For when the world is going too fast. You slow yourself down first, then let everything else follow you.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

It starts inside. The breath, the muscles, then the thoughts getting further apart. Then you look at whatever is near you, a cup, a table, and let that slow down too, until the whole thing has dropped a gear. I have thoughts but I am not those thoughts. I have feelings but I am not those feelings.

An evening beach with nobody on it, the sand still warm, and a dune to lie down in.

About 13 minutes, tense and release first. Only listen where it is safe to sleep.

Tense and release through the body first, because that is the part that does the work and the body usually goes under before the mind. Then the walk. The sea does not try to be anything other than the sea. It comes in, it goes out. Your breath is doing exactly the same thing and you are not running either of them.

For the kitchen table with a cup of tea, before anyone needs anything from you.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice. Perfect for the morning.

The stillness you find here is not something this meditation makes. It is always there. You just cannot see it when you are in doing mode. Then you walk the day through gently. A little extra time getting places, a pause at a door, listening to someone a beat longer than you normally would.

For when you have been doing everything right and nothing seems to be moving. Progress is often invisible while it is happening.

About 11 minutes, a short talk then a meditation.

A seed underground has nothing to show for weeks. Healing works the same. Trust is not believing everything is fine, it is knowing you are moving even in the dark. You walk a path where the light breaks through sometimes and the fog rolls in at others. I trust the path even when I cannot see it.

The lotus never asks the water to be clear before it rises. You do not need the world sorted before you open.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice. Perfect for the morning.

Pick your flower. A lotus, a rose, a sunflower, or a wild Cornish one out of the hedgerow. You start closed in the soil with roots going down into everything that has happened to you, the hard parts included. Then the light changes and you open, one petal at a time. Nothing outside you has changed. You have.

Nothing gets built in this one. You walk round a garden finding the strengths that were already growing in it.

About 14 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

Moss in the shade is your kindness, the sort you give without needing it noticed. The old tree in the middle is your patience. The still pool is your empathy. A single wildflower between the stones, not the biggest or the loudest but bravely open, is your courage. At each one you find a real moment from this week.

Lights off, phone face down. A lantern path up a hill, and music that fades to nothing while you go under.

About 17 minutes, tense and release first, with music that fades near the end.

Your body falls asleep first and the mind follows, so we start with the body. Tense and let go, section by section, which is the most reliable way there is into sleep. Then the walk. Stone walls with moss on them, lanterns getting smaller until they blend into the stars, and a warm bench at the top. You are not meant to reach it.

We give better advice to other people than we ever give ourselves. Twelve minutes of turning that round.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

You zoom out and watch yourself go about the day. The scrolling, the food, the thing you do to avoid thinking. You watch as a kind parent would, not a critical one. Then you pick one thing, only one, that you would gently suggest. We already know what to do. We have read the book. We just sit back and do not do it.

A short drop out of the head and into the heart, for the moment you are stuck in noise with nothing you can usefully solve.

Under 4 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

You let the body settle, then move your attention down out of the thinking and into the chest. Quiet over the clutter, trust over control. It ends on three lines about resting in the wisdom of your heart, your breath and this moment, and then you are back.

Three minutes, sitting or standing, for the moment it has all got a bit much and you cannot leave the room.

About 3 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

Let gravity have the weight of you. Notice you are already breathing. You are not the thoughts, and you are not the story about how today is going. Let this moment be enough, let yourself be enough, and then go back in.
