This is the third in a series of mindfulness podcasts. This one is a loving kindness meditation which will guide you to increase compassion in your life.

 

Spring a time of renewal. Rebirth. A sacred turning point. A time of listening to the birds, and watching new buds growing. Perhaps this is the time to review where you are and where you want to be. Maybe you set some goals in the beginning of the year. Are you satisfied with the way things are? Are you in alignment: body, mind and spirit? Spring brings the potential of new life. What new things do you want to bring into your life? What follows is a podcast with some guided imagery to help you to welcome spring.

 

This is a guided body scan to allow you to notice sensations in the body. This is a useful stress management technique.

 

This is the first in a series of free mindfulness podcasts. In this podcast, you will easily learn how to pay attention to your breath – the first step in learning mindfulness practice. This is a simple practice, though simple may not be easy. It is a matter of remembering to come back to the breath. The mind naturally wanders off and we mindfully bring it back to the object of attention.
