I invite you to a 10-minute seated mindfulness meditation that I recorded by a lake in the Polish Lake District. In the background, you’ll hear birdsong and soothing sounds of nature – everything that surrounded me while recording.

This practice will help you create some distance, calm your nerves, and extend that important space between what happens to you and your reaction.

It’s a moment to take a breath, feel your body, notice your breath, and anchor yourself in the here and now. Perfect for a busy day, it gives you a short but refreshing pause that restores calm, clarity, and balance.
