Thinking about starting a meditation practice? Or have started, but would like more clarity? In this Episode I cover all the basics needed to get your practice going in the right direction.

In this episode we move towards understanding Anxiety better. We assess our own anxiety levels, see the difference between Fear and Anxiety and also see the ways that Anxiety can be helpful at times. Most importantly we see how Mindfulness can be helpful with Anxiety, and allows us to live full vibrant lives, even with anxiety.

Why are people hesitant about Self Compassion? Maybe people think it's self-indulgent or will make them weak! We'll take a look at 5 Myths about Self Compassion and see if there is anything to them.

This show will also look at the Main Two Obstacles that come up in meditation - and how to deal with them.

This week, I talk about how I learned to Meditate. It wasn't a smooth journey and I share some of the mistakes I made along the way. I talk about the types of practice that I learned and the way that I teach today. We'll do a short 2 minute practice during the session, and I'll give 5 clear principles that can make a big difference for your Mindfulness practice.

This week is about Mindfulness and Inner Peace. We look at how we can drop into this feeling of inner peace in any single moment. And how with training we can access this more and more in our lives.

This weeks episode is all about Belonging. We all want to have the feeling that we belong, but often we don’t feel it. I look at how I have struggled in this area. And share the main strategy that helped me find a sense of Belonging.

This weeks episode is all about self compassion, and looking at how that can help us with feeling overwhelmed and especially when we are very self critical.

I go through some exercises that allow for a few minutes of self-care and compassionate time!
