In this serene guided meditation, you are invited on a peaceful journey towards restful sleep.

As the episode begins, you are guided through a series of relaxing visualizations and breathing techniques, designed to ease the mind and release the day's tensions. The ambient background creates an enveloping atmosphere and each carefully crafted word encourages deeper relaxation, leading you down the path to a state of deep, restorative sleep.

The meditation helps you to detach from your thoughts and immerses you in the present moment. Gradually, the meditation guides you into a deeper state of relaxation, where sleep comes naturally and peacefully. This episode is not just a pathway to sleep; it's an experience that nurtures both the mind and soul, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated upon awakening. So that you are not awakened with a jolt at the end of the meditation by another podcast or track, you can turn off autoplay by navigating to the 'Home' tab and tap on the Settings icon. Locate 'Autoplay'. Disable the feature.

Enjoy, and sweet dreams!

This episode provides a wonderful meditation that we can all use when we get a spare 15 minutes or so.

Guided by Kadam Adam Starr of The Tara Kadampa Meditation Centre in Dublin, Ireland, this is the perfect meditation to ground any worrisome thoughts and to reconnect us to the natural state of peace which we can learn to access through mindfulness and meditation.

In this episode, my special guest is international Buddhist Teacher, Kadam Adam Starr, resident Teacher at the Tara Kadampa Meditation Centre in Templeogue in Dublin.

Kadam Adam has been teaching Buddhist meditation, mindfulness and Buddhist teachings since 2004 in Ireland, the UK and Europe and studied under the renowned Buddhist master, teacher and author, the Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, one of the great Tibetan Buddhist meditation masters.

Prior to his calling to teaching, Kadam Adam was a director in an international media company, in the area of mergers and acquisitions and in this special episode, he speaks to the practical and spiritual aspects of managing stress and anxiety through mindfulness and meditation.

We explore many topics including how to unlock meditation and mindfulness to alleviate stress, cultivate self-awareness and inner wisdom which can in turn create lasting positive change in one's life.

Kadam Adam explains how meditation, mindfulness and Buddhist wisdom can help navigate the challenges we all meet as we make our way through life and the lessons apply to everyone, not just practicing Buddhists.

Kadam Adam was also kind enough to do a 15 minute meditation at the end of the podcast, and I am very grateful for his time in coming to Cork to speak with me.

We also shared our insights into the underlying drivers of stress and anxiety, both in everyday life and within the corporate world of work. And of course, we couldn't go without offering some valuable tips and advice on managing stress and anxiety effectively.
