Meditation for Mindfulness, and Relaxation

Mindfulness is a state of active, open attention to the present, an awareness of your internal states and surroundings. It involves paying attention to the present moment intentionally and without judgment. Mindfulness is a way of being, and meditation is a tool to help you get there. Mindfulness is one form of meditation. It is a cognitive skill that is usually developed through meditation.

Meditation can initially feel challenging, especially when the mind is busy, but that’s completely normal. Like any skill, it becomes easier and more natural with consistent practice and patience. Over time, your ability to focus, stay present, and return to stillness strengthens, and what once felt difficult can evolve into a source of calm, clarity, and inner resilience.

Meditation and the Law of Attraction are closely connected because meditation helps you calm your mind, clear negative thoughts, and focus on positive intentions, which in turn raises your emotional and energetic "vibration." According to the Law of Attraction, whatever energy or thoughts you consistently put out into the universe, whether positive or negative, gets reflected back to you through your life experiences. So, by meditating, you align your inner state with higher emotions like joy and gratitude, making it more likely for you to attract positive outcomes.

“Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows”. Meditation improves your attention span and helps you stay focused for longer periods. It’s a powerful tool for directing your energy because it quiets the mind and brings awareness to your thoughts. With consistent practice, especially through mindfulness meditation, you learn to take control of your attention and consciously choose where to direct it, training your mind to stay focused and redirect thoughts when needed.

Hypnosis and meditation are not the same. Hypnosis can be used to change subconscious belief systems through suggestions and imagery journeys, and can rewire subconscious programming rather than just venting out unwanted emotions. Hypnosis depends mainly on hypnotic suggestions, while meditation typically does not involve the use of specific suggestions, but rather encourages the individual to observe their thoughts and let them pass without attachment. Hypnotherapy is usually guided by a trained professional, a hypnotherapist. Meditation trains your mind gradually through awareness and stillness, while hypnosis works faster by directly accessing the subconscious with focused suggestions for change. The goal of hypnotherapy is usually to address specific issues or goals, such as improving confidence, while meditation typically focuses on mindfulness, observing thoughts and sensations without judgment, rather than actively trying to change them.

Chakra meditation is a practice that focuses on balancing the body’s main energy centres, known as chakras. Activating and aligning these energy points is believed to support a healthy energy flow throughout the body. Techniques such as visualisation and focused attention are often used to help clear blockages and restore balance. With regular practice, chakra meditation can reduce stress and promote a deeper sense of harmony, vitality, and emotional wellbeing. For example, the third eye chakra, located between the eyebrows, is associated with intuition, insight, and spiritual awareness.

I typically prefer to work with individuals aged 18 and over.
