Today I talk to Jen. Jen is highly educated and lived a well-respected and successful career as a police sergeant for the greater part of her life. Jen also was married for many years and has adult children. Jen also lived her life as a male called Jeff for her first 60 years or so.

The Full Moon is a time to get honest about what is not working in your life so that you can bring closure to all that no longer serves you. It is that space just before you exhale, a time of letting go and releasing, where you can shed anything getting in the way of your best self. It is the time to let go and release all that is holding you back so that you can create the space to step into the...

Today, we live in a world that's more connected than ever. We have big data, big tech, and big opportunities that bring us together. We have at our fingertips all the information that we could ever need. Yet, despite all this connection, many of us are more disconnected from ourselves and the world that we live in than we ever have been before. So how do we get back on track and how do we reconnec...

Anxiety happens to the best of us, and it can easily take control of us fast. When we get anxious, we often get faster – whether it is in our breathing, actions or thinking. We tend to get reactive and feel a little tight within – almost like we are suffocating - and if we let anxiety really sink in and take hold that is when we may even have an anxiety-induced panic attack. A great remedy for anx...

This Yoga Nidra meditation and visualisation practise can be used during the day to replenish your energy if you are feeling tired or burnt out, or as a gentle sleep aid, helping you fall asleep into a deep, nourishing and healing sleep.  It has been said that 1 hour of Yoga Nidra equates to 4 hours of deep sleep.  Using this systematic approach to full body and mind relaxation can help you connec...

We are our own worst critics, and almost everybody has something about themselves that they don’t like; something that causes them to feel shame, to feel insecure, or not “good enough.” This guided meditation is an invitation for you to carve out some well-deserved space for yourself, connecting with your breath and experiencing your whole being exactly as you are – no more, no less – and then all...

What does it mean to take time out to renew ourselves? Many of us don't prioritise our own self-care; therefore, we never really take time to unplug, reconnect and renew. Life's pressure and busy pace make it easy to get stuck in old habits and repetitive routines. These cycles make it hard to break emotional triggers, and the egos need to rehash past mistakes, regrets and hurts. When faced with u...

Join  Claire for a meditation journey into setting intentions for your own self-care practice. In order to feel balanced, energised and joyful, we need to love, nurture and nourish our own mind, body and soul. We need to prioritise self-care and ourselves. Even if it is just ten minutes a day. Focusing on our own well being, it makes us feel whole. And when we feel whole, we live with a joyful, en...

This episode is part of day two of the 14-day nature challenge, we are going to stop and smell the flowers. There are two exercises, one is the gratitude for flowers exercise where both adults and kids can make a gratitude flower and even build a gratitude flower garden wall.

We live in a busy culture, where success is often measured by how busy we are, how much we hustle, how many things we can multi-task, how much we work and so forth. Then, add to all this busyness the pings and dings of email, mobile phone and social media. It is no wonder for many of us we are stressed, overwhelmed, tired and distracted. Time has become a resource that many of us don’t have enough...

It's been said that noticing and giving attention to things outside yourself is one of the greatest and purest forms of generosity. Tuning in and becoming one with nature is an example of this. Nature, like us, is alive. When we spend time in nature, all its goodness permeates our mind, body, soul. It positively affects our mood, our health and our own perception of the world around us.  The sight...

There is great healing and power to be found in breathing, gratitude and sitting in stillness. As we rush about our busy lives, we forget to stop and appreciate the gift of the breath and the gift of life itself. This guided meditation will bring you into a place of stillness, enabling you to have a deep respect and appreciation for this moment, for your breathe and for your life.   "Breathe. Let...

We all hold the power of creativity. We all have the creative muse live within us. The creative muse is our source of inspiration and creativity.  The hard part is quietening down the noise of the outside world so that we can connect and honour our own creative muse within.  Connecting with your own creative muse will inspire you to step out of fear and live creatively, which does not have to mean...

When you slow down you see and appreciate the beauty that you never saw before. When you live with intention you actively choose what is important to you and drop the rest. When you simplify you create space for meaning and purpose to unfold.  By slowing down and choosing to live more intentionally and simply you dispose of negative energy, and instead draw in positive energy. Not only will this s...

Today we are going to take a journey together to reconnect with our own creative muse within. In all our busyness and getting lost in all our doing it is easy to disconnect from our own inspiration and creativity. Maybe you have the ideas within, but you cannot find the inspiration or motivation to act.  Or maybe your mind and life is so cluttered and busy that you cannot process your inspiration...

Bring your mind, body, and spirit into harmony; and drift off to sleep more soundly with this deep relaxation sound bath.  A meditation that will feel like you are floating in the ocean alongside the whales: a little ethereal and entirely soothing. Press play, turn up the volume and close your eyes. And then, hopefully, drift into a deep and relaxing nights sleep as the whales sing you to sleep.

We live in a society that is predominately oxygen starved. Our busy schedules, never-ending pressures and overall fast pace of life causes many of us not to breathe properly. A big percent of the population in the world breathe too shallow and fast. This means that we are not taking in sufficient levels of oxygen, the result of an oxygen starved body is toxic build up which makes it hard to natura...

What if we don't need to be any more than we are? What if we are enough? The invitation of today's lesson is to encourage you to love, honour and respect yourself. Just as you are. Owning our journey, our lessons and our truth - it frees us. It frees us from the suggestion that we are not enough and that we should contribute more or become something greater. The only person who gets to define our...

All too often we question our self-worth and own inner knowing when we choose to  measure ourselves with our own past experiences and other people. Dis-empowering ourselves we often measure our future and our own self-worth based on what’s happened to us in the past. We have all at one time or another allowed our headspace to be filled with thoughts such as Am I worthy? Can I trust in my own inner...

There are many stories out in the world about people in their darkest hours having an ‘awakening’ ‘seeing the light’ ‘connecting to divine wisdom’ ‘finding god’ and so forth. From recovering drug and alcohol addicts, people fighting diseases and depression to people who have suffered extreme loss or abuse. Many people have found peace and clarity in their darkest of moments. It is thought that the...

Thank you for joining me for a meditation. In today’s meditation we will take a journey together where we will connect with the higher self,  the universe and a spirit guide to seek what we need – whether that be wisdom, inspiration, love, support or guidance.
