When you listen to the hypnotherapy session you will be safely guided into a very deep state of mental and physical relaxation, beyond the ego state, and then given multiple post-hypnotic suggestions to develop a strong feeling of self-esteem and confidence.

Build Your Self-Esteem (Awake)

Healing requires the acceptance of all our human emotions - including the uncomfortable and even painful. This meditation provides guidance in the meeting, honouring and processing of grief and sadness. Mindful breath by mindful breath we can integrate sadness, transform and heal.

Process & Integrate Grief & Sadness

This is a great meditation to bring the grounding, calming and feminine energies of mother earth. In a world full of masculine energy this practice will help bring balance and harmony to your body. 

Energy Exchange with Mother Earth

Beginning day seven by looking more closely at posture, and why it is significant in sitting meditations. Also exploring how counting or noting the breath can help to keep the mind connected to the sensations of the breath. The recording contains plenty of guidance for beginners. 
This is the seventh recording in a series intended for anyone who is new to mindfulness meditations, but also useful to people who might have struggled to engage with meditation practices in the past. Day by day you will become more familiar with different aspects of mindfulness meditations and exercises, and soon you’ll be comfortable to guide yourself in meditation, rather than just listening to recordings. Even though these meditations are presented as a sequence, you may like to repeat or return to some of the recordings, I would simply recommend that you don’t jump ahead, as you may miss some useful content. 



Day Seven Meditation

This grounding and settling meditation is meant to help bring about a deep sense of relaxation, presence and connectedness to the body. When you feel ungrounded, scattered or overwhelmed, the easiest way to get out of your head is to get into your body.

Be in Your Body

This is a Loving Kindness practice for parents - to help you give love and compassion to yourself and to your dear ones. This is the antidote to habitual negative thoughts and built-up anger. 


Loving Kindness Practice for Parents

Shhh breathing for ease is a pranayama practice to learn to make a gentle, smooth, steady sound with the out breath. This can invite ease in the physical body and the mind. The breath becomes a bridge between the body and the mind. Notice how extending the out breath can support the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system to rest, repair & digest. 
Enjoy your ongoing practice and this can be a great practice when tension and stress is building in the body heart & mind. 
Thank you for meditating with me today.
Love and blessings

Shhh Breathing for Ease

This meditation invites you to learn skills to deal with feelings of overwhelm and release any tensions from the body and mind.

Manage Overwhelm

We tend to judge ourselves and others very harshly. I invite you to join me for this short meditation to quiet the judgements.

A Judgmental Mind Meditation

We often take life like it is.
Do our things we usually do....But what if we have to miss someone unexpectedly...what if life just changes in ones....what if we didn't express our self to our loved ones, friends, family...
Learn from this moment...and heal.
In memory of Gert-Jan



Life Can  Change Unexpectedly....

A really valuable practice that can reveal a great deal about how our minds work: Labelling, making judgments, creating stories, clinging to pleasant things and turning away from whatever it judges to be unpleasant. This may be why, in some traditions, Mindfulness of Sound is given almost the same prominence as Mindfulness of Breath. Note that the intention here is to be open to whatever sounds are present in the moment, rather than choosing a sound we like, such as music. Sounds of nature, sounds of a busy city, industrial noise, children playing, or even an air conditioning unit, all are perfect backdrops for this practice, none better than the other. Once you have some experience with the practice, perhaps you might choose to deliberately bring it to more challenging sounds, such as a neighbour’s car alarm, this can often be when the greatest transformations occur. 

Mindfulness of Sound - 15mins

Through these uncertain times some of us may be feeling anxious, fearful or lonely. This loving-kindness meditation helps us to feel connected, safe and hopeful (even from a distance).

Thank you for listening and practicing with me today.
Best wishes

The Sacred Pause

Even in a short meditation we can be reminded how to connect with the freedom that lies within us, available at any time. 

Letting Go into Freedom

Surrender to Deep Sleep 🌛

It’s time to stop the scrolling, watching and clicking,




And let your brain release from the constant flow of information.




Let your energy come inward,




Away from the photos, emails, posts or shows that are keeping you awake.




It’s time to put down your phone, beautiful, 




And come to sleep. 




Put Down Your Phone and Come to Sleep Meditation

Helping Parents Cope with Sleep Deprivation

It’s time to chill, mama. 

To pause. 

To take a deep breath and recenter yourself. 

Because you’re mommying hard and right now...

It’s too much. 

Maybe you found yourself yelling at those around you

Perhaps you’ve said unkind words to yourself or others

Maybe you just feel completely undone after taking on yet another parenting responsibility. 

Whatever it is, you need a time out. 

So the intention of this meditation is to give you a sanctuary...a special space where you can let go of all the responsibilities, frustrations, high charged emotions…

And just BE. 

So you can get back to center and live the rest of your day in a peaceful, joyful flow.
