The worries and distractions of our lives fragment our minds in many different directions, resulting in anxiety and stress. A side effect of this is that we don't see the world as it really is, creating more suffering. This episode talks about how by calming our mind, we can reflect the world as it is, gaining insight and compassion for others.

All of us feel sad at one time or another - but how to do we accept these difficult feelings without them overwhelming us? In this episode, we discuss Thich Nhat Hanh's metaphor of the mud and the lotus and how we can use mindfulness to transform our sadness by sitting and listening to it rather than shutting it out. Includes a 20 minute guided meditation.

When was the last time you let your creative side out? In this episode I chat to mindfulness teacher Dr Lauri Bower, cofounder of York Sangha and The Creative Space. I've learned a great deal about the practice of mindfulness from Lauri since meeting her in 2016 and we got to catch up during a weekend retreat in Lytham.
We talk about how Lauri started meditating at an early age, her favourite ways to practice and how creativity can unlock a peaceful and happy life. We also talk about the "Be Calm, Be Happy" course she runs which is now available worldwide via Zoom.

Its great to find a quiet place and meditate on your own - but there are huge benefits to practicing mindfulness with others. In this episode I discuss "sangha" - a community or group of people who practice together. Belonging to a sangha can help you to develop your mindfulness practice and offers great support in difficult times. The episode includes a shared calm, ease guided meditation - and an optional singalong at the end!

All of us feel at times as if we could earn more, be better parents, have more successful relationships - but we don't need to be anything more than we are. Much of our suffering is driven by desire - we can live happier, calmer lives by letting go of our desires and being present in the moment with what we feel.

Could you feel compassion for your enemy? Its not easy of course - we may prefer to feel anger towards those who we believe are unkind to us or others. We may also feel that our anger is helpful and motivates us to act. Thich Nhat Hanh tells us that to "love our enemy is impossible. The moment we understand our enemy,we feel compassion and he or she is no longer our enemy." As difficult as it seems, attempting to understand our enemies allows us to release our anger - while still being motivated to make the world a better place.

All of us are afraid of something - but that doesn't have to limit us. If you're keen to overcome your fear / phobia, whether that's social anxiety, flying or enclosed spaces, you can take steps towards your goal by practicing mindfulness regularly, visualising your fear and giving yourself permission to feel anxious before letting go.
