This short 3 Step Breathing Space is to be used throughout the day whenever you remember to do it. There is no need to use this  guidance once you get the hang of the 3 steps: 1. Noticing how am I right now, what thoughts, emotions and body sensations are here right now, 2, Narrowing the focus of attention to the breath, 3, Expanding the awareness of the attention from the breath out to the whole body. And then returning to whatever you were doing.

Mindfulness - Welcome to first in 14 part series of short 1-4 minute videos introducing different parts of mindfulness, mindful self compassion and positive neuroplasticity

Mindfulness Series - Episode 1 - Introduction

We can't stop the mind wandering, but when we notice it has wandered we can use the anchor of the breath to come back to the present moment with a friendly attitude towards ourselves and the wandering mind.

Mindfulness Series - Episode 2 - Wandering Mind

Can we step out of Autopilot a little more and open up to the moments of our lives! According to Harvard research, we are not present up to 47% of the time, that means we are missing half of our lives due to mind wandering and automatic pilot. By learning to come to this present moment through the anchors of the breath, body or senses, we are being present to more of the moments of our lives.

Mindfulness Series - Episode 3 - Autopilot

This is a guided meditation allowing us to reconnect with the body, with a sense of curiosity to whatever is arising from moment to moment. Hope you find this helpful!

Mindfulness Series - Episode 6 - Bodyscan - Guided Meditation

Mindfulness Series - Episode 7 - Attitudes Of Mindfulness - Inner Critic

A 2 minute practice to support us in difficult moments Really resourcing! This Self Compassion Break is from Dr Kristin Neff's Mindful Self Compassion program. Step 1, Acknowledge this is a moment of difficulty, Step 2,  The Common Humanity 'I am not alone, we all have moments like this'', Step 3. Offer some friendly phrases to yourself that feel authentic 'I am okay, I am safe, I am a good person....'

Mindfulness Series - Episode 8 - Self Compassion Break

The Sounds are another gateway into the present moment. Sometimes the breath can feel a little too activating or uncomfortable as a present moment anchor, especially if we are feeling anxious, therefore the sounds can be a much safer way to anchor our present moment experience.  Give it a try! Opening up to the sounds as if this was the first time you had the gift of hearing!

Mindfulness Series - Episode 10 - Sounds

Mindfulness Series - Episode 9 - The Breath

Starting to become aware that we are more than our thoughts, sometimes thoughts are very helpful, but sometimes when we notice the inner critic is strong these thoughts are not so helpful - they can even perpetuate a low mood! Developing the ability to place our attention on the breath, body, sounds or senses can be so helpful when we notice our attention is hi-jacked by familiar unhelpful thinking patterns

Mindfulness Series - Episode 11 - Thoughts

In this series on mindfulness, we have been practicing using the anchors of the breath, body and senses to come back to over and over again. When we have developed a little concentration and awareness to do this, we can start Turning Towards what is here a little more - noticing how are we feeling? How is the body feeling?

Mindfulness Series - Episode 13 - Stress - Turning Towards
