  1. Seeing Within — A Quiet Beginning

    6D AGO

    Seeing Within — A Quiet Beginning

    Seeing Within is an audio-led space for listening quietly and without pressure. In this opening episode, Dawn introduces the intention behind the podcast and why it has been created as a listening-first space. After being diagnosed with Stargardt’s disease and living with sight loss, she reflects on sound, attention, and presence . That inspired her to create something shaped for people who are visually impaired. It is also open to anyone drawn to slower, more attentive listening. This is not a podcast to rush through. There is no right way to listen. Credits Produced by Anne Gould Music via Epidemic Sound With thanks to Sarah Place Accountants, Bury St Edmunds, for supporting the production.

  2. Evening Meditation for Sleep

    Evening Meditation for Sleep

    Here are two new videos that I’d love to share, one to start your day with presence, and the other to help you end it with peace. The first is a gentle evening meditation — a way to wind down, breathe deeply, and rest well. It’s a soft, grounding practice to support you as the day ends. The second is a short reflection on Yoga Sutra 1.12: abhyāsa-vairāgyābhyām tan-nirodhah — which speaks to the importance of regular practice and non-attachment. Click here to listen This teaching has shaped the way I approach my own practice. I often think of it like planting seeds: roots come before fruit, and it all takes time, care, and trust. Both are now available on my YouTube channel. I’d love for you to listen and use them. Namaste. This is a public episode.

    Dandelion Reflection & Morning Meditation

    As I prepare to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks — to raise money for the Macular Society — I was inspired by the dandelions beside Constable’s River Stour and the water meadows close to my home. And these two audio pieces emerged. I have Stargardt’s disease and am losing my vision so these humble flowers seem to shine more brightly right now. The first (above) is a morning meditation — simple, gentle, and grounding ideal for starting your day. The second (below) is a short reflection I recorded spontaneously about the lessons we can learn from nature. These are for anyone who finds connection through listening and for those like me with vision issues. Thank you for listening. 🌼 For more details about my Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge here’s a link to my Just Giving Page. This is a public episode.

  5. "I Expected This… But It Still Hurts"

    "I Expected This… But It Still Hurts"

    I knew what the doctor was going to say. I’ve felt the changes, seen—well, not seen—the smudges, the signs of decline. I told myself I was ready to hear it. But when the words came, they still hit hard. Today’s hospital visit confirmed what I already suspected—my vision has deteriorated again. The pressure in my eyes, the constant feeling of a smudge on my glasses that isn’t really there… it’s not my imagination. It’s my reality. This is the thing about vision loss—it’s not just about seeing less. It’s about constant adaptation, about grieving each stage while learning to work with what’s left. It’s about knowing the facts but still feeling the weight of them. But I refuse to stay in this feeling for long. Yes, today I feel down. But tomorrow, I’ll pick myself up. New glasses, new adjustments, and a renewed commitment to moving forward. Because acceptance is a process. And I’m still on the journey. This is a public episode.
