So I attempt to talk through my journey from no religion to Christianity and out and in again (like the Hokey Cokey but not Nearly as fun!) and where my spiritual path is/has taken me. TW: there is mention of lgbt phobia and some mild expletives

To celebrate Imbolc and Candlemas I have recorded a candle meditation. You will need a candle for this meditation (surprise surprise) and be in a quiet place. This is a particularly good meditation for hope in the darkness. Special thanks to Ant Nascè for his beautiful meditation music!

In this episode I explore the English tradition of the Apple Wassail. I look into the history and cover my own experiences of attending and holding my own wassail. We think about how a tradition like this could apply to our modern lives and I give you the tools to hold your own wassail should you choose to do one!

This is the same Grounding Meditation as below (or above!) but without the added ambient sounds. I made two versions of the episode to suit personal preferences. Some days I need silence with some words while other days I need more to help me so hope either help you in some way.

A guided meditation to bring you back to your body and help you to become grounded. Particularly potent for when you feel very “in your head.” This version has some ambient forest sounds in the background for the days when focusing and silence just isn’t working for you.

This week I make some kind of attempt to explain the differing depths of a spiritual path, religion or none. I use an analogy of a colour wheel and a list of different types of football fans that exist! It’s really a hash of ideas and a work in progress but wanted to share it to mark my own journey through the fascinating world of podcasting.

This is a selection of soundscapes I’ve recorded over the midwinter period. Sit back and listen to my audio diary and cultivate a sense of presence in the moment. Can you put yourself into these situations? Which sounds give your body a response?

This was my attempt at getting out my intentions for the podcast and where I want it to go!
