Sometimes a gentle hug and some loving- kindness is everything we need to feel okay again. This sweet, light and deeply tender meditation offers you a way of giving and receiving gentle hugs from the loving universe and from those you especially need to feel held by right now. The meditation itself is a flow of gentle hugs, to get right to the parts of you that are craving that most.

Gentle Hugs Meditation

When I was young, I loved a book I had called "Favourite Poems to Read Aloud". I can still remember snuggling down to sleep with my mother reading from that blissful book. There's something about poetry that is engaging, rhythmic, hypnotic and deeply relaxing and comforting. Tonight, maybe your child, your inner child or you yourself would like to be gently read to sleep? I've chosen poems which are especially cosy and dreamy.

Self Kindness Practice

This is a compassionate and embodied affirmation to support you in your healing journey, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. Remember that each of us is on a healing journey -  healing and renewal are part of the natural rhythms of life. You are not damaged or broken and inside your healing journey there is magic you may not yet recognise. The affirmation is "I Am Healing and Good Things are Coming". Let your body melt into these truths and be comforted , supported and empowered.

Affirmation Meditation:  I Am Healing And Good Things Are Coming

Do you know how loved you are? Sometimes we forget and we may feel lost and empty. Here is your reminder, in an affirmation meditation which invites you to truly soak up, feel and embody the love you know and then pay it forward. You are so very loved.

I Am Loved

This is a practice for claiming and asserting your boundaries. we can end up saying "yes" to things we really feel are a "no" for our health and happiness and capacity to be there for others in meaningful ways. This is a useful practice for when you feel you might be getting into that habit...for grounding back into your intuition and sensing of your boundaries - finding your genuine "yes" - and claiming that.

Update From Alison

Sometimes we feel a lot of pressure upon us that makes us feel we have to keep going, no matter what. When we are having feelings like this, our muscles can get tight and our breathing rapid, and up in our chest. Our wise body is giving us guidance to, literally, "take a breather" while our minds might be telling us "You haven't done enough to earn that break". Yes, you have. Every day, you do your best. This is a beautiful breath-regulating meditation, with exactly that reminder.

"I am Doing My Best" (Calm for Overwhelm or Not-Enoughness)

My version of the Five Finger Relaxation technique, which I learned from the field of Psychology-Informed Mindfulness and is proven to reduce stress and bring about feelings of deep wellbeing. It's a brilliant little practice because once you have learned it, all it takes is a few minutes and the fingers of one hand. It can be done anywhere, and whenever you need a boost. The practice involves touching each finger to your thumb as you bring to mind a specific memory and feeling. Give it a go!
