Meditation Course with Men Talking Mindfulness. This 9-week, fully online course offers weekly sessions in a group atmosphere where two experienced mindfulness experts will lead practices together, answer your questions, and help you build a consistent mindfulness practice. Beginning October 6th, this course welcomes adults of all genders. Visit mentalkingmindfulness.com to learn more and sign up.

This week, Sue Hutton guides us in a breathing practice to foster awareness of our senses, honoring our neurodiversity while we strengthen our mindfulness practice.
We live in a neurodiverse world. We are all wired with unique minds and bodies, and each of us has a unique sensory constitution. For instance, someone who experiences sensory overwhelm when they pay attention to direct sensations inside the body may find a body scan practice overwhelming instead of centering. Similarly, someone who is blind isn't going to use vision as a meditation tool.It can be useful to explore the breath by engaging with different senses involved in breathing. Breath practice can be an interesting undertaking for many neurodivergent meditators. Some of us find the feelings of the breath rising and falling inside the body a bit nerve-wracking. Some of us feel anxiety increasing as we concentrate on the movement of the lungs, and thoughts of breath keeping us alive become more concerning. Not the calming experience we are looking for in mindfulness practice!
In this practice, weâll talk about a variety of ways those of us who are neurodivergent can practice mindful breathing, and foster calm for ourselves.

This week, Susan Kaiser-Greenland guides us through a meditation practice focused on one of the oldest and simplest techniques: âSit and Know Youâre Sitting.â
In our busy lives, we often rush through moments without truly being present. This practice invites you to slow down and become aware of the simple act of sitting. By tuning into the sensations in your body and the rhythm of your breath, you can cultivate a deep sense of awareness. Itâs not about doing anything specialâjust noticing whatâs already here.

This week, Shamash Alidina guides us through a practice focused on the calming power of belly breathing. In our fast-paced world, stress can easily take hold, and this meditation offers a simple yet powerful way to find relaxation and ease.
Belly breathing, or deep diaphragmatic breathing, encourages a full breath that engages the diaphragm and helps activate the bodyâs relaxation response. By consciously slowing your breath and focusing on the expansion and contraction of your belly, you can send signals to your nervous system that itâs safe to relax, lowering stress levels and promoting a sense of calm.

This week, Christopher Willard and Olivia Weisser bring us a mediation inspired by the Japanese concept of ma, which refers to âthe spaces between everything.â This practice invites us to take the opportunity to explore the empty spaces that exist all around us and inside us.
For instance, we might think of the space between the plants in the garden, or between the notes in a song. It can also be emotional space, like the silences in a conversation. Or the little gaps between our thoughts and emotions.
Often, we donât even notice these empty spacesâbut bringing our awareness to them can reveal new meaning and beauty. By exploring the space in-between through this mindfulness practice, we also enhance our creativity, noticing skills, and awareness.
Weâre also thrilled to announce our upcoming Community Connection Meditation Series, taking place from August 26th-30th, 2024! This live virtual event is designed to bring us together in the spirit of mindfulness, connection, and growth.

This week, Men Talking Mindfulness co-host Will Schneider begins by guiding listeners to connect with our breath. Gradually, we release distractions and rest attention on breathing in and out, so we can bring our minds fully into the present moment. With this preparation, we shift our attention and notice what we can hear, see, and other sensory information coming to us, awakening our natural curiosity.
By tuning in to our body and mind, where we observe the nature of the ever-changing world, we can develop greater awareness of the shifts occurring around us and within us. Change can be difficult or painful, and often we yearn for things to be otherwise. Yet this meditation helps us open to the idea that life can be easier when we flow with the currents of change. By choosing to simply be a witness to whatever is happening in this moment, weâre able to be there for ourselves without judgment. Weâre learning to meet life exactly the way it is.Stay curious, stay inspired.

This week, Georgina Miranda guides us through a meditation to awaken the flow of gratitude in nature. Regardless of where you areâwhether in a local city park, perched on a mountain top, or swimming in the seaâthere is always a moment to pause and feel grateful for our inherent connection to nature.
This meditation encourages you to breathe deeply, paying attention to the air, the smells, and the sensations around you. Feel the sun, wind, snow, or rain on your skin, and listen to the sounds of nature. Each breath becomes a bridge, connecting you more deeply with the world around you and fostering a sense of unity.
