Healing Our Core Wounds

In this episode, I simplify the how and why of the way we meditate. Do I need to sit upright? Do I need to close my eyes? How should I position myself in meditation? What is the underlying goal of meditation? What attitude should I have about the practice? 

In this episode I offer some advice to help build the body-mind and mind-body connection, to promote relaxation and tap into positive feelings. In this episode I talk about the 'fake it until you make it' approach to suspending negative thoughts and beliefs and generating positive feelings.

In this episode I talk about the Five Types of meditation; Concentration Based Meditation, Mindfulness Based Meditation, The Cultivation of Positive Feelings, The Exploration of Negative Feelings and the Exploration of Self / Reality. Understanding these practices will help you recognise and choose what best suits your wants and needs at any given moment, and frankly it will help to keep meditation interesting. There's a lot more to meditation than simply breathing and relaxation!

This guided meditation focuses on strengthening the body-mind connection through relaxation, while practicing the the mindfulness of sound and sensation and thoughts as mere phenomena, which can be observed like sounds.

In this episode I talk about some common misconceptions around meditation, both how we do it and what it's for. The common pitfalls being, people making an effort to 'clear the mind' and expecting meditation to always lead to feeling better. The good news is, meditation's easier and better than you think it is!

In this episode, I discuss how the Wim Hof breathing method can help with your physical, mental and emotional health. It's free, it's easy, and it only takes 10 minutes.

This is a short story of a personal experience which illuminated for me the fact everyone is doing their best to be happy, even if their actions make little sense to us, and from this perspective, everything they do is acceptable, forgivable.
