Guided practices help us to pause, rest, focus and deeply experience the present moment of our life. They remind us to come back to ourselves over and over, so that resting our presence in our body becomes a habit.

Connecting with the best in you

This guided meditation explores a moment when it felt good to be your authentic self and notices the character strengths that were awake in you at the time.

The practice of 'strengths spotting' attunes us to the best parts of us, so that we can draw on our strengths to help us thrive in every part of our life.

You can pause this practice at any moment if you need more time. You might like to have paper and pen to hand for reflection.
