For this meditation, we invite you to breathe through your nose only, allowing your breath to guide you.

If this is your first time connecting with us, we’d love to hear about your experience.

Notice how you feel at the beginning and then at the end, what in particular has moved or shifted and if so, how so. Where in the body are you noticing?

Awareness is key and we are grateful for any insights you’d like to share!

Meditation created and narrated by Hannah Goodman & Hannah Nedas

Guided by the mystical insights of Sharlyn Hidalgo's book, "The Healing Power of Trees," we venture forth into a monthly enchantment, each time entwined with a different tree steeped in the tapestry of Celtic lore. Embracing the ancient spiritual rites of the British Isles, we dance in harmony with the sacred rhythms of nature, acknowledging our connection and place within its grand design. Through communion with the earth's ancient wisdom and the whispered secrets of each arboreal guardian, we weave with our breath, inhaling deeply the essence of their mystical teachings.

A guided invitation for self enquiry and reflection around the concept of freedom and what that really means for you?   

Allow your conscious breathing to guide you, create more space and grounding with each breath and see what comes from this 5 minute self enquiry meditation. 

You might be surprised!

Today's breath pattern is inspired by Rosemary. 🌿  

Rosemary has been used for hundreds of years for many many uses. I mainly use it in tea or to make smudge sticks. A fresh stig in a gin and tonic also tastes delicious! 🍸  I’ve even made a pillow spray because I just love the smell.   

It's said that Rosemary aids in memory and learning. In honour of this clearing and clarifying herb, we will be doing a breath pattern, which you might know as alternate nostril breathing, which helps to rebalance not only our nervous system but the right and left hemispheres of our brains. 🧠  

Because in order to remember and feel clarity around the important things in life we must first declutter, rebalance and create the space. 💟  

Hope you enjoy this moment to breathe. Let us know how you got on!

I am talking to Gwen Payne today, the founder of Inspired Sedona and Breath is Prayer.

This week the Stingy Nettle has taken centre stage, invoking metaphors and self-enquiry around the more prickly parts of ourselves and the nutrients that lie under them.

Many of our protective mechanisms were formed as children and as adults, we are not always conscious of them, they can be overlooked as parts of our personality.

Welcome to Grounded Life! Here is one of our favourite Grounding Meditations, connecting you to your roots to bring you back to a grounded sense of aliveness at any time.

Make sure you are somewhere safe where you are unlikely to be disturbed before doing this practice.

And please let us know how you got on :)
