Enough - a guided meditation
In this episode, April guides you through a meditation that focuses on feeling "enough". Especially during tough times it can be difficult to access feeling like you are good enough or doing enough. Doing this practice Evan help remind you that regardless of your situation, you have enough, you do enough, and you are enough. Special thanks to Dr Home and the MindKind Fellowship for this practice.

Meditation: Bringing Calm to the System
I had a request from a friend to provide a general meditation for calming that could also be used for falling asleep. This meditation is a basic body scan that guides you through gradual relaxation of the body. You'll notice it ends abruptly and this is in case you are using it to fall asleep. You can exit your meditation at that time or continue to sit in silence. Let me know if you would like more meditations accessible through our podcast. Thanks for listening!
