Before you start
How to get the most from these
Use headphones if you have them, and pick somewhere you will not be interrupted for the length of the track. If you fall asleep, that is fine — the point is the nervous system settling, not finishing the recording. If a meditation brings up more than you expected, stop it. Nothing here is a substitute for working with a therapist, and none of it has to be done in one sitting.
Inner child
Five inner child meditations
Five different routes into the same work. Start with Golden Light Healing if you have never done this before.
Golden Light Healing
20:02
A younger version of you, a quiet room and a golden light that holds you both. The gentlest of the five and the right place to start if you have never done this before.
A Warm Hug
10:52
Breath-led rather than image-led. It works through the body instead of the eyes and ends in an embrace held long enough to actually register.
Warmth by the Fire
11:28
A path, a streetlight and a cabin with a fire in it. The backpack comes off in the first two minutes, which is the whole point of it.
Rewriting Childhood Moments
13:58
You return to one moment as the adult you are now and give it the ending it needed. The most demanding of the five — take it when you have room, and not first.
Holding Your Inner Child
14:24
Slow reparenting. This is one you arrive in rather than build, so it works best late in the evening or when you are already settled.
Grief
Meditations for grief
Grief Meditation
11:15
For the days grief is loud and for the days it is just sitting there. It does not ask you to move through stages or to feel better by the end.
Chakras
A meditation for the chakras
Healing 7 Chakra Meditation
17:19
The full seven-chakra meditation recorded end to end, from root to crown, with time to rest at each one rather than a quick tour.
Body
A meditation for the body
Somatic Awareness
16:33
For when you feel numb or far away from yourself. A slow guided return to the felt sense, without forcing anything open.

Where to go next
Every meditation here has a written script behind it, free to read or print. There are more scripts than there are recordings.
