  • You’re Breathing Anyway

    You’re Breathing Anyway
    Jun 17 2024
    In this meditation we’ll draw some attention to the reality that we’re always breathing — automatically, constantly, and unconsciously. With this in mind we can begin to see the breath as a simple and natural anchor for our meditation practice, approaching it with the view that if we’re breathing anyway, we might as well use the breath as a support for our practice. This can be a surprisingly liberating way of relating to the breath, as it can help us to relax and release some of the effort and energy we tend to put into our meditation — offering us an object that requires nothing more than our simple and bare attention. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Staying in the Middle

    Staying in the Middle
    Jun 14 2024
    In this meditation we’ll settle into a middle way between making too much effort and making no effort at all. Resting in this middle space we can invite a sense of openness and ease into our practice, learning to let go of the need to constantly exert ourselves, whilst at the same time maintaining the energy and enthusiasm we need to practice. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Little Mountain

    Little Mountain
    Jun 13 2024
    In this meditation we’ll bring to mind the image of a mountain, becoming aware of its qualities of strength, resilience, and deep stillness, and we’ll then imagine ourselves merging with that mountain, absorbing all of those wonderful qualities into ourselves. By becoming a mountain in this symbolic way we can invite a strong sense of grounding and calm into our experience, feeling ourselves rooted and still in the midst of a busy world. This is a shorter version of the popular mountain meditation, and I hope that you can still take a lot from it. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day.

  • The Constant Gift

    The Constant Gift
    Jun 10 2024
    In this meditation we’ll begin to open up to the idea of the breath as a gift that’s constantly flowing into our body. Rather than viewing the breath as just a physical mechanism, we can instead develop a sense of gratitude and awe towards it as something deeper — a life-sustaining gift that’s offered to us freely, moment after moment throughout our entire lives, from both our external and internal world. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Noticing the Thought

    Noticing the Thought
    Jun 6 2024
    In this meditation we’ll simply watch the breath and notice any thoughts that come into our awareness. To notice a thought is a subtle yet powerful act of mindfulness — to notice something implies that we experience a certain degree of separateness from it. So to notice a thought means that we’re not caught up in it. We might get lost for a while in daydreams, thoughts, and memories, but the moment we notice that we’re lost we immediately come back. It’s difficult to be lost and found, asleep and awake, at the same time. So this simple act of noticing is actually an incredibly powerful tool for cultivating, and remaining in, mindful awareness. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Beginner’s Mind

    Beginner’s Mind
    Jun 4 2024
    In this meditation we’ll reconnect with our beginner’s mind, inviting a new and fresh perspective into our practice. By cultivating a beginner’s mind we can approach each breath, each moment, as if for the first time, dropping all our expectations and assumptions and simply being present with the vast, open, and expansive moment as it unfolds in front of us. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Knowing Where You Are

    Knowing Where You Are
    May 30 2024
    In this meditation we’ll cultivate a solid and grounded sense of knowing exactly where we are, both physically (as in the felt sensations of our body sitting or lying in space) and mentally (as in the thoughts and emotions that are present with us as we practice). Maintaining this kind of simple awareness can be soothing and at the same time empowering — allowing us to feel a deeper connection to our lived experience, both internally and externally. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.

  • Calm

    Calm
    May 24 2024
    In this meditation we’ll establish some contact with the body by first placing a hand on the chest and a hand on the belly, and then we’ll bring our awareness to the breath as it moves and flows through the belly, ribs, and chest. Then we’ll just watch the breath and the body in this way, gently expanding and contracting, allowing the rhythm, movements, and sensations to guide us into a state of calm. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day. They are offered completely freely, with the sole intention of supporting your personal wellbeing.
