How to conquer fear.

This is a led meditation practice, as taught at the City Lit and the West London Buddhist Centre.

I encountered this meditation for the first time when I was finding life a little stressful, and there is no doubt that it has helped me immensely since 2007. I would heartily recommend anyone to have a go.

You could start right now, but you might like to read this introduction that Jinananda once wrote:

The first thing is to find a quality of stillness.  It is possible to move or walk with this quality of stillness, but in this practice, you can start to develop it by being physically still.  You can move during the practice, but the invitation of the practice is not to fidget. 

If you need to, you can lie down to do the practice, but if you can, you should sit up, in a chair or on the floor, either kneeling astride cushions, or if sitting cross-legged, sitting high enough on cushions so that the knees are lower than the hips. 

The aim of the practice is to cultivate a concentrated appreciative attention to our moment-by-moment experience of the breathing process. 

There are four stages, or approaches, to the practice.  Each of these stages represents a slightly different way of being aware of the breath, of being aware of in the breath.  Starting with the easiest, and working towards the stage requiring the most delicate focus of concentration. 

Mindfulness is not about closing down or cutting off our thinking, it is not an exercise in fixing or forcing the attention.  It simply provides our thinking with something to come back to when it becomes aware of what it is doing. 

We are being mindful at the very moment that we realize that our mind has been all over the place.  Coming home to the breath, we are coming home to ourselves.  Without trying to stop the mind doing what it wants to do, we are centring the mind, settling it.

Enter into a state of deep conscious relaxation with yoga nidra (yogic sleep).  You will be guided to systematically draw your attention inward through your body, breath, sensations, feelings, thoughts until you settle into a peaceful resting state.
To practice, lie down on the floor and make yourself completely comfortable.
This practice was recorded live in class.

How to surrender to the wider intelligence of life.

Surrender Meditation

This is Alistair Appleton's guided meditation 'Polyvagal Tuning' based on the neuroscientific work of Stephen Porges. It's 25 minutes long.

Polyvagal Tuning

Reclaim your energy from the people and experiences that sabotage your personal power.

Your energy is as unique as your fingerprint and a precious part of your identity. When you disconnect from your authentic alignment you can attract toxic energy and become vulnerable to energy vampires (or become one yourself). But when you own your energy, you can raise your vibration, deflect negativity and reveal the best version of your life.
