In this short introduction your mediation host Lizzie Hawes will take you through how these meditations can help normalise stress or anxious moments, imposter syndrome or a loud inner critic, overbearing thoughts, difficulty in switching off, getting to sleep or anything else in this vein. These meditations can help you rebuild the trust and love you hold for yourself, so you can step forwards into a deeper, more content state of connected consciousness.
Introducing the Monkey Mind. Normalising the feelings of stress, or overwhelm, or simply over thinking. While meditation can help to space out the thoughts in the mind, they cannot remove thoughts entirely. Once we are comfortable with this idea, we can learn to embrace rather than simply accept.

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.”
Drop into a more mindful place, acknowledge how you’re really doing and learn how to use the healing nature of the breath to nourish your mental and physical body. A meditation to help you recharge.
