While quieting the mind supports meditation, the goal isn’t to get rid of your thoughts. The mind secretes thoughts like the body secretes enzymes! So don’t be at war with your thoughts. Instead of judging when you find you’ve been distracted, bring curiosity and kindness as you shift from thoughts to presence.
When you recognise that you’ve been lost in thought, gently ‘relax back’ by returning your attention to the sounds, sensations and feelings that are actually happening in the present. Allow your anchor point to be in the foreground, and become aware of your experience changing from moment to moment.
Kind Words
Natalie is a kind and caring practitioner who takes a substantial amount of time to cater to individual needs. I can particularly recommend her online meditation library, which is great for at-home practice and offers a large range of guided meditations.
My favourite way to spend a Monday night, is to visit the Alite Mind studio for Group Meditation Natalie has created a warm and cosy space to unload your worries & stresses of the day. Stepping into the room feels like being enveloped in a giant hug. Her presence is very calming and I leave feeling refreshed and have clarity of mind. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions
I have felt consistently supported and safe with the compassionate, authentic, gentle care provided by Natalie, at a truly difficult and challenging time :)
I highly recommend Natalie at Alite Mind she supported me through a very high stressful time in my life. I felt safe, supported and understood all the way through our sessions. I took the opportunity to become a member to her meditations and they too are amazing, her voice is so calm and soothing easy to follow. Natalie is very professional, kind and compassionate. Thank you for all you have done to support me in my time of need.
I love my Tuesday morning meditations at Alite Mind. The atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming and the session is just lovely, like a warm hug! I always leave feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you!
