The Snowglobe Project: settling your world one breath at a time

Settle with Simon (meditations for the masses) Ep 3: The Beginners Mind Practice

In this episode meditation and mindfulness teacher Simon Heale guides you through a 30 minute practice exploring how we can re-learn that uncritical quality of the childs mind or the beginners mind. To witness our thinking, emotions or any of the senses as if for the first time, thereby putting our baggage of expectation and judgement down for at least  a few moments. Just like a child exploring elements of the world for the first time.

Don't believe me, just try it.

Settle with Simon: A gift for carers. 14 minutes of calm for all who give to others.

In this new episode of Settle with Simon, part of the Snowglobe Project podcast, Simon Heale presents a short practice for everyone who gives to others every day. You might be a teacher, nurse, doctor, caregiver or therapist, you might be caring for someone at home, or in a nursing home, or a clinical setting: no matter, this short audio is a gift for you to find a little calm and reconnection.

You don't have to be a regular meditator, you just have to be curious.

Enjoy and thank you for what you do.

The Snowglobe Project: (or meditations for all) Episode 32 A time to reflect on loss

Over the last year we have all experienced loss in some form or another, and in the last week the passing of HRH The Prince Philip has allowed us to mourn not just him but also to sit, to stop and give ourselves time to reflect on loss and our relationship with it.

This latest episode in the Snowglobe Project, presented by meditation and mindfulness teacher Simon Heale, gives you 28 minutes of space to reflect on someone or something that has been lost or has passed. There is nothing to achieve in this practice, it is a breathing and an open space to allow whatever arises to be held and witnessed.

The Snowglobe Project: (or meditations for all) Episode 31: Get Breathing Space

Get Breathing Space is a 30 minute meditation practice which focusses on using the breath as anchor , cultivating awareness of body and breath together and awareness of the nature of thinking and feelings.

In this episode of the Snowglobe Project, Simon Heale, offers another of his popular bi-weekly live lockdown practices. This practice is for anyone wanting to settle and get some needed breathing space in their life.

The Snowglobe Project: (or meditations for all) Episode 30 Long Meditation: Do we React or Respond?

In our daily or possibly weekly meditations are we aware of our reactivity with our inner goings on? Our inner chatter, inner conversations, judgements, ruminating and more? If we can learn to step back each time and give ourselves that tiny space then we can slowly cultivate a little more responsiveness and a little less reactivity. We may then be able to take some of that, newly hard-wired, response into our daily lives. Maybe.

In ep 30 of the Snowglobe Project, Simon Heale guides you through 27 minutes of breathing, calm, space and stillness.

The Snowglobe Project: (or meditations for all) Episode 29 Two Practices: Conversations 14 min and Choices 23 min

In this episode of The Snowglobe Project, Simon Heale offers you two, yes TWO, practices. Conversations is a short meditation on the dialogue we can have with ourselves in practice, about the qualities we can bring though dialoguing.

Choices is the longer meditation which explores the practice of wise-choice: deliberately choosing where to rest our attention, to regain a sense of choice, albeit briefly and in practice, where in our daily lives we may feel, certainly currently, that we have little choice. If we can take a sense of this wise-choosing into our day to day living, we may experience things in a new framework. Maybe.

Enjoy them both.

The Snowglobe Project: (or meditations for all) Episode 28 New Year Settling In Practice

As we all enter a new year and with current events not relenting, it is a real challenge to be present, to remind ourselves of what is in our control, to then take actions that can be of service, be of value to not just ourselves and those around us, but perhaps to a wider community.

This settling in practice aims to give us 30 minutes of grounding, of breathing, of allowing whatever troubling or repetitive thinking we have, to settle, with a little gift at the end too.

I hope you enjoy it.
