Show notes

Feeling weighed down by grief, overthinking, or a world that doesn't feel fair – and still needing to sleep? This **guided sleep meditation** is for you.

Calm Your Nervous System: Guided Meditation for Calm, Anxiety Relief & Sleep Nervous System Reset May 25, 2026

Show notes

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted?

This gentle, trauma-informed guided meditation is here to help you **calm your nervous system**, **soften anxiety**, and **rest into "safe enough"

– exactly as you are. In this session, we move slowly and kindly through:

- Soothing breathwork** to settle your body and mind

- A **slow, permissive body scan** (with full choice to skip or linger)

- A soft **chakra check-in** with imagery and affirmations

- A **nervous system reset** to support regulation from the inside out

- **Butterfly tapping** (self-hug) for comfort and self-soothing

- Repeated core affirmations to anchor safety, self-compassion, and presence There are **no rules and no pressure** here. You don't have to "get it right." You can **sit or lie down**, keep your eyes open or closed, follow the suggestions or gently adapt them. Your way is the right way. Let these words remind you: I am safe enough to soften.

My pace is wise and loving. I create peace within the storm. I am seen, I am heard, I am here.

Forest Path Guided Sleep Meditation Let Go of the Day and Go to Sleep Deeply Guided Sleep Meditation Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

Hi lovely, This morning Adrian and I were up at 3:30am to go to the gym, and the world felt a bit other‑worldly. There was this beautiful mist over the mountains – you could see the dark shapes of all the mountains, and the mist just floated above them in this soft, ethereal way. It was honestly a bit magical. ooooh lovely! We went to the gym, then I started work, and I've been feeling quite excited about this new course I'm creating. I keep thinking about you and how I can write and record things that really land for you – that feel real and useful in your actual, everyday life. Also, a lot of you have asked, so: Marcy is doing better – thank you for thinking of her and thank you for all the well wishes we appreciate it. 💗 --- A new video, free content, and a free worksheet for you Right now we're focusing on the **Forest Path** resources. There's a **free Forest Path worksheet** here for you, and I'd really like you to make use of it. It's designed to sit alongside the Forest Path sleep meditation: helping you notice where you're holding tension, name the "bags" you've been carrying through the day, and put a few of them down before sleep. Free Forest Path Worksheet You can access the free Forest Path worksheet here: 👉 **lauren-ostrowski-fenton-s-school.teachable.com/p/forest-path-guided-sleep-meditation-let-go-of-the-day-and-go-to-sleep-deeply-mini-worksheet** Please don't miss out on the free worksheet – it's there for you to actually use, not just to sit quietly on a page somewhere. --- Counselling My counselling sessions are filling up fairly quickly at the moment. If you've been thinking about booking in, now's a good time to grab a spot while there's still room.($60 USD) Counselling with Lauren You can book a counselling session with me here: 👉 https://laurenostrowskifenton.simplyb... --- New Course: Rest, Rise and Rejuvenate I'm in the final stages of a new course called Rest, Rise and Rejuvenate. It's all about giving your nervous system a reset, so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more at home in your body. We'll use simple movement and gentle practices to help you feel stronger and more empowered in yourself, especially if you've been through loss or big changes in life. The focus is on supporting you to rest deeply, rise in your own time, and gradually shape the future you want, step by step. I'll let you know as soon as it's live. --- Woops!! About links & access In the last worksheet, I slipped up and **didn't make the Google link public**, so a few of you may have had trouble accessing it. If you can't open anything – worksheets, audio, links – please let me know so I can fix it. You can always reach me at: laurenostrowskifenton@gmail.com Feedback & a gentle reminder If you've got any feedback – what's useful, what's not, what you'd like to see more of – I'm all ears. Look after yourself, go gently, and take things one step at a time. Lauren 💗 PS this is Mum Puss

Safe Harbor Sleep Meditation: I Am the Harbor- Dealing with emotion at night Guided sleep meditation Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

Hey lovely human 🌊

I've been thinking of you and wondering how you're really doing. Life can be really hard sometimes, and if that's you right now, I just want you to know you're not alone.

Some of you know that I've recently started a new full-time job as a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner. It's meaningful work and it's been taking a lot of my time and energy, but even on the busiest days, I still find myself thinking about you, this community, and what you might be going through.

As I'm writing this, my cats are eating nearby and it feels like such an ordinary, quiet moment — and I'm hoping you're finding little safe moments like that too. If not, I'd love to help you create some. 💙

I've created a free Safe Harbor mini course. and a free Safe Harbor worksheet to support you when things feel overwhelming, especially at night or when emotions feel big.

The *Safe Harbor worksheet* gently invites you to:

- Check in with how you're feeling

- Soften just a little around whatever you're holding

- Feel a bit more grounded, safe, and steady inside

✨ Download the free Safe Harbor worksheet here:

and here is the video.....https://youtu.be/VreUm157mD8

Thinking of you, wherever you are in the world right now. 🌊💙

And thank you thank you so much for supporting me Lauren
