Today's episode of The Calm Edit Podcast is a little different my friend.

There's been so much heaviness, stress and distress in the world that it's hard not to carry it around with us 24/7.

One of my go-to's when things feel a bit much is meditation. With just a few minutes of mindful awareness, I can go from feeling completely overwhelmed to pretty zen.

And given its mental health awareness month, I thought the best gift I could give you is my very own gentle, guided meditation episode.

Feel your worries ease as I take you through breathing and a visualisation, and all to a soothing soundtrack. If you're in need of some calm right now, give the meditation a try. I promise you'll feel so much better by the end of it.

So please enjoy and let me know if this episode helps you over at thecalmedit.com.
