In this episode, recorded live during a guided meditation class in Bromley, Robert explores what mindfulness really is—and why it's far more than a stress reduction technique.

We look at how the mind automatically creates narratives about the past or future and how a single thought can derail our day—unless we spot it early. Mindfulness meditation is the training ground for that awareness.

What You'll Learn

  • Mindfulness is noticing the present moment without getting lost in mental narratives about the past or the future.
  • The practice trains your subconscious to alert you when your attention has wandered, giving you a choice about where to focus.
  • Stress reduction and relaxation are side effects of becoming aware of your internal state.
  • You learn that you are the observer of thoughts—recognising this neutralises the intensity of inner narratives and mental movies.
  • Connection isn't something to seek. It's what emerges when we break the cycle of distraction and mental chatter.

The session then moves into a guided journey through focused-attention, calmness, and open-awareness meditations—simple yet powerful practices you can return to anytime.
