A broad awareness practice, to help us be with the whole of our present moment experience

Be with Open Awareness

Feeling a little overwhelmed, or stuck?  Use these three steps of awareness to create just enough space to make a decision about next steps

Three-Step Being Space

We don't often deliberately pay attention to the sounds around and within us, allowing ourselves to experience the full richness of our aural environment - and so, that is the invitation for this practice.

Being with Sound


This core practice helps us to use the flow of breath and the movement of the body as we breath to maintain present moment awareness.

Be with Breath

This calming practice helps us connect with and build awareness of our body, as well as training our attention as we continually focus and re-focus throughout the scan.  This practice can be done lying down, as well as sitting or standing.

Body Scan


This calming practice helps us connect with and build awareness of our body, as well as training our attention as we continually focus and re-focus throughout the scan.  This practice can be done lying down, as well as sitting or standing.

Developing an attitude of friendliness towards ourselves can help us deal more effectively and realistically with the challenges of daily life.  And, if we are able to cultivate this attitude towards our self, we're much more likely to offer the same attitude to others, and in so doing improve our relationships. This practice is a great way to start the day.

Befriending and Self-Compassion

Without awareness, it’s easy to spend quality time focused on the challenges of life, far more than what is good.  This meditation invites us spend a few minutes with something great in our lives!  In so doing, help us to improve our ability to pay attention to the pleasant moments in our day.
