guided meditation

For me, meditation is time to pause. Not pause for thought, but just to pause. When describing it I like to compare my brain with a house. When I start, all the lights are on, the TV, radio, Alexa and Siri are all making noise, kids are tearing up the place and a muddy dog is running loopy round the house. In a guided meditation, the guide can help talk things down bit by bit - get a babysitter to take the kids out, clean the dog and settle it in bed, turn the electronics off and then slowly but surely turn the lights off one by one. Then you are left to settle and be in the quiet, and be in the now. With the aid of specific music to help the moment I can be me for 20 or 40 minutes. Then with help from the guide I can softly dim the lights back on to a level that's far more comfortable, ground myself, feel the floor and safely be back and ready to carry on my day. An immense amount of calm can stay with me for some time afterwards.

Here it means we chat together at the start to discover how you practice meditation already, discuss safely your current lifestyle along with any challenges you have or general noise you wish to quieten and what level of guidance you require during the meditation, e.g. how much interaction and grounding you require. We can then chat through improvements to practice if helpful.

No, my guidance is for people who already meditate (beginner or experienced) who are looking for some help refining their practice, some structure, timekeeping, intention setting and proper grounding following their session. You are the expert in what feels right to you, I am with you for support.
