This is part one of a three-part body-oriented meditation series, offering an accessible approach to meditation that invites you into the here and now through body awareness.

This short practice can be done seated or lying down in a way that is comfortable for you.

Demystifying Meditation - Part One

This 10 minute guided practice is part two of a 3-part body-oriented meditation series.

I guide this to be done while in a lying down position, whether that be on the floor - perhaps with a mat, rug or blanket under you - or on your bed/sofa. You may want to have a blanket and cushion to hand for comfort.

Body-oriented meditation invites you to become aware of experiences and sensations within your body and in its relationship to your surroundings, through a process of strategically placing your attention in different places and inquiring into what you notice.

This orients you towards what is actually here now, which can help your nervous system attune to what is safe and reliable.

Body-oriented meditation isn't from a particular school or lineage, but rather it's an approach to meditation that can be stand-alone or combined and blended with other approaches.

It is a Somatic approach - which essentially means to take account of your whole organism - and this can be very beneficial in a mind-dominated culture.

Demystifying Meditation - Part Two

This 15-minute body-oriented meditation is part three in the Demystifying Meditation Series.

You're invited to choose a comfortable seated position for this, which could be on a chair, sofa, bed or the floor.

Enjoy!
