    5c. Soft words, soft voice meditation

    We are hardwired, often socialised as well, to give ourselves a hard time.  This is a function of the brain that is concerned with your survival, though not at all with your happiness. A harsh inner voice is counterproductive to your wellbeing. A good intention, a willingness to soften … this is a good place to start.

    5b. Self-compassion meditation

    You have probably heard of the ‘fight or flight’ system. This meditation activates the lesser known ‘tend and befriend’ system. Include yourself in this naturally warm and fuzzy vibe. Whoever you are, wherever you are, this is a powerful rebalancing exercise.

    4a. Introduction to river bank meditation

    The chatterbox mind is like a river, ceaselessly flowing and churning. This meditation helps you to get familiar with a different aspect of mind. This is your witnessing mind; it does not judge nor get swept away. It has a spacious, very restful quality.

    3b. Naming your thoughts meditation

    This meditation offers a powerful circuit   breaker for those counter-productive stories we keep telling ourselves. When we drop the story, we drop the judgements and the fixed ideas too. Therein lies the possibility for something new, to create a new pathway.

    3a. Introduction to naming our thoughts meditation

    Not only is the chatterbox mind a story making mined with a negative bias, in the absence of information it makes stuff up. This combination often turns out badly and we keep telling ourselves the same unhelpful stories. Name them … see them more clearly.

    2b. Short Meditation

    If you are looking for a quick refresh, this could be just the thing. You will still be ticking all the boxes – checking in with your body, leaning into self-care, increasing your attention, and better managing stress as well.

    2a. Body Scan

    A body scan is restful and restorative. It also allows for a different mind body conversation. Your body does not have language, it has memory and emotion, in the form of sensation. Be willing, be curious to listen … this will help your body to release its own stress.
