In delving deeper into our meditation practice, it has to be understood that sitting with our own thoughts is a step towards sitting with a quiet mind. We must be able to allow thoughts to rise up and float away without engaging or attaching to them if we are going to eventually find a solid, silent meditation. I feel the benefits of guided meditation are so great but we need to start to flex the muscles of sitting in silence and observing what comes up for us. Watching how the brain reacts to silence is very informative - don't be annoyed with yourself if your monkey brain starts bouncing around in the space that is created! Simply watch it, and allow it, and keep letting go...

Welcome to this bonus episode! I have been working through a lot in my life over the last 6 months and so have not had the space to take on any new clients. But a recent visit to Glastonbury has reinvigorated me and reminded me that this heart centred work that I do is so valuable and that I am feeling ready and equipped to support and nurture more beautiful clients in this wonderful Journey work.
I hope that the episode gives you an idea of the benefits of the course plus the practicalities of it as well. I feel that there are most definitely questions that are unanswered here and so I invite you to book a Discovery Call with me to see if this is the right work for you. There is no obligation - it must feel right for you. I really look forward to meeting you and creating a relationship that will. nurture you through this next phase of your life and your development and growth. Remember, everything you need is already within you, we just need to believe it!

The Chakra Way Journey Relaunch!

This is a deeply grounding meditation where we use a beautiful soundtrack of British birdsong to bring us deep into this visualised meditation. Birdsong is a beautiful way to bring ourselves into a relaxed state. It goes back to very ancient programming of the human race because when there is a predator around birds don’t sing – so when we hear birdsong we innately know that we are in a safe place, that there are no predators around, that we can be in our rest and digest, parasympathetic nervous system. So there is a practical reason why listening to the birds chirping away is good for us – it is an amazing tool to have at our fingertips. 
I hope you enjoy!

Erin Copelan's book "Welcome to Caregiving - What Caregivers Never Talk About" is the theme of our chat today. After years of caring for her husband Erin realised that she had to work really hard on healing the trauma of being a carer. This is the type of trauma that creeps up on you - it's not a bang-slap-whallop type of trauma but an attritional trauma of years of having to be on high alert, of worry, of heartbreak and grief. Understanding what carers go through will help not only other carers, but those who know carers in how to support them. Please pass this episode to anyone you know who is a carer - it is such an extraordinary thing that millions of people do for others. You can find Erin at erincopelan.com

Chakra Chat - with Erin Copelan (Author and Caregiver)

Today we are going to use the beautiful, ancient, Polynesian meditation of Ho’oponopono. The word Ho’oponopono translates as “make things right” or “make things move back into balance”. In our practice today we are using Ho’oponopono to find freedom from the past, freedom from whatever it is that we use to torment ourselves, from guilt and from situations that have caused us pain. When we practice this mantra we are using it to rectify an error in our thoughts. This error arises as thoughts that are caused by a painful memory from the past or a judgement, projection, from anger and from negative self-talk. In other words we are clearing our karmic data. We do this by apologising and asking for forgiveness from a place of love. We do this by sending this intention deep within, to ourselves, to others and to a situation. As a tool for life this mantra can be used on the move! You don’t need to be in a meditative space to use this. When you have caught yourself in judgement or anger or frustration, or caught up in a negative thought pattern, this simple mantra can unwind the harmful thinking.
