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

In the second part of this Awareness practice series, Simon Heale guides you through honing and holding focus during practice on a single place and sensation and how something insignificant can be so significant. How our grosser distractions can diminish into the background: thinking, feelings and the body.

Awareness is the heart of insight practice, it is the bedrock of a settled mind, it is a cornerstone of a meaningful life. When we have awareness we have choice. In this practice Simon Heale guides you through the fundamentals of developing more awareness and how to just sit with it. This is the first part of his Awareness Series.

In this last episode for Mental Health Awareness Week, Simon Heale looks at the issue of being alone, our reactions to it and how we can cultivate a new relationship within our sitting practice to be with it in a more flexible and perhaps healthier way. How to hold an emotion with curiosity and expansiveness, to accept the sensation and not get caught up in the stories. Not easy but worth the try.

In part 4 of this series of short meditations for Mental Health Awareness Week, Simon Heale guides you through his 'trademark' settling practice, putting together the various processes already explored this week: body, breath, thinking and now taking charge in settling these all down.

In part 3 of this special week of short meditations for Mental Health Awareness Week, Simon Heale guides you through 18 minutes of watching how our thoughts come and go, and how to be with them in a better and more helpful way.
