Leaves on a Stream: Finding Calm Amidst the Chaos

As best you can, bring your attention back to the sensations of sounds. Notice how some sounds are coming and going, entering your realm and then leaving your detection fading away and you can't hear them.
Feeling overwhelmed by the whirlwind of daily life? This episode of 'The Forward Leeds Podcast' offers a serene escape through the 'Leaves on a Stream' mindfulness practice, guided by the soothing voice of Matt Whitton. Imagine sitting comfortably, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breath. As you breathe in and out, you start to picture your thoughts as leaves floating down a gentle stream. No need to control them; just watch them drift away.
This simple yet powerful exercise helps you become more aware of your thoughts without getting caught up in them. Alongside this, you'll also tune into the sounds around you, noticing their pitch, volume, and tone without straining to identify them. It's about letting go and just being in the moment. Whether you're new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, this episode is a gentle reminder that peace is just a breath away.
Perfect for anyone in recovery or simply seeking a moment of calm in their busy day.
