Episodes:

Ep. 1: Breathe (2020-09-07)

What is the relationship between each breath and mindfulness, and why is breathing so important to becoming still and being in the moment?
Ep. 2: Change (2020-09-08)

Learning to be mindful can help us cope with life’s stresses, and Andy shows how focusing on the sights and sounds of the natural world can help us deal with change in our lives and how to live in the moment.
Ep. 3: Joy (2020-09-09)

Mindfulness is the ability to be present with a clear, calm, curious mind - and feelings of joy can be triggered when this happens. How can watching penguins pinching pebbles, seeing antelope leaping in the air or looking at scenes of summer flowers help us to feel more positive emotionally?
Ep. 4: Rest (2020-09-10)

The natural world offers a constant source of calm and comfort. How do images of hypnotic starling murmurations or macaques relaxing in hot springs in Japan encourage us to slow down? How can we experience more being and less doing?
