The Simple Zen Path to Letting Go
As a boy I filled my pockets with pebbles off Perranporth beach, and I would not let anyone near them. Not even to call them stones.About 17 minutes, a talk with a meditation at the end.The West has butchered what letting go means. It does not mean forget it and move on, because you cannot. In Zen it means every moment is arising and you do not have to put it in your pocket. You can enjoy the pebb
Your Emotional Safe Haven
You build a safe place, then you build a way back into it. A touch, a necklace, a hand in a pocket. Something you can do in a crowded room.About 15 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.You walk through a doorway into an empty space and furnish it yourself. Pictures, smells, birds, people you trust. Then you pick a physical gesture as the anchor, step out, and use the gesture to step back in. We p
A Meditation for When Relaxation Seems Impossible
I recorded this because I did not want to meditate and had been putting it off. So we do it together and I keep it short.About 10 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.Nothing much is asked of you. Not even relaxing. You make a game of it instead. What can I be aware of right now? A sound, the heat on your skin, a bit of tension that lets go the second you notice it.

May my heart be open.Treat me to a coffee, k
A Journey to Inner Calm and Love
Loving kindness, and then the awkward bit where you turn it back on yourself.About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.You go to your own quiet place, then bring a friend, then a stranger, then everyone. Easy enough so far. Then you point it at yourself and something in you resists. We are taught to send love outwards and to go looking for it elsewhere. Love is acceptance, and accepting yours
Sleep Soundly: Lake of Tranquillity
A rowing boat, a slow river, and a lake that goes still in the middle. You are meant to be gone by then.About 16 minutes, tense and release first. Only listen where it is safe to sleep.Tense and release first, legs then arms then everything, because that is the part that gets the body to sleep. Then the path you have walked a hundred times, the wooden decking, and your own boat waiting on it. You
Afternoon Lunchtime Boost: Confidence, Energy, and Joy
The afternoon dip, when there is still half a day left and not much left in you. Eleven minutes to get some back.About 11 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.A ball of golden light comes down through the crown of your head and fills you as it goes. Three lines about being capable, then you go looking for one good thing already in today. It might only be a phone call. Even the roughest days have
