Unwind and find solace in the power of music, grounded in psychology, with Mindful Music; created and presented by registered psychologist and musician, Greta Bradman.
In this episode Greta invites you to spend time with glorious music and learn how to "body scan" with a guided exploration into self-awareness and relaxation work. And continue a guided, exploration for acceptance, while finding your motivating force for nurturing positive relationships, for your wellbeing.
BODY SCAN FOR AWARENESS - through guided exercises, Greta will help you tune in to your body and practice a gentle form of non-judgemental awareness. When your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to the part of the body you are observing. This exercise is not only about relaxation but also about fostering a deeper connection with your physical self, enhancing self-awareness in the present moment.
MINDFUL EXPLORATION FOR ACCEPTANCE - There are no right or wrong ways to experience this music. Just be intentional about remaining open and curious. This place, one of non-judgemental acceptance, is an incredible launching pad for change, be it self development or contributing to changing something in the world. We tend to spend a bunch of time talking about "shoulds", e.g. I should be, you should do. This is an opportunity to let go of shoulds.
You can read more about how music can be used as a powerful tool to help you in this article, "Using the power of music through your wellbeing journey". An explainer that shows more reasons and ways that music is good for the highs and the lows, how music can influence the way you feel and tips to help harness the power of music.
