6 - Remembering the Other in Conflict
This simple meditation is based around one of my most poignant memories in community organizing. Conflict can pick us up in a mighty river of emotion — remembering that we want to go to the same place, that we want a shared community, the other party can help reduce the unproductive parts of conflict.

5 - Pausing with Food
This meditation is intended for you to save for moments when you need to pause from thinking about food or eating. As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, I know how the pressure to make a food decision in the moment can be utterly overwhelming — this meditation intends to give you the time you need to make a decision 'that you would make for a friend in your situation'.

3 - Simple Death Meditation
Inspired by Buddhist death meditations, this guided meditation poses questions to help you reflect on the impermanent nature of our inter-connected lives? I have found that reflecting on death helps me live more fully and be more present during my days.
Trigger warning: contains discussions of death and dying; I would ask that someone who is at any remote risk of self-harm to not listen.

2 - Grounding Body Scan Meditation
Mindful and compassionate body scan to ground you at this moment. I use some visualization (your body lighting up or you breathing into your body). Body scans have helped me grow and heal as a survivor of eating disorders. I made this meditation to incorporate more compassion and recognition of how we sense connection into this. I want to thank Dr. Heidi Walk, Thich Nhaht Hahn, and True Peace Toronto for their influence on my mindfulness practice.

1 - Connection Meditation
This meditation uses guided visualization to imagine how our relationships and connections give us strength. You imagine being a tree in a forest of connection, providing mutual love and support. It intends to remind you that you are never alone, and those you love are never truly gone. Philosophically, this meditation connects to the idea of Inter-being as described by Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hahn.
