Guided Meditation Library

My approach to meditation is very gentle, warm and low-pressure. I encourage people to explore practices that genuinely feel nourishing, enjoyable and supportive for their unique nervous system. That is why this library includes a variety of different meditation styles - from simple grounding resets to more expansive inner journeys - allowing you to discover what feels most alive and restorative for you each day.

When we’re under stress, it can be difficult to respond the way we truly want to. Meditation helps create gentle pauses in our thinking and reactivity, strengthening our capacity to regulate emotions, return to the present and choose our responses consciously.

Position

There is no perfect way to experience these meditations. Traditional meditation practices often place emphasis on sitting upright, cross-legged and remaining still, which can be beautiful and powerful. At the same time, many modern bodies and nervous systems may benefit from reclining or lying down, especially as much of daily life already involves sitting.

You’re welcome to get creative and find a position that feels good for your body whilst keeping the spine relatively straight and the body fairly symmetrical. You might like to lie flat on the floor with a pillow under your knees, recline back on cushions, rest in a reclining chair or curl up on the couch with pillows — just not while driving.

Technique

The foundation of meditation is simply noticing when the mind has wandered and softly returning back to an anchor point.

My voice and invitations simply create an anchor point for you to gently return your thoughts back to.

It’s very normal for your mind to wander - even every second - and to completely forget you are meditating while thinking about other things. The most important part is the quality at which you bring your attention back: kindly, softly and continuously.

Stillness

Stillness can help settle the nervous system, so if possible, I’d encourage gently breathing through moments of agitation or restlessness and seeing if your body can soften and settle.

At the same time, if your position feels generally uncomfortable or frustrating, please move and adjust. This may be particularly relevant for neurodivergent people and wriggly bodies and minds.

Alert or asleep?

You don’t need to remain perfectly alert. If you fall asleep, that is completely okay. Often it simply means you needed a nap. I regularly use guided meditations for naps and to fall asleep myself, especially during restless nights.

Regular Practice

To experience the full benefits of meditation, a daily practice is widely recommended, even if it’s just a minimum of two minutes. The earlier in the day, the better.

Make its yours

In saying that, please use these meditations in whatever way feels most nourishing and restorative to you.

The deepening of my meditation practice began in a very unusual way when I was 23 years old and travelling alone through Thailand.

Whilst staying in Bangkok, a monk in full beautiful saffron robes came into a travel agency I’d been visiting regularly and asked the clerk in Thai if I would come and stay with the nuns at the monastery because he had seen something in me. No one spoke English and it was not a place for Westerners, but I packed my bags and went with him on the bus to the monastery.

I lived alongside the nuns there for three weeks, sleeping on a wooden bench, waking around 3am for meditation and learning extensive chants, which they eventually had me perform in front of the whole monastery. It was all very surreal and fascinating.

By coincidence, a week later, I travelled to another monastery deep in the jungle, which I had mistakenly thought was more of a retreat centre for Westerners, but again, no one spoke English and an elderly nun simply beckoned me to follow her and I ended up staying with her for another three weeks.

I lived alongside her as she did. We slept on the wooden floor with a wooden block as a pillow, woke very early for walking and cooking meditation and sitting meditation deep into the evening. Without language, she simply showed me how she lived.

Since then, I have practised and studied many different meditation styles from ancient to modern. In my mid twenties, meditation became an essential cornerstone to my complete recovery from anxiety/depression & panic attack disorder. Now in my 40’s it is an enjoyable staple in my mental health maintanance.

Over the years I’ve realised that different meditations work for me on different days and in different moods, which is why I’ve created a variety of meditation practices for you with flexibility around how to go about them. This approach supports my particular neurotype, which is AuDHD. I enjoy structure and variety equally, and I also hope this will suit many overstimulated modern minds.

These days, most days, I’ll do a focused meditation morning, afternoon and night, anywhere from two minutes to an hour. I’m often in a meditative state for much of the day, simply bringing my awareness gently back to an anchor point like my heart, my breathe or a phrase.

You absolutely do not have to be as diehard with it as I am. I encourage you to meditate how you like & as often & for as long as feels nice to you.

I hope your journey with meditation brings as much peace, acceptance and joy as it has brought for me and to many others for many thousands of years.

“Starseed” is an esoteric philosophy that some souls incarnated on Earth may have originated or experienced previous lifetimes in other realms, planets or star systems before coming here.

Many people who resonate with starseed philosophy describe themselves as feeling spiritually old, highly sensitive, deeply intuitive or as though they have spent much of life searching for a sense of home or belonging.

Some people connect with this philosophy very deeply and literally, while others enjoy it in a more playful, symbolic or imaginative way. You absolutely do not need to believe in starseeds to enjoy these meditations.

The starseed meditations within this library are designed to be beautiful, calming and expansive nervous system journeys. The realms I have chosen to explore are very yin, high-vibrational and soothing in feeling, offering a mixture of grounding, wonder, emotional warmth and imaginative escape.

You may simply enjoy them as dreamy meditative stories, or you may find yourself having strong emotional or visceral responses to particular realms. Some people experience a surprising feeling of familiarity, longing or “coming home” during certain journeys. If that happens, you are very welcome to reach out. I am absolutely open to exploring possible starseed origins, soul themes and energetic resonances within a gentle and affirming Akashic Reading.

I personally resonate with many different starseed realms and tend to approach the whole philosophy with curiosity, openness and lightness rather than rigid belief. For me, these meditations are ultimately about nervous system restoration, imagination, spiritual exploration and reconnecting with our innate & human sense of beauty, wonder and belonging.
