A few minutes for you - chilled tank drum meditation with The MamaKind Club

Trigger warning: discussion of postnatal depression and anxiety and sharing of personal experience. Today on The MamaKind Club we have Dr Caroline Boyd, Chartered Clinical Psychologist and mama to two. We hope that this conversation is honest, informative and raises awareness and ultimately means that no one feels alone. If you have an overwhelming sense of wanting or intending to hurt yourself or your baby, it’s essential you seek help immediately by calling emergency health services (in the UK, call 999 or visit A&E). Dr Boyd has a help-seeking highlight on her page, and website too. Dr Caroline Boyd, Chartered Clinical Psychologist www.drcarolineboyd.com ​Instagram: @_drboyd

I had a request for a meditation that could be done at any time of the day, from a busy mama who wanted to take a few minutes out of her day to calm her mind and practice mindfulness. I’m more than happy to oblige, so please enjoy this ten minute meditation. Practice as often as you can.

Walking is a lovely active meditation that, with some practice, can be incorporated whenever you walk, even if it’s from one room to another! Pop your headphones in and come for a short walk with me and practice some mindfulness. (The walk is only 13 minutes long).

Today you will be taken on a journey to the land of nod. Plug in, relax and drift off. Please do not listen when driving etc as this meditation is intended to send you to sleep. Enjoy and sleep well.
