The weather changes. The mountain does not. An old meditation of mine, back by request, for when everything outside you is going off.

About 18 minutes, ending on the singing bowl.

You picture a mountain in real detail, the trees, the snow, the clouds sitting on top of it. Then you let it become you. Storms arrive on the outside and it stays exactly where it is. I leave you sitting in that for a couple of minutes and keep an eye on the clock.

A bedtime story for children. A lost pillow, a forest at night, and six animals who all know where it is and come along anyway.

About 13 minutes, for children at bedtime.

Daisy the deer, Sammy the squirrel, Benny the badger, Ruby the rabbit, Timmy the turtle and Walter the wise owl. Each one gives a small piece of advice and joins the search. The pillow was on the bed the whole time, and the bed turns out to be big enough for everybody.

Calm does not have to mean flat. This is the morning one for waking the whole thing up, energy and excitement included.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice. Perfect for the morning.

You walk into a forest with the sun coming up, and in a clearing there is a pool of golden water. You step into it and let the warmth fill you. It finishes with loving kindness, for you and for everyone you will meet today, because energy on its own is not much use without some compassion behind it.

For the days you feel you are not enough. Ten short lines, said plainly, no build up. The last one is the title.

About 14 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

Three lines for self-compassion, three for inner strength, four for your own worth. You say each one after me and try to feel it as already true, today and yesterday and next year. It closes with a hand on your heart. May I be happy. May I be well. May I be loved.

Deliberately simple, so you can take it anywhere. The car, the corridor outside a meeting, the kitchen with a child pulling at your hand.

About 12 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

One idea sits underneath it. When you breathe in, the universe breathes out. There is a balance in every breath, and it is always available, whatever else is going on around you. Thich Nhat Hanh said returning to the breath is like kissing the floor with every step. That is the whole practice, and it is enough.

Your anxiety is not the enemy. It is a jumpy friend trying to keep you safe, and sometimes it gets it wrong. This one sits you both down.

About 15 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

You bring up a small anxious feeling, find where it sits in the body, and look at it with curiosity instead of dread. Then you ask it the honest question: what are you trying to tell me? You thank it for all the watching it has done, and you agree some boundaries about how loud it needs to be. It stops being a thing to get rid of.

No goal here. Nothing to achieve. Not even relaxing, because that would be doing something. Easier said than done, and I know it.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

We have built a world where even sitting down to relax is a task on the list. So this one asks for nothing at all. The breath comes and goes, sounds come and go, and the thought that says this is a waste of time comes and goes too. You let all of it. What is left is a moment with no pressure in it anywhere.

A quiet walk back through your day at the end of it. The good bits and the hard bits, both worth a thank you before you sleep.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice. Perfect for the evening.

We start at the moment you woke up and move slowly through the day. You stop on a couple of small joys, a decent coffee, a stranger's smile, a thing you actually finished. Then the harder moments, not to pick over, just to notice what they taught you. It works a bit like journaling, except you do it in your body, and it settles you for sleep.

For when you know the answer is in there somewhere and you cannot get at it. A walk to a clearing, to meet the wise one you already are.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

You sit on a fallen tree with a figure who is everything you would want in a wise teacher. You ask them something you are worried about. The answer might arrive as a word, a feeling or a picture, and somewhere in it you notice the answer is coming from you. That is rather the point.

I could not meditate for twenty years. Too fidgety, mind like a firework. If that is you, stay to the end.

A 23 minute talk, with a guided practice at the end.

I gave up at 27 after about three minutes. I started again at 40, at rock bottom, because every book I picked up told me to and I got tired of turning the page. Here I go through what meditation is not, the three kinds I actually use, focus, awareness and intention, and then we do all three together. Not once do I ask you to stop your thoughts. That was never going to happen.
