In this episode we speak to a lovely couple from Nottingham, UK: Lou & Lol. Lou suffers from anxiety while Lol copes daily with Asperger's and Tourette's. They talk about how the outdoors helps them with their mental wellness and they also touch on how getting out of the house is a process in itself and one that most people don't have to deal with on a daily basis.

This episode shows how Lou & Lol really push themselves to get outdoors and the reason they push themselves so much is because they know how good they will feel once they are out there, getting their meditation.

In this episode ex Canadian policeman Mark Allen explains how he found himself fighting for his life twice within the space of four days. These awful life experiences brought on PTSD,  which Marc still suffers from to some degree.

But with the help of the outdoors, snowshoeing, the stunning landscapes that he is surrounded by in British Colombia, Canada and a little support from his wife, he's getting his mental health back on track.

This episode makes you realise how fragile our life can be and how precious our time is upon this beautiful planet. It's a true story of gratitude.

At the end of the podcast Mark offered to share his email with anyone who is suffering from PTSD and would like to have a chat about it. "My door is always open" were his words.

In this episode Matt Pruitt, aka 4Peace, talks about music and how music production helps him hugely with keeping his mind fresh, focused and motivated. Matt is an electronic music dj/producer and multi record label owner. 

His lifestyle has changed dramatically over the last few years. He's gone from living in one of the biggest, busiest cities in the USA to living a life of peace and tranquility in a beautiful little town in New Zealand.

This episode brought back memories from my own dj'ing and music production days. It also reinforced how important music is to me and many other in the world and how it can lifts your spirits in a flash.

So come and join us for this interesting chat and who knows, Matt might even tempt you into taking up music production as an indoor hobby and it could be a way of you getting your meditation fix on those days where you can't get out into nature!

In this episode Bella Somerset explains how a three week hike in Costa Rica helped her back onto the straight and narrow.

In her school days Bella used to participate in many different sports and keep healthy but her interests soon changed in her teens. She found herself drinking, taking ecstacy, partying excessively and also had an eating problem. But then she stumbled upon hiking.

Since that hike in Costa Rica Bella's life has changed dramatically. She has hiked many times in Nepal, all over the UK amongst other places. She also has a couple of great business ventures which we delve into in the podcast and the links are also down below.

This really is a great episode to showcase how someone can turn their life around with the power of the outdoors. Enjoy!

In the first My Meditation episode ever Lyndsay Codner explains how her childhood hobby helped save her from suicide. From being in the darkest of places Lyndsay took a step back in time and dusted off the dancing shoes to guide her towards the light once again. Her meditation saved her life. Now she's as a happy and as fit as she's ever been. 

This really is an inspiring and positive episode.

Hello there folks and welcome to my new podcasting channel. I'm really excited to start this new venture and I'm even more excited to connect with my guests and you guys!

My name is Guy Cross and I'll be your host. This first episode explains exactly what the podcasts channel is about and what we aim to achieve. In a nutshell I will be interviewing outdoor lovers who have turned to a specific outdoor activity or indoor hobby as a way of helping with their mental health. A form of meditation. Their meditation.

Hopefully, after listening to some of these podcasts, you will find a certain activity or hobby that sounds interesting to you and could help you the same way it does for the guest that's being interviewed. Sometimes, hearing someone else's story and thoughts about a certain activity can give you a different outlook on it that you once didn't have and who knows, you might just end up loving it!

I really hope you enjoy this podcasting channel and I hope even more that you find something of value!

If you'd like to follow us on social media you will find us on Facebook and Instagram, we post inspiring photo's, videos and the like. W will also be keeping you up to date with anything new regarding future episodes etc.
