The Jesus Prayer Meditation (Part 2): Resting in Mercy
7 juni 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you deeper into the ancient contemplative practice known as the Jesus Prayer. Lees meer
Building on the first step of resting in the sacred name, this meditation explores how the name itself can become a source of compassion, mercy, peace and healing.
Within the Christian contemplative tradition, invoking the name of Jesus is understood not simply as repeating a word, but as opening ourselves to the presence, story and love carried within that name.
We begin by grounding ourselves in the body and breath, allowing tension and stress to soften as awareness deepens. From here, the meditation gradually introduces the rhythm of praying the sacred name in harmony with the breath.
As the practice unfolds, the prayer becomes more personal and spacious, allowing you to unite the sacred name with the particular quality or grace you most need in this moment, whether that is peace, mercy, compassion, help or healing.
The meditation becomes a gentle practice of invocation, presence and surrender, rooted in stillness and supported by the rhythm of the breath.
This meditation offers a moment of calm and spiritual grounding, helping you cultivate peace, compassion and contemplative awareness.
This meditation supports contemplative prayer, breath awareness and emotional healing.

Meditation for Anxiety: Finding Calm Through the Senses
6 juni 2026 · 13 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a practice designed especially for moments of anxiety and stress. Lees meer
At times of anxiety, it can become difficult to settle into stillness or even to use the breath as a reliable anchor, as the breath itself is often affected by stress and emotional tension.
This meditation introduces an alternative approach, using the senses as anchors for awareness and calm.
We begin by grounding ourselves gently in the body and the present moment before moving through practices of touch, smell, taste and hearing.
Rather than trying to fight anxiety or force calmness, the meditation encourages you to reconnect with the simple immediacy of sensory experience, allowing awareness to become steadier and more spacious.
Through conscious attention to physical sensation and sound, the practice offers a practical way to remain grounded even during difficult emotional moments.
The meditation gently reminds us that calm and presence remain accessible, even when the mind feels unsettled.
This meditation offers support during stressful or anxious periods, helping you cultivate grounding, calm and emotional steadiness.
This meditation supports anxiety relief, grounding and sensory awareness.

5 juni 2026 · 11 min

We begin by grounding ourselves in the body and breath, allowing the present moment to become a place of stability and peace. From here, the meditation gently opens into self-reflection, inviting you to notice areas of life where greater honesty, integrity or reconciliation may be needed.
As the practice deepens, the breath becomes a rhythm of transformation, breathing in light, truth and awareness, while breathing out falsehood, tension and disconnection.

Lectio Divina Meditation: The Lord Is Compassion and Love
4 juni 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through the ancient contemplative practice of Lectio Divina, using the phrase: “The Lord is compassion and love.” Lees meer
Lectio Divina is a meditative way of dwelling deeply with a sacred phrase or spiritual text, allowing its meaning to unfold gradually within the heart, mind and body.
We begin by grounding ourselves in stillness, breath and bodily awareness, creating space to receive the words not only intellectually, but contemplatively.
As the meditation deepens, the phrase becomes a point of reflection and awareness, inviting you to explore your own experiences of compassion and love, the times you have received them, the times they were absent, and the moments when you yourself were called to embody them.
Rather than analysing or judging these experiences, the practice encourages openness, honesty and gentle awareness.
The meditation becomes an invitation to recognise compassion and love not simply as emotions, but as qualities woven deeply into the spiritual life and into our relationships with others and ourselves.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are seeking peace, reflection or spiritual grounding, helping you cultivate awareness, compassion and contemplative presence.

