Navigating Distractions is a master class in meditation. In fact, it's the entire point!This week's guided meditation is FREE, BTW.

YOU are the architect of your own destiny and YOU are also the one and only human who can quiet your mind. It's up to you. I'm just the coach/Reiki Master/meditation teacher who's here to help you facilitate this commitment to yourself. This week...helicopters, fireworks storms, barking dogs, a jackhammer, a repair guy...the distractions were many. I can't go live in Walden for God's sake...Meditating is hard; recording meditations is harder. "So," I thought to myself, "Let me go see what I have recorded on that hard drive." THIS. I had a meditation about how to deal with the always-barking dog. š© Which is funny and ironic. It's also proof that we're never done learning what meditation has to teach us. (And some of us seem to find the same lesson over and over). šŖ· In this episode of Destiny Architecture Guided Meditations, we explore the challenges of meditating with distractions and external noises like a barking dog. Focus on your breath and surroundings for about a minute and a half and then let go of the need to react or label noises with negative or positive judgments. Listen as I open up about my own struggles with external noises during recording sessions and how I cope with this challenge.

As the title says, this guided meditation is for when Everything is F*cked Up: Youāre in a bad mood Thereās a barking dog (or other unpleasant noises, like your kids). You canāt focus, concentrate, or thinkYou keep using your fat, potty mouth I typically try to practice saucha (or cleanliness) with my speech, but in this meditation, Iām dropping some F-bombs! Hereās the thing: your practices are going to suck sometimes. There will be noise, hurt, or stress that makes it hard to meditate. You may be over capacity and wondering HOW meditation can possibly help.This meditation will teach you a new mindset and approach to meditating during chaos SO THAT YOU CAN meditate during chaos! Embrace the chaos monkeys as teachers (but donāt forget your boundaries). Letās say that barking dog is happening FOR you. That stress is happening FOR you. The noise and annoyances are happening FOR you. These are teachers. These are things you likely cannot control. So how do you deal with them? How do you learn to coexist with them? How can you make peace with the things you do not like? Is it possible to meditate even when thereās construction noise, a nagging feeling of existential crisis, or a whiny child in your house (whom you love very much) with a head cold who constantly cries, āMoM!?!?!?ā Meditation is the absence of the fluctuations of the mind. Thereās nothing in the yoga sutras (that Iāve found yet) that says we need to find a QUIET PLACE in order to meditate. The sutras teach that we are to calm the waves of our mind. Period. The sutras say we are to go within. I take that to mean we go within regardless of whatās happening on the outside of us. I get into this before the meditation begins. It will be a very sweary meditation! But since I recorded it with a chirping smoke alarm and construction noise in the background, this one is a freebie. Yes, due to poor audio and my potty mouth, I didnāt feel right charging for it! But this is also an important message for anyone learning to meditate (no matter how long youāve been meditating). You can be a beginner meditator or a veteran and still benefit from this very f*cking sweary guided meditation practice! Enjoy a brief talk + meditation with a few minutes of relaxing music at the end. by Meditation Teacher Heather Larson DestinyArchitecture.com & DestinyArchitecture.net@WriterHeatherL on Twitter @heatherlarson on Lemon8 @destinyarchitect on Instagram & TikTok

A Guided Meditation to Help You Fall Asleep: The intention of this meditation is to help you fall asleep. This lasts 13:26 and then the music will fade over the final two minutes (15 min total). Use this to help relax, fall asleepāor both. Youāll work on relaxing, letting go, and not fighting sleep. Youāll also practice openness that will help attune you to finding answers within you regarding your sleep samskara. Whatās a samskara? In yoga, a samskara is a pattern of subconscious behavior. It translates from Sanskrit to āmental impression,ā or āhabit pattern.ā What samskara do you have that stands between yourself and sleep? In this practice, you learn to ask for the answer while relaxing into the rest you need.

A Guided Meditation to Help You Release The Weekās Troubles
This meditation will help you release any troubles or difficulties of the week as you step into the here and now. Youāll ground into the present as you release any negativity without becoming caught up in it through rumination or negative thinking cycles. Youāll become more aware of this type of thinking (if itās present) so that you can choose better thoughts. Youāll use a tool from Reiki in order to decrease the discomfort caused by (over)thinking about problems.
Heather Larson is your meditation teacher recording these guided 10-minute meditations weekly. This meditation is actually ~15 minutes long and features soothing music as well as Heatherās singing bowl.
With the Destiny Architecture guided meditations by Heather Larson, the goal is to relax you while also giving you a mild amount of āhow toā meditation instruction so that you have the tools to build your own practice if you so choose. However, itās enough to merely listen to these meditations each week. Each meditation gets you started meditating right away.
Heather releases them on Fridays so that you have a healthy, substance-free way to kick off the weekend because āItās 5:00 somewhereātime for self-care.ā Enjoy the peace.
