Into Stillness

This is a present moment style of guided meditation. We don’t always have a peaceful, noise free environment in which to meditate. Therefore the focus of this meditation practice is to learn how to find peace among all the noise we are often surrounded by.

With this new episode comes another new backing track produced specially for this meditation called “ethereal”. This new practice is a reimagining of a previous episode based on the ancient mantra So’ham. What makes So’ham so special is that it is present within us, heard in the sound of our inhalation and exhalation. It is also believed that So'ham is an answer to Ko’ham, meaning "Who am I?" The universe answers this question with So'ham, communicating that "You are the same as I am.” The track "ethereal" is available for streaming and free download through my musical alias 'nature', link HERE.

This episode is an incredibly direct and focused practice for the times you simply only have 5 minutes for meditation. Its not everyday we have 20-30 minutes for our personal practice. Often we can only fit in maybe 5 minutes but that 5 minutes is still very important and thats what this guided meditation is for. I hope it is of some service to you.

This is a remastered version of one of my favourite early episodes of the podcast. I have learned a lot about editing vocal audio and have upgraded my equipment since I released the original version. Therefore I thought I would bring back a few of my favourite episodes and remaster them. I hope you enjoy this version even more than the first! "This meditation intends to connect you more to the vital life force that is prana. In this guided practice we dive into what prana is, ways to facilitate circulation of prana in meditation, where prana resides and how it moves through the body and finally how to feel each prana vayu in the body through the breath."

This is a guided imagery and visualization meditation where we are headed into the forest once more. This time into an old growth forest. I particularly enjoy writing, recording and editing these one as I feel a deep attachment to the subject matter. I hope that comes across in the resulting guided practice. “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” - John Muir Please support me by subscribing, sharing this episode and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify if you happen to enjoy it!

This is a guided meditation centred around the lotus flower. The unique symbol that is the lotus flower is universal to us all, not just to those of religion.

Our breath is one of if not the most important part of our meditation practice. How we breathe is how we gain control of and influence our well-being. In this episode of Into Stillness I provide you with everything you need to know about the breath as it relates to meditation in just 10 minutes. I hope this proves a helpful resource for anyone listening. Please support me by subscribing, sharing this episode and leaving a review online if you happen to enjoy it!

This is a meditation for mental clarity. Our meditation practice is not about controlling the mind, it is about understanding the tendencies of the mind. Through this practice we also come to understand the connection between our physical body, our energetic body, our mind and our breath. An imbalance in one creates a disturbance in another. When we sit to practice we work to harmonize each one, getting rid of any dissonance in the system, even if for just a short while. Overtime this is where our clarity comes from. Overtime we increase the capability of our mind to sift through the rapid waves of thoughts, identify what’s important, what we can let go of and become less reactive.

On this special episode of Into Stillness I have a guest meditation by my German brother David (@mindfuldave). David and I met on a yoga teacher training a couple years ago in Bali and have finally gotten around to collaborating on a meditation together. This is a wonderful gratitude meditation paired with some breath work and one very smooth German voice. I know you will enjoy this practice just as much as I did. Hopefully we have the chance to work together again in the future.

Happy new year everyone! Starting this new year strong on the Into Stillness podcast with my personal favourite japa practice. For this episode of the podcast we are working with the mantra “Om Sri Ramaya Namaha” for a japa style meditation. Om Sri Ramaya Namaha is a mantra that is used to honour Lord Rama, a god and incarnation of Vishnu. Lord Rama is known by devotees as the one who rejoices and brings joy, as well as peace and justice to the world. Chanting the mantra is said to engender in the yogi god consciousness and a connection to divine truths and blessings. Om Sri Ramaya Namaha can be translated and interpreted from the Sanskrit as, “Salutations to Rama, the bestower of happiness, inner peace and balance. May your warrior energy, inner focus and personal integrity reside within me.” Please support me by leaving a review online if you happen to enjoy the episode, helps me reach more people and spread the practice of meditation.

For this episode of the podcast I have created a 5 minute SOS or emergency meditation. This meditation is for a time when you feel overwhelmed, for when everything just feels like too much and you need a moment to forget it all and just relax. It can also be used as a reminder of the tools you have readily available to you in difficult times. You hold more power than you may believe and you are stronger than you sometimes feel.

Sticking with the recent theme of nature styled meditations I have been creating. This episode features a sound based meditation focusing on the sounds of nature. It’s been proven that playing 'natural sounds' affects the bodily systems that control the flight-or-fright and rest-digest autonomic nervous systems, with associated effects in the resting activity of the brain. The sounds of nature are a pure and natural symphony unlike any other. I will be stepping away from the nature theme for the next few meditations so look forward to that!

I have always wanted to try out a guided meditation that leans more towards fantasy, my all time favourite genre when it comes to books. I came across the word “moonglade” a while back when scrolling the internet for inspiration, and it sparked an idea. I am very excited to have finally brought that idea to fruition and hope it comes across how I pictured it in my mind. I would love to know if you enjoyed this episode or not. I plan to do more in this fantastical style in the future and want to improve the imagery and delivery as best I can!

This is a very special guided imagery meditation. I wanted to recreate the type of feeling I receive from being in the wilderness, inside a guided meditation.

This a companion episode to the last episode, “The Sunrise Meditation”. I would love you to try doing each one with the sunrise and the sunset (in a single day if possible). Both meditations follow a similar format but touch on different ideas relating to the particular aspects each phase of the suns daily journey relates to (in my mind).

Finally back from a couple month break! The podcast will be back to its regular schedule or at least every 2 weeks. This meditation was inspired by an early morning adventure to watch the sunrise. I recommend trying it with a sunrise yourself or at least in a sunlit place. This meditation is a combination of breath awareness and guided imagery. I truly hope you enjoy it and look forward to the next episode. I have been working on a new project for the last couple months. I can’t say what it is exactly just yet but it’s about 150 pages at the moment if you know what I mean… Please consider leaving a review online if you happen to enjoy the episode, helps me reach more people and spread the practice of meditation.

On this episode of the podcast I have a body scan rooted in gratitude for all that it provides and allows us to experience. The miracle of the human body is often overlooked as we move through life and my aim with guided meditation is to illuminate that miracle. I personally find body scans to be one of the most relaxing and grounding forms of mindfulness meditation. With this particular one I hope to leave you with a strong sense of appreciation for the body and all its capabilities.