Sunrise and Sunset Meditation: Gratitude for the Gift of Each Day
3 juni 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a contemplative reflection on sunrise and sunset, two moments long honoured within the meditative and monastic traditions. Lees meer
Across centuries, dawn and dusk have been recognised as sacred thresholds within the rhythm of the day, moments that invite stillness, awareness and gratitude.
We begin by grounding ourselves in the body and the breath, allowing the nervous system to settle into calm and presence. From here, the meditation gently opens into a reflection on the experience of sunrise and sunset, and how easily these daily gifts can pass unnoticed.
As the practice deepens, you are invited to consider the finite nature of life, recognising that each of us experiences only a limited number of mornings and evenings.
Rather than creating fear or sadness, this awareness becomes an invitation to live more consciously, to notice more deeply and to receive each day with gratitude and openness.
Through breath awareness and reflection, the meditation encourages a fuller appreciation of the present moment and the beauty woven through ordinary life.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are beginning your day, ending it or pausing to reflect, helping you cultivate gratitude, perspective and peaceful awareness.
This meditation supports mindfulness, gratitude and contemplative reflection.

Meditation Master: St. Clare and the Inner Mirror
2 juni 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a contemplative practice inspired by St. Clare of Assisi, co-founder of the Franciscan tradition and one of its great spiritual teachers. Lees meer
St. Clare taught that beneath the constant movement of thoughts, emotions and sensations, there exists within us a deeper stillness, a place capable of reflecting divine presence like a mirror.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, grounding ourselves in the present moment through gentle awareness of posture, touch and sensation.
As the meditation deepens, attention turns towards the centre of the breath, the quiet still point between inhalation and exhalation, where peace, awareness and presence can be encountered.
Rather than suppressing thoughts or emotions, this practice invites you to stand back from them gently, allowing them to move freely without becoming caught up in them.
Anchored in the breath, you are guided to rest in a deeper awareness of yourself as held in love, connected to peace and grounded in stillness.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or seeking a deeper contemplative practice, helping you cultivate peace, awareness and inner steadiness.

Recovering the Form: Returning to the Foundations of Meditation
1 juni 2026 · 14 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a return to the foundational practice of recovering the form, a simple and steady way of entering meditation. Lees meer
This practice is designed both for those beginning meditation and for those returning to it after time away. By strengthening awareness of the body, breath and posture, we create a more stable foundation for deeper meditative awareness.
We begin by entering meditation deliberately, using ritual and intention to mark this time as distinct and sacred. From here, awareness turns gently towards posture, grounding and the rhythm of the breath.
Through simple body awareness and breath visualisation, you are invited to release tension and settle into greater calm and ease.
As the meditation deepens, attention moves beyond the body and thoughts towards a quieter centre of awareness, a place of stillness and peace that exists beneath the movement of thought and emotion.
This practice becomes a reminder that centred awareness is always available beneath the changing experiences of daily life.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are restarting your practice or simply pausing during the day, helping you feel grounded, steady and deeply at peace.

Meditation on Birds: Lessons in Lightness, Joy and Presence
31 mei 2026 · 10 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a deeply Franciscan reflection on the lessons we can learn from birds. Lees meer
Drawing on the ancient idea that each creature belongs naturally to a particular element, this practice explores the relationship between birds and the element of air, and what their freedom, movement and lightness can teach us about our own lives.
We begin by grounding ourselves in the body and the breath, becoming aware of the weight and physicality of our human form. From here, the meditation opens into a gentle visualisation of a bird in flight.
As you contemplate the bird moving effortlessly through the air, you are invited to notice a growing sense of inner lightness, freedom and joy within yourself.
The meditation becomes an invitation to reflect on your own gifts, your own nature and the unique “element” you are called to inhabit through mind, heart and soul.
Through gratitude, imagination and awareness, this practice encourages a more joyful and spacious relationship with yourself and the wider living world.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or seeking perspective and lightness, helping you cultivate gratitude, joy and inner freedom.

