We’re drawing on the natural beauty in and around us, with a focus on finding strength and resilience—a meditation inspired by ATN listener Tracey. Surrounded by trees and wildlife, I’ve taken this meditation outside. If you’re able to find a natural space to join me, please send me photos so I can see where you’re meditating.

We’ve got longtime listener Dan to thank for today's theme. He’s been on a personal journey and has emailed me asking for a meditation on letting go and rearranging things in life. Complex things have been telling me to take a step back too, so let’s find a quiet space, relax our minds and bodies, and remain present in gratitude, in the now.

We’re making the most of public holidays in this meditation (inspired by the recent Memorial Day weekend in the U.S., and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in the UK). Wherever you are in the world, whatever state holidays are on the docket, it’s key to recognize the importance of taking time out. Let’s unite and make the most of these moments.

Sometimes we can all feel like a thousand thoughts are whizzing around our head. I had a message from a listener, Regina, saying that she isn’t sleeping well. She says even when she’s dozing, it still feels like her brain is thinking! Let’s clear and focus our thoughts to help clear a chaotic mind.

I want to help you manage stress and find calm in your life with this meditation. I had an email from a listener, Mia, who says she’s landed a new job and is feeling enormous self-expectation; she’s also terrified of not being enough.

This week I had a question from listener Zac who asked me how you cultivate a calm mind so that you can connect with gut feelings. Let’s help you distinguish between your head and your heart as we turn up the volume on your intuition. Close your eyes, sit up straight, get your hands in your lap and let’s do this together!

Those little butterfly feelings in your tummy, are they coming from anxiety or excitement? Anxiety and excitement: two words of similar sensation, plus perception, that we’ll ponder in this meditation. When we close our eyes, we begin to become even more aware of our thoughts. So, let’s sit calmly, release any tension, and breathe together.

We're focusing on finding yourself and reigniting your spirit, especially after a relationship breakdown. We all have obsessions and attachments that can be detrimental, but the way around them is to access a part of yourself that is beyond the normal network of beliefs. We begin with three deep breaths.
