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.

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.

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.

Simon Heale offers you two meditations: Conversations 14 mins, on how to dialogue with our experiences in practice, and Choices 23 mins, which looks at making wise-choices in practice, and how we can translate this outwardly.

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.
