Meditations for Cloudy Nights

Even when it's cloudy, we can still practice mindfully being with the night time, just as it is. This is a collection of 10 recorded mindful stargazing practices tailored for those overcast nights.

Connecting with the Universe just as it is

Explore how to acknowledge and allow feelings such as frustration with the 'It’s Cloudy – Again!' practice. If you're feeling a little distracted or unsettled, follow the 'Feeling Grounded' practice. Put your worries into perspective and make sure you appreciate every moment with 'Making Every Second Count', and spend time immersing yourself in the sounds of the night with 'Night Soundscape'.

Have you ever considered that the chemical elements that make up your body were once created inside stars? Prepare to have your mind blown with the 'Cosmic Body Scan'. Or listen to 'The Splendour of Deep Space' and spend time delving into the other-worldly magnificence of a deep-sky image of a nebula or galaxy.

If you're already in bed and struggling to sleep, try the 'Drifting Back to Sleep' meditation.

These meditation practices are a great companion to my book 'The Mindful Universe' - see below for more details.