Sky Meditation: Observing Thoughts and Emotions with Awareness
30 mei 2026 · 10 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a practice of observing the “inner sky”, the constantly changing landscape of thoughts, emotions and impressions within us. Lees meer
Drawing on the image of the sky and weather, this meditation invites you to recognise that while your inner experience is always shifting, there is also a deeper place of stable awareness that can observe these changes with peace and clarity.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to anchor gently in the present moment. From here, the meditation opens into a visualisation of the inner sky, where thoughts, emotions and impressions pass like clouds overhead.
Rather than becoming caught in these experiences, you are invited simply to notice them and let them go, recognising that they do not define you.
The practice encourages a more spacious relationship with the mind and emotions, grounded in breath awareness and calm observation.
As the meditation deepens, you are guided to remain anchored in the breath while allowing the changing “weather” of the inner world to rise and fall naturally.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate emotional balance, awareness and inner peace.

Breath Awareness Meditation: Understanding Breath and Emotion
29 mei 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you into a deeper awareness of the relationship between breath and emotion. Lees meer
We begin by returning to one of the most foundational anchors of meditation, the breath, noticing not only how we breathe, but how different emotional states shape the pattern of the breath itself.
As the practice unfolds, you are invited to observe how stress, tension and emotion can influence the body and breathing, often without us fully noticing.
Through gentle awareness and reflection, the meditation becomes a simple experiment: first noticing how stressful memories affect the breath, and then learning how conscious breathing can help steady the body and mind, even while difficult memories are present.
Rather than allowing emotion to dictate the breath, the practice invites the breath to become an anchor of calm, stability and equanimity.
This is not about suppressing feelings, but about learning how awareness of the breath can create greater steadiness and freedom within emotional experience.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate emotional balance, calm and resilience.
This meditation supports breath awareness, emotional regulation and stress relief.

This tradition has been used for centuries as a way of drawing attention inward, helping the mind settle and the heart become more present and aware.
We begin by grounding ourselves in the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen gradually. From here, the meditation gently introduces the practice of resting with the name of Jesus, not as an idea to analyse, but as a sound and presence to dwell with.
The repetition of the name becomes a simple point of focus, helping attention gather and settle into stillness.
While rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition, this meditation is offered as an open practice of presence and peace, accessible to people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Progressive Relaxation Meditation: Tensing and Releasing the Body
27 mei 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a simple practice of noticing, tensing and relaxing different parts of the body. Lees meer
Many of us carry tension without fully realising it. This practice helps bring gentle awareness to the body, allowing stress and tightness to become more visible and easier to release.
We begin by settling into stillness and checking in with ourselves, before gradually moving awareness through the body as though shining a torchlight on each area.
From here, the meditation gently introduces cycles of tension and release, beginning with the feet and moving upward through the body.
As each area softens, the breath becomes a way of releasing held tension, helping the body settle into a deeper state of relaxation and ease.
This is not about forcing the body to relax, but about becoming aware of what it is holding and allowing it to soften naturally.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or preparing for sleep, helping you feel lighter, calmer and more physically at ease.

This is described as a place of stillness, clarity and deep peace, untouched by distraction or disturbance.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen. From here, the meditation gently draws attention inward, moving through the layers of experience, body, breath and thought, towards a quieter centre.
As the practice unfolds, you are invited to rest in a point of stillness within the breath, a place of balance and presence.
From here, the meditation opens into an awareness of a deeper centre, a place often described as the meeting point of stillness and awareness, where a sense of peace and connection can be experienced.
This is not something to grasp or analyse, but something to rest in, allowing a sense of calm and presence to emerge naturally.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you experience stillness, clarity and a deeper sense of connection.

In this meditation, I introduce a new series on Metanoia, a Greek word meaning “a turning towards truth,” a transformation of awareness through reflection and presence. Lees meer
This first step explores the practice of the Examen, a gentle way of reviewing your day with honesty, clarity and openness.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen. From here, you are invited to look back over your day, not with judgement, but as an observer, watching the events unfold as if on a screen.
Through this reflection, you are guided to notice what stood out, the moments that brought positivity, and the areas that felt more difficult or challenging.
The practice then invites a simple question: what can be learned? How can you hold onto what was good, and gently let go of what was not?
This is not about criticism or perfection, but about awareness, allowing each day to become a place of growth and understanding.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or reflecting in the evening, helping you develop clarity, perspective and a deeper sense of presence.

