MEET OUR EXPERTS & THEIR STYLES
AWARENESS STYLE BY OXFORD MINDFULNESS
Three minutes to step out of automatic pilot and bring awareness to your present-moment experience.
Notice your own thoughts, feelings and physical sensations, and the people and world around us, in a spirit of friendliness and curiosity.
We all have the ability, but sometimes we go through life as if on automatic pilot, reacting to events and getting carries away by them without realising it.
Practicing mindfulness can help bring us back to our senses, quite literally, so we can learn to be more fully present in our lives.
A calming meditation of possibility.
An invitation to meet the rest of your day with curiosity, openness and a little more room for the unexpected. The next scene hasnt happened yet.
Step out of what has already happened and make a little room for what might come next.
Through curiosty, perspective and small moments of human connection, it reminds us that we don't know every conversation, encounter or unexpected moment still waiting for us today - we can create something good for ourselves and someone else along the way.
STABILITY STYLE BY ALL HERE
All Here's three-minute Sun Meditation trains you to gather, direct and sustain attention using one familiar object: the Sun.
Modern life fractures our attention: multiple tasks, screens, thoughts and emotions continually interrupt its flow. Can you keep your attention on one thing for three minutes?
You will train to:
1. Recognise when your attention moves away from the Sun.
2. Gently return your attention to the same object.
Through this repeated return, the mind's ability to remain stable strengthens, and concentraion develops.
