In the Moment Practices

Guided Meditations with Karen Bluth PhD
Guided meditations by Dr. Karen Bluth. Also called Informal Practices.

“Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh

Formal Practices

Guided Meditations with Karen Bluth, PhD

These group of practices are called “formal” practices because you put aside time each day – maybe 5 to 15 minutes – to do them. Formal practices help you remember to do the informal practices when situations arise in your daily life that are stressful.


Loving-Kindness Practices

Guided Meditations with Karen Bluth, Ph.D

Lovingkindness practices allow you to set your intention to wish yourself and others well. Research has shown that when we do these practices regularly, we feel better – we’re overall happier. Feel free to pick and choose whichever of these practices most appeals to you.
