COURSE
As We Start The Day
With Reuben Lowe
This is a short meditation course designed for setting intention in the morning. It focuses on five key personal qualities that we have the capacity for enriching. Each day follows the same structure. We start with an introduction to settle us in, a simple practice to get grounded as we melt into the moment. Then we get to explore the quality of the day. We do this by visiting the waves. Waves have a wisdom to them. And these waves that lap away whilst you practice, will speak directly to you about this particular quality. This gently leads on to some affirmations associated with the wisdom from the waves. Finally, we end with a gentle gesture in how this quality could be brought into your day. This course has been made so you can repeat it if necessary. It’s also been designed so that you may get something different from it each time you practice. Thank you for taking part in this. Thank you for being part of the change.

More talking than I had expected. There was a moment where he’s scanning your body to relax with ocean waves, which is great. That would be a good time after to be silent and let the waves take over. But he kept talking all the way through.

I enjoyed this course as it opened my mind to rethink how I go through my day. I will listen to this again to hear what I did not hear the first time.

What a beautiful course Reuben! The time, love and energy you put in to creating this for us comes through loud and clear 💕 I love the ‘wisdom of the waves’ and I looked forward to listening to each lesson. I’ll listen to this course again since I was busy writing down your astute thoughts about acceptance and forgiveness the first time. Thank you 🙏 😊

So much wisdom and easy-to-grasp and implement nuggets in this manageable 5-day course. Reuben’s voice and gentle manner have always been a balm, and to gain such insight into ways to start our day (or any time of day) to set it on a positive, peace-making, gentle course is priceless.

For anyone looking for guidance and comfort in starting their day. Reuben's voice is reassuring calming and caring and makes you feel not alone.He gives you the tools needed to navigate your day and so much of the content resonates with me and helps me with my anxiety and thoughts and the positive energy and affirmations help me begin my day with hope and joy.

One of the best comprehensive courses I have gone through.Wonderful affirmations packaged excellently through well structured doses of music,body scan,going with the waves,setting up intentions mindfully.Phrases like 'As we start the day' and ' I notice..' by repetition help carry forward through the day as remindful actions.Overall will love to make this my daily practice as it really helped bring changes in my moments through the day.Thank and Namaste.
