Short Meditations: Jewel Programmes

General Guidance To The Jewel Programmes

Each programme is designed so that you can do something every day – some formal meditation and some Mindful Movement.  If you don’t manage to do something on a given day, don’t beat yourself up about it!  Just carry on again the next day.

• • 1. If you are already doing Yoga, TaiChi, Pilates or QiGong then do please count this as your Mindful Movement.  If not, choose appropriate activities from the Mindful Movement sequences and do a few minutes when you can.  I particularly recommend Cat, Pelvic Tilt/Bridge and Floppy Doll – but the choice is yours!

    2. The Programmes are not exclusive – feel free to combine different timings depending on your commitments each week, and of course you can include the longer programmes.  Thus you do not need to make a sudden jump from, say, Emerald to Sapphire – instead you can gradually include activities from the latter.

    3. But of course, none of this is compulsory – choose whatever works for you.
