Lesson 1

Hello To Our Hands: Grounding Through Pendulating Awareness

This session introduces the soothing practice of pendulating awareness, where we use our hands as anchors. This gentle somatic exercise helps us reconnect with our bodies and foster present-moment awareness. Focusing on the sensations in our hands can serve to regulate the nervous system and soothe any heightened states of arousal or stress. By shedding feelings of disconnectedness, we'll cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, fostering a grounded and centered state of being.

Lesson 2

Brief Body Scan: Calling Ourselves Back

In this session, we explore the practice of a brief body scan to reconnect with our body and return to the present moment. This guided exercise will help you become aware of bodily sensations and enhance our mind-body connection, especially if you often experience the “floating head syndrome.” By regularly practising the body scan, you can reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.

Left, Right, Breath: A Mindful Moment During The Day

Taking conscious breaks is essential for mental well-being, and this practice helps anchor you and prevents overwhelm. By bringing your attention to your left foot, then your right foot, and taking a deep breath, you can regain focus, reduce stress, and cultivate a sense of calm.

We’ll delve into the calming practice of soft belly breathing in this lesson.

Lesson 5

Cultivating Gratitude: Your Key To Better Mood And Well-being

In this final session, we’ll explore the power of gratitude and its benefits. Practising gratitude stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Additionally, it improves sleep and strengthens social connections. We'll discuss practical ways to incorporate gratitude into daily life, such as keeping a gratitude journal and savouring small moments throughout the day. We’ll conclude with a guided gratitude meditation. By making this practice a part of your routine, you can unlock a sense of fulfilment and overall wholesomeness.

Lovely! The meditations were quite active and hands on, which was very helpful in keeping me engaged, as I struggle a lot to retain my attention. They were also fairly unique or novel (generally), so I’m happy to have learned some new mindfulness exercises to play with. Thank you!
