  • A Friend to the World

    A Friend to the World
    Jul 3 2024
    In this meditation we’ll call to mind the image of a good friend — someone who naturally makes us smile and brings us happiness. Then we’ll radiate feelings of goodwill, wishes of happiness, out towards them. After doing this for a while we’ll gently let go of the image of our friend, and allow the positive feelings of friendliness that we’ve been cultivating to flow out in all directions, touching everyone and everything, unconditionally and naturally, the way that a lightbulb shines its light on everything without discrimination. In this way we can feel what it’s like, even just for a short while, to be a friend to world — wishing goodwill to all. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day.

  • Expanding, Relaxing, Relaxing

    Expanding, Relaxing, Relaxing
    Jul 2 2024
    In this meditation we’ll tune into the sensations of the body expanding and relaxing as the breath comes in and goes out. We can use these sensations as a tool for strengthening the connection between body and mind and coming into a heightened state of mindful awareness. But as we continue, we’ll begin to release the expansive part of the breath from our attention, focussing more intently on the relaxing aspect — the exhale — and cultivating the feelings of tranquility and release that accompany the out-breath. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day.

  • Settle, Settle

    Settle, Settle
    Jul 1 2024
    In this meditation we’ll come into stillness, gradually relaxing the mind and body and allowing ourselves — like stirred-up water in a pond — to settle into a state of quiet, undisturbed calm. Then, resting in this settled state, we can invite a wonderful sense of space, clarity, and peace into our experience. 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.

  • Heart Coherence

    Heart Coherence
    Jun 28 2024
    In this meditation we’ll connect with the energetic centre of the heart, breathing through this area of the body and, if it feels comfortable, establishing a physical connection with it by placing our hands on the chest. As we breathe through the heart, we’ll then begin to cultivate feelings of appreciation, calm, and ease, and invite these into the rhythm and flow of our breathing. This meditation is based on a technique taught by the HeartMath Institute, and can be used to strengthen attributes of compassion and care, as well as restoring balance in stressful moments. 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.

  • Following the Thread

    Following the Thread
    Jun 27 2024
    In this meditation we’ll use the metaphor of the breath as a thread as a way of engaging with our breathing in a new way. The breath is such a wonderful support for our practice, and it’s a really effective object to work with for both beginning and experienced meditators. For me, finding new ways of approaching the breath — considering new metaphors and images to work with — is a great way of keeping my practice fresh and engaging. I hope it will resonate with you as well. This metaphor of the breath as a thread was inspired by a talk given by Gil Fronsdal as part of his “Mindfulness of Breathing” series, which is free to listen to on the Audio Dharma website. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day.

  • Clear Water

    Clear Water
    Jun 25 2024
    In this meditation we’ll imagine ourselves stepping into a pool of clear, bright water, and allowing the renewing, healing properties of the water to wash over us, filling us with a sense of refreshment. Visualising water can be a wonderful way to bring a sense of clarity and calm to our practice, whilst also infusing our experience with the bright, fluid, and open qualities that water possesses. I really hope that these recordings can be of benefit to you — bringing a little bit of ease, calm, and gentleness to your day.

  • One, One, One

    One, One, One
    Jun 24 2024
    In this meditation we’ll silently and steadily repeat the word ‘one’ over and over to ourselves. There’s no particular significance to the word itself — the intention is only that we focus on the repetition of it. In this way we can engage in a kind of neutral mantra practice, using the word to anchor our attention and bring us into a deeper state of calm, stillness, and peace, whilst simultaneously promoting focus and concentration. One of the other wonderful things about any kind of mantra-style practice is that it can really help to silence our mental chatter — because when we set the mind the simple task of repeating a word, it can become much more difficult for the inner dialogue to establish itself and take over. 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.

  • 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.
