S1E3 Self Compassion and Perspective; Your Superpowers for 2021.

My most recent chat with Neil Flatman of The Mohawk Sheep Meditation Company was heartwarming and inspiring. Neil is a qualified secular meditation teacher and NLP practitioner, and an all-round good egg. He is also in the process of a year-long qualification with the Zen Buddhist teacher, the Rev Angel Kyodo Williams, based in the USA.

Whilst we can't see the mindset muscle grow as much as a quad or bicep, little emotional fitness exercises play a huge part in building our resilience, allowing us the freedom to feel comfortable and safe in our own skin to take on whatever challenges life throws at us.

Research shows that meditation can help us to become fine-tuned and clearer in our heads and feel more spacious in our minds, by turning off the sympathetic system (fight-or-flight) and turning on the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system (rest and digest).

This episode will help you to gain more awareness of your behaviours, feelings, and emotions, learning how to channel and transform them in more productive ways.
