FREE MEDITATION

Guided Morning Meditation to start your day right with gratitude, affirmations and clear intentions. This is a ten min morning meditation I’ve recorded and am sending all my 1:1 clients. It sets you up for a good mood all day. Ideally do it before you even get out of bed and definitely before you check your phone in the morning... It is also great for a quick pick me up when you’re feeling low. Try and do it at least three times a week. Sounds great through headphones when you’re going for a walk too...

My daughter’s talented partner Tom composed the music exactly as I wanted it too.

So many people tell me they don’t know how to meditate. I was exactly the same until I started practising more and more. Even now, I shut my eyes sometimes and my mind just wanders.

It’s ok if you can’t focus. Listening to meditations like this, still sinks into your subconscious so that your conscious mind doesn’t even have to think about it. Intentions and affirmations can change your subconscious thoughts and drift into your real life with daily practice.

So why meditate?

There are many types of meditation;

- breathing meditations - focussed meditations - yoga meditations - activating meditations - transcendental meditations - mindfulness meditations - walking meditations - progressive muscle relaxation - mantra meditations..

They all work to relax the mind and body and especially the central nervous system.

How Does the Parasympathetic Nervous System Decrease Anxiety? The changes in the body when the sympathetic nervous system is activated take place very quickly.

Until the brain perceives that the danger has passed, it continues to release corticotropin and adrenocorticotropic hormones that keep the body on high alert and ready for intense physical activity.

Once the threat is over, cortisol levels decline and the parasympathetic nervous system slows the stress response by releasing hormones that relax the mind and body while inhibiting, or slowing, many of the high energy functions of the body.

Activating the Parasympathetic Nervous System to Decrease Anxiety

When the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, it produces a calm and relaxed feeling in the mind and body. People can learn to trigger their parasympathetic nervous system to immediately reduce their sense of anxiety and stress. This also lifts their mood, strengthens their immune system, and reduces their blood pressure.

There are many techniques that a person can use to strengthen and activate their parasympathetic nervous system, causing a relaxation response in their body. For example:

* Spend time in nature * Get a massage * Practice meditation * Deep abdominal breathing from the diaphragm * Repetitive prayer * Focus on a word that is soothing such as calm or peace * Play with animals or children * Practice yoga, chi kung, or tai chi * Exercise * Try progressive relaxation * Do something you enjoy, such as a favourite hobby *

A Few More Ways to Activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System

Gently Touch Your Lips

Your lips have parasympathetic fibres spread throughout them, so touching them activates the parasympathetic nervous system. Take one or two fingers and lightly run them over your lips.

Be Mindful – Don’t Multitask

Try not to multitask and be mindful of what you are doing.

Korean Zen master Seung Sahn liked to tell his students, “When reading, only read. When eating, only eat. When thinking, only think.”

Use Visualisation

Use visualisation and imagery to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Picture yourself in a peaceful place that you love. It could be the ocean at sunset, a mountain stream, a beautiful lush forest, a secluded beach, a field of wildflowers, or any place you enjoy and feel relaxed. Use all your senses as you visualise the place in this imagery. Hear the sounds of the waves, feel the breeze on your face, and smell the scent of the flowers. You’ll feel relaxed in no time at all.

Enjoy ✨✨
