Zen for Everyday Life with Matt Valentine: Mindfulness | Guided Meditation | Finding Peace in the Pr
4 AUG 2016 · This week is Rise with the Sun week on the ZfEL podcast and this weeks guided meditation is a guided morning meditation self-titled after this weeks theme thats all about getting started on the right foot.
When you first wake up, do you rush up from bed, scrounge together your things, and race out the door? Do you take a second to stop and read whats going on inside of you? Rise with the Sun is about taking inventory before the day gets started so that youre on solid ground and can handle the challenges of your day with more poise and clarity.
Also, dont forget to check out this weeks talk episode, episode #38, How to Craft a Powerful Morning Ritual. This is a subject I havent much talked about yet on the podcast and so Im excited to be talking about it with you now.

26 JUL 2016 · This week is Zen week on the ZfEL podcast and this weeks guided meditation is the traditional Zen meditation practice of Zazen (literally meaning sitting/seated meditation in Japanese).
I covered this meditation practice in a previous episode, however, I felt it could have been better and didnt express the nuances of the practice as well as it could have as compared to secular mindfulness or Vipassana mindfulness meditation practice, so Ive decided to do a new (and much better) version.
Also, dont forget to check out this weeks second episode, episode #36, How to Live with the Spirit of Zen in Your Everyday Life. This is a subject I havent much talked about yet on the podcast and so Im excited to be talking about it with you now.

1 JUL 2016 · This weeks guided meditation is another unique practice- mindful smiling. A smile is a power symbol of joy and happiness. However, most dont know that smiling more than just a symbol (or the result of something), its a powerful tool which can be used intentionally to make us happier and more at peace.
This weeks guided meditation is all about using the power of intention and the natural effect of smiling with mindfulness.
Also, dont forget to check out this weeks second episode, episode #34, which is a special guided meditation episode (yes, two this week!) to accompany my new Meditation for Everyday Life video series which was just released this week on how to create and stick to a strong and consistent daily meditation practice amid the chaos and busyness of everyday life. This guided meditation is a preview of my full Meditation for Everyday Life course program.

11 JUN 2016 · This weeks guided meditation is the everyday informal practice of mindful walking. Weve covered the formal practice of walking meditation before, where you walk back and forth or in a circle typically in your room or wherever you meditate (anywhere really) and generally at a very slow pace. Practicing mindful walking in daily life is similar, but still very different in important ways.
In this guided meditation, Ill take you through a practice you can do walking about in your daily life, from your car to work, work to your car, around the office, down the street, in a grocery store, and even out for a short walk to check your mail or take out the trash. The opportunities to use this practice are limitless and thats why its a personal favorite.

27 JAN 2016 · This week Im giving a little preview of one of the 4 major principles from my upcoming book, This Moment: How to Live Fully and Freely in the Present Moment. Today I talk about living naturally, within that specifically the principle of friction, or resistance. Its the understanding that our resistance to what goes on in our life causes friction. And its this friction which causes much of our suffering.
I open up about my own life to give a clear example of the principle at work, plus I do a reading of a previous article that perfectly fits the theme, which I also chose to include in the book.
Also make sure to listen to this weeks guided meditation, which is ZfEL #15: Healing Through Understanding, a very active meditation (or contemplation or sorts) which has a remarkable ability at healing internal wounds caused by conflicts with others.
Thank you for listening and let me know what you think. :)
