I’m Jo, the heart and soul behind A Zen Mind. Here’s my story.
🪙 Whether we realize it or not, many of our beliefs about money & wealth are shaped by things that may not have been in our control – our society, upbringing, & environment can quietly limit our capacity to receive. Through this practice, we gently release old beliefs and tune into the frequency of wealth, abundance, and financial freedom. We focus on feeling safe, open, and worthy of receiving, not just money, but overflow, wealth, and ease. By shifting your energy and self-concept around money, you begin to align with a state of true abundance, from the inside out. During this space, we will ground into the body, move into deep gratitude from the heartspace, and move into a series of embodied affirmations. This is your space to feel abundant in your nature, safe in your body, and open to all that is meant for you – and more.
💨 During this practice, we’ll move through two deeply calming and restorative pranayama techniques. Beginning with box breathing (4-4-4-4 breath) to steady the body and mind, and then easing into 4-7-8 breathing, allowing each inhale and exhale to grow slower, deeper, and more nourishing.Each technique begins with several guided counted rounds, followed by a few quiet minutes for you to explore your own rhythm. Perfect for moments of stress, anxious energy, a busy mind, winding down before sleep, or anytime you simply want to slow down and breathe more deeply.This practice gently guides you into a deeper state of ease, supporting your nervous system, softening your energy, and creating space for release, relief, and reconnection, all through the power of your breath.
☁️ This meditation is a simple yet powerful practice in deep breathing, designed to bring realignment and clarity. Using a 5-10 breathing pattern—inhale for five, exhale for ten—you’ll slow down the nervous system, activate the parasympathetic response, and encourage a deep state of calm. But don’t worry if you can’t reach these counts—just do the best you can.This practice is equal parts guided and spacious. You’ll receive gentle cues and counting, but also have moments to settle into the breath on your own.Perfect for any time of day, this meditation was created to help you reset, breathe deeply, and return to balance.
🧠 This meditation was created to strengthen your focus and bring clarity to your mind. Just like any other muscle, the mind must be exercised and trained—and this gentle practice does just that.Using simple breathing and counting techniques, you’ll train your mind to stay present and focused. Over time, this practice will help you cultivate a stronger sense of clarity, not just during meditation, but in other areas of your life as well.This meditation is perfect to revisit 2–3 times a week, offering a simple yet powerful way to enhance your focus and sharpen your mental clarity.
💛 This meditation was created to gently hold you in moments of anxiety, overthinking, and stress. It’s a compassionate space where you can release fear, worry, and tension, allowing yourself to melt into a state of blissful presence.Through the soothing box breathing technique, you’ll calm your racing thoughts, turn inward, and reconnect with the reservoir of peace that’s always within you. This meditation is also a loving reminder that while we can’t control external circumstances, we can choose how we respond—and how we care for ourselves in the process.Let this be your time to breathe, to be, and to reconnect with your true self, free from the stress and worries, in this beautiful space of presence and peace.
☁️This practice is one of my recent favorite breathing techniques for calming the nervous system quickly and effectively. The physiological sigh (also known as cyclic sighing) involves two inhales through the nose, followed by a slow extended exhale through the mouth. It’s a simple yet powerful way to bring your body back into a state of regulation. This is a great practice if you’re feeling anxious, overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just needing to come back into your body.Read more about Cyclic Sighing here.

This three-part breath is one of my favorite ways to calm the nervous system in an easy, soft, and practical way, as we create safety, rhythm, and ease through the breath.This practice was inspired by a question I was recently asked: what would help you feel just 1% better in this moment?It’s a simple yet profound return to your inner world, your needs, and your ability to offer yourself exactly that. This practice is an invitation into gentle, embodied intention through the breath.
