A bit from me about my work - My driving passion and purpose is to make everyone aware that experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and a whole range of negative emotions is about being human and a lack or gap in our education leaves us powerless to work with ourselves to achieve our best experience of successfully being human. All my work and writing looks to address this gap in our education so a successful rather than stressful life becomes a real choice for all of us.
This podcast is a place for you to access the extensive library of mindfulness based meditations some very short and a some longer but all designed to help you fit them into your life to meet your needs. My meditations, tools and techniques combine mindfulness and the neuroscience to support you through stress, anxiety and the challenges of modern day life.
My latest project is my 'Creating Space Method'. Its Core Philosophy is 'Creating space within experience, not escaping it'. This practice is not about removing thoughts or feelings, or stepping away from them. It is about making room for them, so they can be experienced without taking over. “This is here… and you are here… and there is space around it.”
Core Intention of Creating Space
To create space so there is room for being human—
without being dragged down by thoughts, emotions, feelings or pressure.
