I Just Need a Moment to Breathe — A 10-Minute Meditation to Let Go, Relax and Find Your Calm

 

No theme today. Nothing to fix, nothing to overcome, nothing to figure out before you're allowed to feel better. Just ten minutes to sit, breathe, and reconnect with all that you are. If you've been carrying a lot and simply need a moment to breathe, let go and relax, this guided meditation is exactly that — a quiet reset, with nowhere you need to get to.

Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses gentle breath awareness and a warm, spreading light visualisation to settle the body, before moving into affirmations of worth, forgiveness and self-acceptance — a small, simple act of self-love to carry with you into the rest of your day.
