  • Anxiety And You'll Be.. In A World of Pure Imagination
    Some thoughts on Willy Wonka and how anxiety drives thoughts.

    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look and you’ll see
    Into your imagination’

  • Thoughts Are Fantasy - The Mindfulness of Labelling Thoughts

    In mindfulness we can use the practice of labelling the different thoughts that pop up, for example; that’s a memory, that’s a plan, that’s a fantasy but really, isn’t everything that is not present fantasy? You can probably agree thoughts about the future are fantasy but what about memory..

  • Gary's Ayahuasca experiences and the 'just do it' energy for pushing ahead with ideas
    In this episode I'm very pleased to meet with my friend Gary who I met on an Ayahuasca retreat in March 2020 just before the world shutdown due to covid.
    We talk about his ceremony experiences, how the learnings helped give him a 'just do it' energy into his life, how he put his big ideas into practice, how he left his job, ended up merging 2 rival companies and then selling the new company.
    We also talk about integrating back into life after Ayahuasca, connecting with healthy masculinity, living in the present and changes in beliefs.

  • Metta Meditation - Use When Stuck Worrying & Trying to Solve A Problem Over And Over

    [Full journal post can be found here: www.chris-walton.com/journal/snowglobemettameditation]

    This loving kindness or Metta meditation is for when you find yourself stuck in frustrated problem solving and can’t move through.

    You were taught to solve. Maybe you were taught you could solve it.
    But the energy underneath the problem should not be solved it should be accepted.

    This meditation may involve strong emotions and asks us to find compassion for ourselves and those we may have difficulties with. Only listen when safe to do so.

  • Be Heard - An Audio Essay on Overthinking and Ruminating

    Thoughts have no distinguishing terrain.
    It is the emotions that give them relief (in a geography sense of the word).
    If you can hear them there’s power to be gained from accepting this energy is yours.
    This sets the scene. Following recordings will have options and solutions.

  • The Inner Critic and The Magician - Intro and Hypnotic Meditation

    [Hypnotic meditation begins at 1m50s]
    Calling it the inner critic adds even more judgement.
    Rather than fighting or trying to remove the inner critic, rename and repurpose that energy by seeing the Inner Critic as part of the inner guide or the Magician archetype.

    Only listen when safe to relax deeply. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.
