This meditation is about shining a light on those parts of ourselves that prefer to lurk in the dark.  Not 'boxing' out shadows but understanding them, and maybe even finding out they've been protecting us all along. So if you're ready to turn 'no shade' into 'know shade' – press play.

Stressing over cash? Let's find some chill in the bills. Of course, mediation can't solve the financial strain many of us are under at the moment. But not all of our anxiety around money is rational. We love this meditation practice for some sense when you're sweating the dollars.

Exercise can be extra strenuous when you're carrying the weight of past traumas. What if there was a way to move, stretch and strengthen your body while honouring this journey? We love this approach from somatic healer Johnathan Mead where safety and compassion lead the way.  LINKS Check out Jonathan Mead's work at embodiedmovement.co Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan @caseydonovan88 Writer: Amy Molloy @amymolloy Executive Producer: Anna...

This meditation isn't about chilling out. It's about tuning in.. to our bodies. When we're stationary much of the day and live more of our lives through a screen, it's easy to feel out of touch with your body. Well, it's time to get reacquainted.  We want to help you reconnect with your head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes), and every other inch of that beautiful flesh suit of yours.  LINKS Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan...

Do you ever feel like you're bracing for something bad to happen? Even if you're not into building bunkers and hoarding tinned goods, many of us act like doomsday preppers in other areas of our lives. We think that anticipating a bad outcome will make us feel safer and more prepared.  But you're not more prepared. And it's hard to feel safe when you're constantly bracing for impact. It's time to let that go.  LINKS Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan...

Behavioural scientist Logan Ury is calling b******t on your 'icks'. Not because you're too picky or shallow. Rather, if you're someone who constantly gets the ick, then there may be something else going on under the surface. Are they icky, or are you scared of getting sticky feelings? Or maybe it's not that deep for you. Take a listen and decide for yourself. LINKS Check out Logan Ury @loganury on Instragram Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan...

Did you ever have a safety blanket as a kid? Or a stuffed toy that never left your side?  There's no shame in feeling soothed by a physical object, even as an adult. But for many of us, our phones have become our safety objects. We love this tip to help you feel more anchored without the notifications or distractions.  LINKS Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan @caseydonovan88 Writer: Amy Molloy @amymolloy Executive Producer: Anna HenvestProducer: Adair...

Ever feel like you're watching your life rather than living it? Like you're there but not really there? Sometimes we mentally wrap ourselves in bubblewrap when life is a lot to handle. We're protecting ourselves from bad stuff, but also the good stuff.  This exercise will help you pop those bubbles and gently bring you back to the here and now.  LINKS Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan @caseydonovan88 Writer: Amy Molloy @amymolloy Executive Producer:...

Shakira was right, hips don't lie – they hold stress and tension. This is why they might feel stiffer and sorer when you're worried or overwhelmed. We love this somatic exercise to release tension and create space where stress and sadness have been compacted by time.  Let's get our hips moving and let go of the heavy stuff.  LINKS Follow @novapodcastsofficial on Instagram CREDITS Host: Casey Donovan @caseydonovan88 Writer: Amy Molloy @amymolloy Executive Producer: Anna HenvestProducer:...

Jk we're not big fans of the 'glow up' around here. It may sound sappy but we believe that the real glow comes from learning to love yourself, rock your own unique vibe and not overthinking how others perceive you.  We know that it's not always easy, but this self-belief mediation is a good place to start.
