This is the first episode in Series 2 of the You-Ni-Verse podcast. I offer you a guided affirmations meditation, with background music by yours truly. This is designed to be listened to first thing in the morning - maybe lying down in bed before you are fully awake, to set you up for a joy filled happy day :). Sounds good? 

Episode 13 of the You-Ni-Verse podcast where I speak about being with your emotions and not pushing them away. I discuss some of the techniques I use for being with what is, and how meditation can help us to stay with challenging emotional states. In between I mention the Ink Spots, the Persian poet Rumi and the Tao Te Ching as aids to this practice.

This episode, number 12 in the first of the You-Ni-Verse series, discusses jealousy. I look at the underlying emotions and then I talk about my approach to flipping the switch on jealousy so that you are able to celebrate the blessings and the successes of friends and colleagues. This then helps plant and nurture the seeds in you to help manifest the things that you want to happen for yourself. I end this episode with a mantra style song, Om Namah Shivaya, from the Shaivism spiritual lineage from India that is based on Oneness or Unity consciousness.

So, after last week's episode on Anxiety and Panic attacks as possibly a wake up call from your higher self to you, to let you know that something has go to change, I wanted to continue on this week on the same theme as I have more to say on it. I talk about how there is never 'something wrong with you', regardless of what mental health professionals or family members say. Life - in the form of emotional disturbances or physical ailments, is always nudging us closer to our true selves and our true path.

What is anxiety, for you? Is it just a horrible mind state that you want to get rid of as soon as possible, or does it perhaps have a deeper message for you? In this, Episode 10 of the You-Ni-Verse podcast, I discuss everyday 'worry mind' anxiety and some ways to mitigate and manage it (and hopefully reduce it) and then also intense anxiety like panic attacks, and what they might mean for you. It's probably not what you think it is!

Episode 9 of the You-Ni-Verse podcast where I speak about how our connection with our own feelings is our 100% foolproof internal navigation system, but how, thanks to the programming many of us received in childhood, we may be disconnected with our own feelings. In this episode I share some ways to reconnect, and also to use our feelings to guide us to clear communication and boundary setting with others.

This is episode 8 of Series 1 of the You-Ni-Verse podcast. In this episode I discuss the quote from Donald Winnicott: "Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide". How do we deal with these conflicting desires in a self-accepting and self-loving way, and manage to keep showing up in life and sharing our truth and our gifts? Hint: Buddhist philosophy can help a lot with unravelling this question!

This episode is about how we need to receive our own gifts for ourselves first, before we are able to share them with others. First we receive our own gifts, and then we share from our full cup. I talk about how we do this 'receiving of ourselves' through a couple of different processes - inner dialogue and creativity. And at the end I share one of my songs, Breathe in My Sunshine. 

This episode is about the concept that there is not just one 'self' but rather multiple. These different selves we have can include sub personalities like the perfectionist, the obsessive compulsive, the healer and then also the inner child as well as the parts of ourselves that are connected up with our unique talents. I start out with the poem 'Now I become myself' by May Sarton.

In this episode, I take you through a guided meditation on Mindfulness of the Body - the first of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness from the Buddhist tradition. This is a meditation from the Vipassana (Buddhist Insight Meditation) which helps you develop a healthy relationship with your body, and especially it's great for healing things like eating disorders and addictions.
