Pause, Reflect, Restore (10 Minutes)
It’s that time of the year where we need to slow down, but many of us are still so busy that it is difficult to stop, look around, and notice the beauty all around us. There is a calming energy in beauty and wonder.  Pause, gently relax, to draw love and light from our deep core-self to open to our inner reserves. Even a ten minute break to be calm and refreshed could make all the difference to how our year draws to a close.

Learning to respect one another is often a challenge, particularly in our current times of uncertainty. It is, however, a vital step towards treating each other with loving kindness. 
This meditation is designed to take you into that deep space where you can tap those unseen energies within. It is from here that you will find the resilience to spread and share that much-needed love with humanity.

​In these, uncertain times, there is a need to stay grounded, to stay strong, and to create a deeper connection with the Earth. It is also an opportunity to connect with ourselves (our whole self, body, mind, and our elusive core self). This meditation may help you as you breathe, to relax, open and deepen your sense of who you are, coming home to freedom, harmony and balance. Our resilient self.

“Slow down, you move too fast!”
You’ve probably heard these words before. But as you sit in your meditation, just let the words wash over you. You really don’t need to do anything, to experience anything except stillness. The words are only there to guide you, to draw you away from the (crazy) world we live in. So slow down, be still, and see your world as beautiful and amazing!

We really are amazing people. It may not feel like that sometimes and that maybe because we do not care for ourselves, really care. Our strength and resilience is within us, untapped and waiting. Take a few minutes to separate yourself from what is happening in your life. Be kind to yourself, feel safe and supported in the stillness. To do this on a regular basis will help to heal and to nurture you in body mind and spirit. 

​Have we lost our song, our sense of purpose?
Our inner the world reflects the world around us, so if we have lost our song then this affects the entire outer world. We need to climb out of the darkness we have created within us and find the light again. Create times of stillness. Let the song emerge. Rewrite the lyrics, sing a new song, and bring the love and light back to ourselves and to the world. 

Meditation is a doorway to peace and quietness. By sitting still and focusing on the breath, the mind begins to slow down, letting go of restless thoughts. Each ‘in’ breath brings calm, each ‘out’ breath releases tension. Even a few minutes can create space between you and the noise of daily life. Over time, meditation trains awareness, helping you notice thoughts without being carried away by them. It is not about emptying the mind completely, but about resting gently in the present moment. In stillness, the heart softens, the body relaxes, and a deep sense of inner peace arises naturally.

Feeling a bit stuck lately? Not sure where life is going? Sometimes we give up and lock ourselves in. We resist change and find it difficult to adapt. This leaves us exposed, because as life continues on its path, we may feel very left behind. To adapt means to go with the flow. Take time to step back, be still and let that inner guidance support and strengthen you. Know in your deep self that you are truly loved, regardless. Be still and know.

​We fluctuate between abundance and scarcity. Outside influences pull us into a glass-half-empty shape, as we focus on what we haven’t got. It is very subtle. 
To turn this around, we can begin to change our attitude from one of scarcity to one of abundance. 
Create some time to step back and be quiet.  In the quiet, focus and appreciate what you have, starting with the breath, the rhythm of life. 
See the breath as an energy source. Be a glass-half-full!

 People often ask what to do when the mind keeps wandering in meditation. I could say use the breath in the mantra, which, of course are useful tools. 
But it can be much simpler than that. Just being silent and still helps you to free yourself from trying too hard. Relax and be calm. Breathe in a little stillness.
Let the guided meditation create a space behind the thoughts. Relax and float on the breath. Be patient. It may take time to trust and open to the love within.
