How do you make sense of your place in the grand scheme of things - the world and the universe? Many different ancient cultures have given us cosmological maps in drawings, rituals, sacred sites and sequences of sound that can help us feel at home in the cosmos. Helen shares her thoughts, inspired by what she has learned from Vedic cosmology over the years. She mentions the book The Yoga of Sound by Russill Paul. She closes by playing a piece of improvised music inspired by the Shabda mantra Asato Ma Sadgamaya.
Mel Eden is an experienced counsellor, mentor and mindfulness therapist specialising in anxiety and depression. In her unusual approach, she supports clients within nature. In our chat she explains how this works and the many benefits to experiencing outdoor counselling sessions.
