It’s always a good day when you can pause to look up.

You may already know that cloud watching is calming, but did you know that this activity can also ease stress and anxiety, promote mindfulness and has the capacity to encourage creativity, to name just a few of the benefits?

With this is mind, in this month’s edition of A Peaceful Pause, I guide you through a calming meditation inspired by summer clouds.

Find a comfortable place to lie down or sit. If it’s a nice day you might even like to take your meditation outside.

Here’s your Calming Clouds Meditation (11 mins). I hope you enjoy it.
