The main purpose of this post is to give you a free Christmas MP3 meditation…over 10 minutes, of meditation, designed to give you a boost over the Christmas season, whenever you need it.
But I know that I also have to grovel again, having not posted for ages, due to the effects of work off the Web (and more recently, LSS and I both going down with the “lurgie”). Many apologies that this has taken so long . And yes, the blog will be back properly after Christmas.
Anyway, enough of that, and onto your present.
People talk about peace, goodwill and love at this time of year, but tensions can rise, and put them in short supply. So this MP3 meditation is designed to help you replenish them and feel good.
Enjoy, and if you like it, feel free to share it.

And in any event, please have the happiest of Christmases.
More soon

Meditation: An Ultra-Simple Tip? November 15, 2007

Do you ever find yourself wanting to meditate (or even just find time to relax) but feeling unable to do so because, “There just isn’t time and I’m too busy”.
If this is the case, you’re not alone. It happens to lots of us, given the speed of the world, and despite being a coach and supposedly knowing better, I have to put my hand up and ‘fess up to having this problem sometimes as well.
But help is at hand
The good news is, there’s an easy, simple and free way to overcome this problem, that I discovered by accident, but have begun to use more and more.
Whenever you next have this problem, just do the following.
1. Sit down.
2. Take a series of regular breaths, preferably where your in-breath, outbreath and pause between each in ans out phase of breath is roughly equal. So for example, you might breath in for a count of a particular number, pause for a count of the same number, breath out for a count of that number, and pause before the next breath for a count of the same number. The trick is also to do this just until you feel relaxed, which should only take three or four cycles of this at most.
(As to how long your count should be, or indeed, whether this exact sequence will be right for you as an individual…I can’t comment, but can only leave you to decide this for yourself.Only choose to do what feels comfortable for you as an individual. Some people will want a count of three or four, I happen to like six, and some people might even want eight. Or to make the count different for different phases of the breath. Or to breathe in a different way that suits their health and ability. Consult someone who knows your medical history, if in doubt).
The point of this phase is simply that you have a means of breathing and concentrating on it that works for you.
3. This third stage of actually meditating, then magically takes care of itself. Having persuaded yourself to sit down and do the breathing, “because after all, it’s only a few breaths and therefore a minute or so”, you’re then suddenly in a state where meditation seems a much more feasible and attractive idea, whether you carry on with breathwork, or any other type of meditation that you care to name.
Do try this, and check out how it goes for you. As a way to get round your conscious and “busy” mind, it may be one of the simplest tricks yet that actually works.
Hope this helps

This Meditation is Amazing… March 15, 2007

Picture the scene. I’m cranky and out-of sorts, due to a poor night’s sleep. Into my inbox plops a free qigong meditation (seated, with no jumping around). And fifteen minutes later, I feel not just restored, but better than for ages…with a profound desire to share this with you.
I suspect that the download (almost inevitably) is supposed to lead to some more bells and whistles of the paid variety in due course. And I can’t say anything about that, because I haven’t tried it and know nothing about it.
But I can say that this current 15 minute miracle is free, and seems downloadable until at least this Sunday.
If you’d like to download it, you’ll need to register, but that’s free too:

Hope this helps you too!

Which do you want first-the good news or the bad news?
And I guess, according to whatever you chose we should consider that at length in a blog by itself.
Briefly though, the bad news is that I’ve been rushing around and neglecting the blog.
The good news is though, that you gain…I’m so horrified that I haven’t been posting quite so much, it seems only fair to give everyone a gift.
I originally made this download for a friend, but she was adamant it was of a high enough standard for public release, so (despite my protestations about,”still learning how to edit out whistles and pops”) here goes.
You can find it, for the time being, at:
http://www.selfworks.net/wellbeingmeditation.mp3
and I’m shortly going to put it into the GoodyBag members’ area too, for good.
As ever, bear in mind that you need to use this only whenyou can relax completely, and it shouldn’t replace any kind of professional help.
Other than that-enjoy! Hope it helps
More soon (the blog is likely to be scanty until around the beginning of next week, and then back to normal).
