Recorded at the #whereismymind live podcast for the Dublin Podcast Festival in the Sugar Club on November 18th.

Meditation 6: Perspective meditation

This meditation is the final meditation in the series accompanying episode 6, and guided by Niall Breslin. The meditation is about recognising the journey we have been on together over the past six weeks, and about getting some valuable perspective on your life at this present moment. It reflects on how finding a way to see this zoomed out version of yourself in the middle of all the chaos can allow you find some peace... and realise how feckin deadly you are.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Meditation 5: The Lake Meditation

Meditation 5: The Lake Meditation

The lake meditation accompanies episode 5 of Where is my Mind. It is adapted from Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Lake Meditation, and guided by Niall Breslin. Like the mountain meditation, the lake meditation uses nature as a strong visualisation anchor that guides us to present moment awareness. The lakes surface can changes from day to day. It can be calm and clear then choppy and dark. Yet below the surface the lake remains the same. Cradled in the earths crust and teeming with life. A very useful meditation for those looking to find calm and peace.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