21 mei 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a reflective practice designed to deepen empathy, using a simple visualisation of clouds. Lees meer
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to become steady and calm. From here, the meditation gently opens into a visualisation of the sky, where thoughts and experiences appear like clouds passing by.
You are invited to reflect on words you have spoken, both positive and negative, and to consider how they may have been received by others.
Without judgement or justification, the practice encourages a quiet awareness of impact, helping you see more clearly how your words shape the experience of others.
The meditation then turns inward, reflecting on words spoken to you, both kind and hurtful, and noticing the emotional response that arises.
Through this process, a deeper sense of empathy and understanding begins to develop, grounded in awareness rather than reaction.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate empathy, awareness and more conscious communication.
This meditation supports empathy, reflection and emotional awareness.

We begin by settling into the breath, allowing awareness to deepen and the body to soften. From here, the practice gently invites you to consider what it means to choose joy, even in the midst of ordinary or challenging circumstances.

Compassion Meditation: Cultivating Compassion and Mercy
12 mei 2026 · 13 min
In this meditation, I guide you into a simple practice of cultivating compassion and mercy, two qualities that lie at the heart of a loving and open way of being. Lees meer
We begin by reflecting on the meaning of these qualities. Compassion as the willingness to be present to suffering, in ourselves and in others, and mercy as the ability to move through the world with an open and generous heart, even in difficulty.
As the body settles and the breath deepens, you are invited to become aware of subtle sensations, allowing stress and tension to soften.
From here, the practice opens into a deeper awareness of compassion, first within yourself, and then extending outward to others. You are guided to gently hold areas of difficulty or hurt with kindness, rather than resistance.

In this meditation, I guide you through the final part of St. Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures, reflecting on what he calls “Sister Death.” Lees meer
Rather than approaching death with fear alone, this meditation invites a gentler and more contemplative perspective, recognising mortality as part of the shared experience of being human.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen into stillness. From here, the meditation reflects on the closing verses of the Canticle, where St. Francis speaks of death not as an enemy, but as a companion within the wider mystery of life.
Through gentle reflection, you are invited to consider how awareness of mortality can deepen appreciation for life, encouraging us to live more fully, more lovingly and more consciously.
The practice also opens into gratitude for those who have gone before us, recognising the enduring power of love, compassion and connection.
This is not a meditation of fear or sadness, but one of perspective, intimacy and peace, holding life and death together within a wider sense of meaning.

Meditation on the Soul (Part 2): The Animal Soul
8 mei 2026 · 13 min
In this meditation, I guide you through the second part of a series exploring the different aspects of the soul, focusing on what is traditionally called the animal soul. Lees meer
Building on the previous reflection on the vegetative soul, which relates to basic life and survival, this practice turns to the realm of desire, the impulses and motivations that shape how we act and respond.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen. From here, you are invited to gently observe the desires that move within you, without judgement.
The meditation explores both the positive desires that draw us towards growth, happiness and connection, and the more difficult desires that can lead us towards distraction, excess or imbalance.
Rather than seeing these as opposing forces, the practice invites a deeper understanding, recognising that all desire has its origin in something good.
Through this awareness, you are guided to consider how you might cultivate what is life-giving, while gently letting go of what no longer serves you.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you develop clarity, balance and a deeper understanding of your inner life.

Lectio Divina, meaning “divine reading,” invites us to listen deeply to a phrase, allowing it to speak to us beyond surface meaning.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath, creating a space of stillness and calm. From here, the phrase is introduced gently, and you are invited to receive it with openness.
As the meditation deepens, you are guided to allow the words to rest within you, noticing how they resonate and what they awaken.
Rather than analysing the phrase, the practice becomes one of presence, allowing the words to soften into stillness, supported by the rhythm of the breath.
A quiet sense of trust and steadiness begins to emerge, grounded in the recognition that beneath our experience, there is a deeper foundation of peace and love.

