Take a gentle pause and reconnect with the present moment through this breathing anchor meditation, guided by psychologist Jane Masson from Priory Hospital Hayes Grove.

In this meditation, Jane leads you through a 15-minute mindfulness meditation that uses the breath as an anchor for attention. Supported by soft background music, this practice combines a full body awareness scan with breath-focused mindfulness to help calm the mind, ease mental busyness, and build emotional steadiness.

Rather than trying to stop thoughts, you are invited to notice them with curiosity and gently return your attention to the breath whenever it wanders. The music provides a soothing backdrop, helping you settle more deeply into the practice.

This meditation is suitable for beginners and those with experience, and can be used as a grounding reset during the day or a calming practice in the evening.

What this episode includes:

🧘‍♀️ A guided body scan to support relaxation

🌬 A breathing anchor to steady attention
