Meditation teacher Steven Webb offers a short evening practice for the moment when work is done but the day has not quite left the body. Around six minutes of quiet noticing for anyone coming home with the day still held in jaw, shoulders, and breath. Gentle, undemanding, and suitable for any seat, sofa, or floor.

Who this meditation is for

• The commuter who has walked through the front door and still cannot feel home
• The parent who has finished the day's tasks and is still carrying the day's noise
• The remote worker who closed the laptop an hour ago and is still pacing the kitchen
• Anyone whose shoulders are up by their ears at eight in the evening
• The one who knows the day is over but cannot quite put it down

Key benefits

• Releases the day's residue from jaw, shoulders, and the small space behind the eyes
• Marks a clear threshold between the working self and the rest of the evening
• Settles the body without asking for any particular outcome
• Three quiet wishes to let what was done, what came, and what is unfinished rest
• Short enough to do before dinner, long enough to make a difference

A gentle, lying-down practice for the moment before the day begins.

Most of us meet our body for the first time each day in those first few minutes after waking, before we move. The shoulders that ache. The back that protests. The first stretch that tells us what kind of day we're going to negotiate with.

This is a meditation for that moment. It's permissive, soft, and meant to be done lying down, before you get up. We move slowly through the body and ask one simple question of each part: what do you need today? You may not get a clear answer. The practice is the asking, not the answer.

Suitable for anyone navigating a changing body, chronic pain, the ordinary aches of getting older, or simply a tired morning. Stay in bed for this one if you can.

Description:

Meditation teacher Steven Webb offers a short grounding meditation for those moments when anxiety has already shown up. Rather than trying to push it away, you greet it. You sit with it. You ask it why it came, and you listen, the way you'd listen to a friend who turned up at the door looking pale. It's the practice of meeting an unwelcome feeling with curiosity instead of war.

Who this meditation is for:

• Anyone with anxiety rising in the middle of a busy day
• People who have been told to "calm down" or "breathe through it" and found that doesn't reach the actual feeling
• Listeners who want a quick reset, not a long sit
• Anyone who has tried suppressing anxiety and found it gets louder

Key benefits:

• A practical way to meet anxiety with curiosity rather than fight it
• A short reset you can do anywhere (bus, desk, car park, between meetings)
• A simple loving kindness close: may I be peaceful, may I be safe, may I trust this moment
• Pairs with this week's Stillness in the Storms episode on dropping the "I'm fine" armour
