In this meditation, I invite you to explore different types of attention — sensory, outer, inner, breath and spiritual — and how each can gently deepen our practice.


We begin by resting in a state of relaxed awareness, allowing attention to be brought to bear without strain or effort. From here, we notice the senses as gateways into the present moment, before widening awareness to include inner experience, the rhythm of the breath, and a quieter spiritual attention.

Nothing needs to be forced or held tightly. Attention is allowed to move and settle naturally, guided by intention and supported by stillness.

This daily guided meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate clarity, steadiness and gentle awareness.
