Here's a chocolate meditation for sweet, sweet stress relief. It's the perfect sensory meditation for the cold, busy holiday season (if you love chocolate, anyway). But if you don't like or can't eat chocolate, just try this meditation with something you do love.

Try this meditation to relieve holiday stress. The idea is to let go of everything... just for one, sweet moment. And by everything I mean people, to-do lists, parties, responsibilities, expectations, anything and everything that comes with the holiday season. All you need is a couple of minutes.

Meditating on the moon is at once grounding and uplifting. With your body resting on the earth and your eyes to the sky, it’s hard not to feel lifted out of your worries, plucked from your grievances, and planted firmly in the knowing that life on earth is a gift.

A bath can be, well, a bath. Or, it can be a bath ritual. The difference is in the way you feel about it. In the way it makes you feel. If by Tuesday it's already been a long week, try this easy at-home ritual tonight. You'll feel so. much. better.

Stress happens. It doesn’t care if you’re in the middle of a meeting or the grocery store, or cozied up on the couch. Try this visualization for stress — I call it “the energy bubble” — before anyone or anything else decides how you’re going to feel. If stress pops up, you’ll be ready… and you’ll stay awesome.

Do you need some help meditating? Try reciting a meaningful phrase (sometimes called a mantra) - it's an ancient practice for reigning in the wandering mind. And it works. So, here are 5 easy-to-remember affirmations for meditation, inspired by my own practice.

Short mantras are the best mantras when I need to calm down. They bring you back to the present moment because they trigger you to reevaluate what matters right now. Try one of these mantras the next time you need a breath of fresh air... in your soul.

These mantras are the perfect tools to use during your meditations to kindle the inner light you keep—the light that never goes out. If you’re feeling tired, weighed down, heavy, or dimmed, sit with these phrases and soak up their rejuvenating energy.

Meditation is like a mental shower, a cleansing of all the crazed thoughts and hurt feelings. If you need some more peace in your life, here are my favorite online meditation resources.
