These live recording are from the 4 session mindfulness drop in sessions delivered as an online series  in June and July 2020.
Each 1 hour session  focused on one practice and, after briefly outlining the practice, it is done twice: the first as a 'test drive', the second with less guidance. 
We are planning another series in the Autumn of 2020: please sign up to our emailed newsletter here if you want to receive details on this course (we only send a few out each year and never pass details on): www.integratedmindfulness.com/newsletter

All the tracks can be downloaded: this can be better as SoundCloud will auto-play the next track. 

Week 1: Mindful Muscle Release
I have uploaded two previously recorded versions of this for variety (these are the 12 minute tracks: one has some background wave sounds). There is also the audio recording of the first session: I have broken it up so the 2 versions of the practice, each about 15 minutes, can be listened to individually.

Week 2: Compassionate Awareness: being on your own side

Week 3: Unhooking from what's bothering you
A linked handout to week 3 is available here:

Week 4: Broadening Awareness: in parallel with week 3, another way of cultivating our capacity to hold what we are experiencing in a bigger frame of awareness.

Mindfulness Meditation Webinar with Tim Duerden

In this follow-up to the million-copy bestseller Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World, Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman reunite to show readers how to use the hidden foundations of mindfulness to rediscover calm and reclaim your life in our chaotic world.

Use the hidden foundations of mindfulness to rediscover calm and reclaim your life in our chaotic world

There are moments in life that decide your fate. They ripple into the future and dictate how you experience the world in the moments that follow; either positive and uplifting, dark and chaotic, or flat and dull.

What if you could recognise these moments before they seized control of your life? What if you could use them to set sail for a better future? What if all moments, big and small, could be harnessed this way?

In Deeper Mindfulness, Oxford Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman reunite to present a new eight-week guided meditation programme that takes mindfulness to the next level. Deeper Mindfulness reveals how the latest advances in neuroscience, combined with millennia old wisdom, can be used to transform your life. These discoveries open the doors to a deeper layer of mindfulness known as the 'feeling tone'. This sets the 'background colour' that tinges your entire experience of life. It is also the tipping point from which you can reclaim your life in an increasingly stressful and chaotic world.

Proven effective at treating anxiety, stress and depression, the practices in Deeper Mindfulness offer a new and more fruitful direction for both novice and experienced meditators. It also allows the rest of us to approach life with renewed strength, vigour and equanimity.

Deeper Mindfulness by Mark Williams and Danny Penman, read by Mark Williams (Audiobook extract)

A 40 minute variation on a body scan that invites awareness of muscle movement and easing and loosening around active or tight muscles. 
This is a  'field reconding' (a great term for a raw recording from a workshop so has noises along with the spontaneous  guidance).

Body Scan - 40 minutes moving & loosening (field recording)

White Noise Water Sounds - Waves & Underwater

Soothing Sounds of the Sea - Anti Stress & Deep Sleep Nature Sound

These are mindful movement practices that combine 2 simple movements of your feet and 2 simple movements of your hands with a sweep through your body where you invite your muscles to loosen if they wish to.

The recordings include live recordings so the quality is not as good: there is a version with ocean waves in the background that is 12 minutes for the practice and then has just the waves for another 10 minutes. 

The 4 movements (each repeated 4 times) are:
1.	Breathing in, bring your toes up towards your head, keeping your heels in contact with the floor or what you are lying on. Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your feet and legs, and how your muscles are working. These sensations could include sensations of contact, movement, weight, temperature, the feel of the pull of gravity, the degree of muscle activity, or awareness of the changing positions of your feet and legs.  Then, breathing out, release the muscles that were moving your toes and feet, as you allow your feet to return to rest.  Notice, Focus in to your feet. Moving as little or as much as you want to and is comfortable:
2.	Breathing in, bring your toes down and away from your head. If you are sitting do this by keeping your toes on the floor and raising your heels. If you are lying down, do this by keeping your heels in contact with the floor or what you are lying on and pointing your toes away. Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your feet and legs, and how your muscles are working. Then, breathing out, release the muscles that were active, as you allow your feet to return to rest. Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your feet and legs, and how your muscles respond, releasing tension or holding on.
3.	Breathing in, clench your fingers into your hands leaving your thumbs out to the side, so making a sort of ‘thumbs up’ shape, however your hands are positioned. Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your hands and arms, and how your muscles are working. Then, breathing out, release the muscles that were moving your fingers, as you allow your hands and arms to return to rest.  Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your hands and arms, and how your muscles respond, releasing tension or holding on.
4.	Breathing in, spread your fingers and thumbs apart, making stars. Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your hands and arms, and how your muscles are working. Then, breathing out, release the muscles that were moving your fingers, as you allow your hands and arms to return to rest.  Notice, as you do this, the changing sensations in your hands and arms, and how your muscles respond, releasing tension or holding on.

Week 2: Compassion for Others and Yourself - being on your own side.
This week we explored cultivating a sense of compassion for others and how it is to then offer this to yourself: often a very difficult thing to do.  Around this we explored a steadying practice, 'sitting strong', as an important practice to soothe your system before and after compassion focused practices and, for many, a helpful practice in its own right.