Love Meditation: Generating Compassion and Connection
6 mei 2026 · 13 min
In this meditation, I guide you into a simple practice of generating love, not as a reaction, but as a conscious choice. Lees meer
We begin by reflecting on how love is often experienced as something that arises in response to others. In meditation, however, we are invited to recognise love as something we can cultivate intentionally, a way of being rather than simply a feeling.
As the body settles and the breath deepens, you are invited to rest in a sense of presence and awareness. From here, the practice gently opens into an exploration of love, first recognising that we are already held in love, and then extending that awareness outward.
You are guided to bring to mind those you love, before considering what it might mean to extend a loving attitude even towards those who have caused difficulty, and towards the parts of yourself that carry hurt.
This is not about forcing emotion, but about opening to the possibility of love as a steady, chosen presence.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate compassion, connection and a deeper sense of inner peace.
This meditation supports compassion, emotional healing and loving awareness.

Blue Sky Meditation: Observing Thoughts Without Attachment
5 mei 2026 · 12 min
In this meditation, I guide you through a simple visualisation known as the blue sky meditation, a way of understanding your inner experience with greater clarity and ease. Lees meer
We begin by settling into the breath, allowing the body to relax and awareness to stabilise. From here, you are invited to imagine a wide, open blue sky.
As the meditation unfolds, different forms of “weather” appear, clouds, changes in light, gentle rain, each representing thoughts, emotions and passing experiences.
Rather than becoming caught in these changes, you are invited to observe them, recognising that while the weather shifts, the sky itself remains unchanged.
In the same way, your thoughts and emotions move and change, but there is a deeper awareness beneath them that remains steady and open.
This practice offers a simple and powerful way to relate to your inner world, not by controlling it, but by observing it with calm and clarity.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you feel more spacious, steady and at ease.

Visualisation Meditation: Expanding Perspective (Step 5)
4 mei 2026 · 13 min
In this visualisation meditation, I guide you into the next step of reflecting on the truth of your being, expanding your awareness beyond the immediate self into a wider perspective. Lees meer
This is part of an ongoing series, drawing together the earlier steps and inviting you to see your life within a much larger context.
We begin by settling into the body and the breath. From here, the meditation gently invites you to step back and observe yourself, before gradually widening your awareness, from the room you are in, to the wider world around you.
As the perspective expands further, you are guided to reflect on your place within the earth, the wider universe and beyond, recognising a deeper sense of connection and scale.
This is not about losing yourself, but about seeing more clearly, recognising both your place within the whole and the sense of being held within something greater.
As the meditation returns you gently to the present moment, a quieter awareness of perspective, presence and connection remains.
This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you develop perspective, awareness and a deeper sense of connection.

Meditation Master: The Cloud of Unknowing (Part 3) Bringing It Together
2 mei 2026 · 10 min
In this meditation, I bring together the key elements of The Cloud of Unknowing, completing a three-part exploration of this classic contemplative teaching. Lees meer
Building on the earlier practices of letting go and using a simple word, this meditation invites you to combine both approaches into one steady, grounded practice.
We begin by settling into the breath, allowing awareness to stabilise in the present moment. From here, you are gently reminded that thoughts cannot be stopped, but they do not need to be followed.
As awareness deepens, a simple word, such as “peace”, is introduced, helping to gather attention and support a quieter, more focused presence.
The practice then simplifies further, resting in the breath, allowing both thoughts and the word to fall away naturally, leaving a sense of stillness and openness.

We begin by reflecting on the importance of thankfulness, not just for specific things, but as a way of seeing and engaging with life. Gratitude becomes a way of creating space for awareness, helping us recognise what we receive each day.

This awareness gradually deepens into a quiet sense of appreciation, not forced, but gently recognised.
The meditation then moves towards the simple act of saying grace, not just over food, but over life itself, acknowledging what is given and received.

We begin by settling into good posture and becoming aware of the breath, noticing details such as the coolness of the air as it enters the nose and the gentle expansion of the chest.
