This is my go-to meditation for peace, stillness and space. The kind of stillness that quietens the mind enough to hear something deeper, your own inner wisdom, speaking from a place beneath the noise of everyday thinking.

In this 30 minute session you will move gently through a breath practice, into open awareness, and finally into a receptive space where you can simply listen. You may come with an intention, something you wish to release, a question you are sitting with, a desire to feel at peace or to let your body heal. Or you may simply come to rest. Both are welcome.

There will be long periods of silence. Your mind will wander. That is completely natural and nothing to worry about. Each time it does, just return to the breath and continue.

What often surprises people is that the guidance or clarity they were looking for doesn't always arrive during the meditation itself,  it comes later that day, quietly, when the mind is still settled.  Trust what comes.

If you have an intention, take a few moments to hold it in mind before you press play. Then let it go and allow the practice to do what it does.

Come as you are. Sit comfortably. Something always shifts.
