S2 Ep 3: The Luxury of Choice

What happens when you don’t have the money to buy period products?  

S2 Ep 2: Crouching Tampon, Hidden Plastic

Single use period products are everywhere! They are so popular in fact that we’ve got something of an environmental mess on our hands. 

But how did single use pads and tampons get to be so popular? How did we get to be so reliant? And what should we do about them? 

S2 Ep 1: Your period has been hijacked!

Have you experienced that weird sense of shame, embarrassment and secrecy about your period? You’re not alone!   

9c. Nature contemplation

Another contemplation designed to help you soften a little more.   You are enmeshed in the natural world, you just need to give it a little thought, a little attention. 

9b. Contemplating interdependence

Even though we live on a very populated planet, we can still feel separate, disconnected.   Or we draw lines and place ‘us’ on one side and ‘them’ on the other. This contemplation helps you to see that you are not just connected, you are enmeshed.  

9a. Taking in the good

This is a quick and easy practice that will help to counteract the brain’s fixation on negative   information. Learn how to make more of your brain’s plasticity, to take in positive experiences more effectively.  

8c. Soft words, soft voice meditation

We are hardwired, often socialised as well, to give ourselves a hard time.  This is a function of the brain that is concerned with your survival, though not at all with your happiness. A harsh inner voice is counterproductive to your wellbeing.

8b. Self-compassion meditation

You have probably heard of the ‘fight or flight’ system. This meditation activates the lesser known ‘tend and befriend’ system. Include yourself in this naturally warm and fuzzy vibe. Whoever you are, wherever you are, this is a powerful rebalancing exercise. 

8a. Introduction to self-compassion meditation

Many people find self-compassion difficult, whereas compassion for others comes easily. Both are good for your wellbeing. This meditation helps you to draw on your capacity for compassion, then invites you to offer it to yourself.

Episode 7b: Riverbank meditation

Practice sitting on the riverbank, feel that restful place. Soon you will be able to access this calming place when you are out and about, living your busy life … because it is within you.  Be willing to give yourself moments of rest.
