We all experience nightmares from time to time, either during stressful periods in our life that usually incorporate change. It's important to recognize that this is normal and not to be overwhelmed by them. A nightmare can cause a lot of the hormone cortisol to be released which can make you feel stressed or agitated throughout the day. This Meditation focuses on bringing down our physiology to its base level and allowing to mind to refocus and realize that the situation has now passed and we are now safe. Nightmares can also be very useful information streams, the unconscious trying to inform us of something, but we are not able to interpret these messages unless we come from a place of peace and rationality. Sometimes we experience nightmares for unknown reasons and that's okay too - sometimes the lesson can just be to let go and not to get caught up in too much introspection. Regardless, what's important is that we use these experiences for our benefit and to not let them ruin our day. This Meditation is devised to bring peace and let you know that you're not alone in this experience. We all want deep peace and we can all have it at times if we put in the correct action. I hope this is helpful to you and I wish you a good night sleep and a peaceful day.

Anger is a difficult emotion to be consumed by. This Meditation is a practice of letting go of these emotions. Firstly we recognise how they feel physically and emotionally. Then we use tools of visualization and transformation to change the physical and psychological reaction to the situation. If you want to come home to a place of peace, then give it a listen. Carry this practice with you throughout the day to find that centered place in your mind. This Meditation can help with periods of depression and also can act as a tool for grief. If you're encountering these emotions on a constant basis, talking to a professional can be really helpful. This Meditation is a tool. Use all the tools avalible at your disposal to lead a happy and free life.

The body scan is one of the most effective ways to begin a mindfulness meditation practice. The purpose is to tune in to your body—to reconnect to your physical self—and notice any sensations you're feeling without judgement. While many people find the body scan relaxing, relaxation is not the primary goal. We deepen our relationship with our body and ourselves by practicing awareness of our physiology and the connection with our pyschology.
Loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity are rigorous meditation practices, used for the most part to cultivate one-pointed concentrated attention, out of which the powers of these evoked qualities emerge, transfiguring the heart. Just naming these qualities of heart explicitly and making their role explicit in our practice may help us to recognize them when they arise spontaneously during mindfulness practice. As well as to incline the heart and mind in that direction more frequently, especially in difficult times. These practices, and in particular loving kindness, can often serve very practically as a necessary and skillful antidote to mind states such as ferocious rage, which may, at the time of their arising, be simply too strong to attend to via direct observation unless ones practice is very developed. At such times formal loving-kindness practice can function to soften one’s relationship to such overwhelmingly afflictive mind states, so that we can avoid succumbing completely to their energies. It makes them more approachable and it makes them less intractable. But with practice direct observation itself, on its own, becomes the embodiment of loving-kindness and compassion all by itself, and is capable of embracing any mindstate, however afflictive are toxic. And in the seeing of it and the knowing of it—in open-hearted non-reactive, non-judgemental presence—we can see into the nature of the anger or grief for whatever it is. And in the seeing, in the embracing of it, in the knowing of it, as we have seen, it attenuates, weakens, evaporates, very much like touching a soap bubble or like writing on water. What emerges in such moments is nothing less than loving-kindness itself arising naturally from extended silence, without any invitation because it’s never not already here.
