‘Being Present’ is the second in the series – Compassionate Mindfulness: a collection of deeply relaxing guided meditations, combined with simple everyday exercises. Showing how living mindfully and with self-compassion acts as a powerful antidote to modern day stress, and supports health and wellbeing. This album focuses on how to gain peace of mind by just being in the simple ‘here and now’ around you.
When we are hijacked by our busy minds, most of our waking hours are spent thinking about the future or the past. Our thoughts directly affect our current physical and psychological state. Stressful thoughts directly give rise to physical and emotional imbalances which impact on our long-term health and well-being. Learning to give ourselves ‘time out’ in the simple ‘here and now’ is a really effective way of soothing the mind and calming the nervous system. Neuroscience shows that when we come away from the part of our brain that deals with thinking, and focus on our senses instead, the body’s natural relaxation response is triggered so that equilibrium can be restored.
‘Being Present’ shows you how to use your breath, attention and attitude to sit back and rest in the simple sensations of the ‘here and now’. Each meditation track on this album is followed by a short track suggesting how to easily incorporate what the meditation has taught you into your everyday life.
*These meditations are taken from ‘Conscious Process’, a twelve-week programme to support health.

Reviews for Compassionate Mindfulness 2
"The tracks on this album are very soothing & relaxing, with excellent suggestions for slowing down, breathing and coming into the present moment. With the lovely soothing background music, this is the best mindfulness CD I have. I love the reminders – just what I need!" - Pam Holand
"I find all your albums useful. I use meditation to help me cope with chronic pain. Very many thanks for your work, and your lovely relaxing voice." - Barbara Kushner
"I love all of the meditations on this album. I sink into my bed as if were made of dough and loose myself in relaxing loving kindness. Though I may start out as choppy waters on a lake, I slowly calm the winds, with a few gusts here and there that eventually settle. I often find I resolve things as I'm relaxing. Problems unravel and I find a decision unfolding. Or different perspectives appearing. They are great on many levels." - Sarah Flegg
