In the fast paced world we live in, taking time out to unwind and relax is becoming more important and necessary.
Job and family demands can build up and become overwhelming… Not to mention the constant bills, car payments and rent or your mortgage.
What is the solution?
Well there are many, but a very simple one is to practice relaxation meditation.
With meditation – you begin to feel an inner peace and stillness. It allows you to slow your down your mind and hush the constant mental chatter.
Ultimately, you learn to take control of our thoughts and emotions – and the little bumps in the road of life become much smoother.

Do you need to Unwind and Relax?
Often in life we aren’t taught coping mechanisms to deal with stress (or we know of them and don’t use them). Unfortunately many people resort to alcohol and drugs to cope with these pressures.
A simple meditation practice can help!
It doesn’t have to be an hour-long session; Just ten minutes a day can make a big difference to your health and wellbeing.
If you practice meditation regularly the health benefits grow and become accumulative in a short span of time.
Listening to an instructor who guides you through the meditation can be very beneficial when first learning to meditate.
The free relaxation guided meditation has been included at the top of this post for you to experience this easy form of full-body relaxation.
Guided Meditation for Relaxation
Guided meditation gives your mind a point of focus, so it is less likely to stray and wander to stressful thoughts.
The words will have a positive impact on both your subconscious and conscious mind, guiding you gently to unwind and relax.
After listening to guided meditations for a period of time, you may like to try to meditate on your own.
I recommend finding a quiet space, either outside or in a quiet room.
I personally love to mediate near a tree and visualise I am breathing in the life-force of the tree – and then breathing out to give my life force back to the tree.
You can sit, stand or lay – whichever you prefer. You may like to close your eyes or leave them open.
Start by taking a deep breath in and allow your stomach to expand. Hold the breath for a few seconds and then exhale slowly.
Repeat this a few times and you will notice that you feel calmer, centred, and that your senses have sharpened.
In time, you will find that you stay calmer for longer periods, and be less affected by the energies of others.
A Regular Meditation Practice
Meditating regularly improves your energy levels and also helps to keep you looking younger and more youthful! These are just a few of the benefits of regular meditation practice.
Please try the meditation above. It takes you on a simple guided journey to relax your mind and body.
It starts with a focus on the breath and then guides you to relax your muscles. Starting at your feet and toes, you systematically relax each part of your body, working all the way up to your face and forehead.
It is very common to become aware of the tension held in parts of your body that you weren’t aware of before hand.
When you release this stored tension you will fell great!
Relaxation Meditation helps you to re-connect your body, mind and spirit – and strengthens this connection throughout your day.

Thank you Brad. I though I was quite relaxed but found this relaxation was
much enjoyed, fulfilling and very helpful.
When I look at the list of your guided meditations there are many I will use, especially the sleep one.
thanks and god Bless.

Love the soothing voice. The words and suggestions were simplistic and to the point, therefore making it easy to visualize. Very relaxing and satisfying! Thank you for sharing it.

I have to admit I woke up with back pin my self thus morning but afte doing this I feel totally fine now.
Thanks again nigel and I look forward to your emails.

Jen
Thanks Jen, often as a ‘therapist’ everyone elses wellbeing comes first – so well done for taking a few minutes to listen to Brad’s Relaxation Meditation. Glad you are “feeling” the benefits!
Thank you so much for relaxing meditation – it was just what I needed! Feel very chilled out now. Deb
Wow, I feel so much better now, have been depressed for weeks. Thank you so much! :¤ (*sun shining*)
hi Deborah and Anniken, I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the meditation and it was helpful. Feel free to listen to it as often as you need. With a lot of the changes happening on the planet it is easy to become unbalanced from time to time, and meditation is a great tool for regaining balance of mind, body and spirit.
Hi Brad and Nigel, Thanks so much Nigel for sending me this much needed relaxation meditation, very much appreciated. Thanks Brad for the total relaxation after draining all the tension from every area of my body, so quickly tuned in, and just as quickly revived!!
So good to have the energy change, such a weight off the shoulders!!
Love and light to the two of you!!

hi Belita, Nigel and myself are happy to be of service. Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback, we always love to hear from people.
Hello, I would just like to say that this meditation was wonderful! I cant remember the last time I was that relaxed! Feeling that golden light shine from my body made me feel whole and at peace
It was a truly magical feeling… Thank you very much
Brightest blessings.
hi Katy
Nice to hear from you, it’s always nice hearing from listeners. I’m glad the meditation relaxed you.
Thankyou, I felt very relaxed so easily which is not normal for me. I usually feel itchy or need to move some part of my body, but not this time. Felt wonderful. Thanks again.
hi Christine,
Nice to hear the meditation relaxed you. Relaxation meditations are great for when you feel restless or agitated. Feel free to listen to it as often as you need.
Hi Nigel, I am not much of a believer in meditation, chakras, auras and all that jazz… And I have tried meditation before with very limited success. But I just listened to your colour shower and I feel wonderful! This is possibly the most relaxed I have felt in years. And just before you said about the white, I felt the white wash over me! I have never had that happen!!! You may have made a believer out of me yet! I have subscribed and downloaded it to my ipod. Thank you, thank you, thank you! My personal trainer suggested colour therapy as a way to relax and focus before and after training and that is how I found your site (good ol’ google!) Thanks again.
Brilliant Ella. Really happy to hear. Yes, there is a definite progression from taking time out to relax (not sitting on the couch watching TV… but dedicated ‘relaxation’ like basic meditation provides) before you even have to consider Chakras and Auras and the like. The fact you experienced the white energy wash over you before I said it is the dangling carrot that intrigues many. “How can that happen?” is often the instigation that gets people exploring spirituality. No one can tell you its the correct path… You must discover the motivation to walk the path yourself. Just walk along it as far as you are comfortable
And enjoy your journey! Namaste, Nigel.
Done this twice now and each time it has relaxed me and made me feel very calm and content. I will continue every day. Thank you x
hi Deb,
Glad to hear! Feel free to listen to this relaxation meditation as often as you need. I’m happy to hear you found it relaxing.
Thank you for the Rainbow Meditation. It was wonderful and I felt very relaxed and rejuvenated after I listened to it. Namaste.
hi Josephin, I’m happy to hear the meditation helped you.
Namaste.
I felt as though I was floating. I feel very relaxed right now. Wonderful. Thank you.
Hi Sandy, You’re welcome. A feeling of floating is quite common with meditation, as your body fills with light and relaxation. When it’s time to come back it can be a good idea to do a bit of grounding, by eating something, going outside or going for a walk.
