This meditation gives us the chance to slow down and reconnect with our body, and it will also help us cultivate more presence in our everyday lives. It is best done in a lying down posture, ideally on a mat on the floor with your head and knees supported.

This meditation can give us a sense of perspective around any difficulty and a way of feeling calmer in the face of conflict and strife, whilst also being a way of reconnecting with ourselves and our inner wisdom. It can be done sitting, standing, walking or any place you happen to be. Ideally try to find some quiet space to do it uninterrupted.
3-step Breathing Space
An opportunity to set and gain insight into your intentions, to cultivate inner strength and clarity of purpose. In this mindful meditation we not only set our intentions, but also explore them to gain insight into ourselves.
Intention Setting
A cultivation of loving kindness towards ourselves and others. Its more than possible that you wont feel anything at all as you do this meditation, the invitation is to simply listen to the guidance and just allow your experience to be your experience.

"Jo’s passion for mindfulness is compelling. Jo teaches her subject with passion and enthusiasm. Throughout the course she instructs us how to live more mindfully and in the present but also prompts us to come to your own conclusions about areas of our lives that we live on auto pilot and that we are not even aware that we do it. This course has fundamentally changed the way I view various aspects of my life!"
