A Calming Body Scan Meditation for Rest Hi lovely. If life feels like a lot right now, this meditation is here to help you put things down for a little while. Get comfortable, take a gentle breath with me, and let's soften into a calming body scan. You've done enough today. You're allowed to rest. I hope this brings you a little comfort.

Hello lovelies. I hope you're okay. I know life can be tough, and sometimes we need a little space to rest and begin again. This gentle, trauma-informed sleep meditation is here for you through the hard times. We'll take things slowly, with grounding, gentle breathing and a soothing body scan. There's no right way to listen—take what helps and leave the rest. And if you drift off, that's okay too.

Hi lovelies, A quick update: I've woken up with a cold, I'm nearly through my essays and tests for the year, and the solar installation is finally finished—though those builders on the roof did interrupt my recording! Spring is arriving here, and I've loved having my sons visit. I'm also still working out how best to help with the cats being dumped in our street. Most of all, thank you to everyone who has donated.

"Here I Am, Still Here: A Soft Place to Land" In this episode, I share a gentle, looping meditation for the days when you've simply had enough. We begin with a soft, honest ramble from my morning here in the Barossa and then ease into a repetitive practice using phrases like "Here I am" and "I'm still here" to help you rest, regulate, and remember that your presence matters, exactly as you are. If this podcast supports you and you're in a position to do so, your donations truly change everything. They help me keep creating trauma‑informed, accessible practices and allow others—who may not be able to pay right now—to still receive this support.

Hello lovely ones, As always, you hear things first here. I've been reflecting on how grateful I am to be doing this work – teaching, creating meditations, and studying – and how much I'm absolutely loving my job more and more. It's a juggle, but it's an enjoyable juggle. I'm recording these notes at four in the morning. The night sky is stunning, my son has just got up, and I've made him his very specific crumpet recipe: soak them in maple syrup, then add Nutella, then more maple syrup on top. The kittens have finally emerged from under the couch and are now racing around the house with complete, reckless joy. It's a messy, beautiful, real-life moment – and I'm so glad I get to share it with you. Thank you so much for supporting me and Patrick. I have two assessments due in the next few days, so I've been a little quieter than usual, but I am still here, still creating, and still holding you in mind as I design each practice. Honestly, I would not be creating this content without your support. Your generosity genuinely makes this work possible. Thank you, from my heart.

In this episode, I guide you through a simple, calming body scan, gently moving from head to toe with repetition, softness, and permission to arrive exactly as you are.

Fed Up to Okay – A Meditation for When You're Done, Drained, or Overwhelmed In this gentle, looping meditation, Lauren invites you to come exactly as you are – fed up, exhausted, grieving, frustrated, or simply "not okay." Together, you'll explore small, compassionate steps toward being okay enough, even when life itself isn't okay yet. Through simple breathing, grounding through the senses, and nervous-system-aware language, this practice supports you to: Notice strong feelings (frustration, fed up, done) and soften around them Return to what is in your control: your breath, posture, next small step, and attitude Work with the phrase "Right now, I am safe enough to breathe" as a gentle anchor Use "one percenters" – tiny kind acts – to move through grief, stress, or burnout over time Remember that again is allowed: you can fall, rise, adjust, and continue You'll also hear the soundscape of early morning in South Australia – cockatoos and birds as a living reminder that we rarely get perfect quiet, but we can still practice with what we have. Thank you for listening and for bringing your real, human moments into this space. Your presence here matters.

Show Notes – "Wired, Tired, and Done" In this gentle meditation, you're invited to arrive exactly as you are—wired, tired, or simply done—and to begin from there. We explore softening the body, noticing "I am here, I am breathing, I am alive," and meeting your nervous system without fixing or judging. If this practice supports you and you'd like to walk alongside my work more closely, you're warmly invited to join me on Patreon. Your support helps me create accessible, neurodivergent‑affirming meditations, and in return you receive extra practices, reflections, and community updates: 👉 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/laurenostrowskifenton Thank you for being here, exactly as you are.

Hello lovely, It's quite cold here tonight. We've had more kittens again – there are a lot of feral cats on the property at the moment, which is something we're slowly working through with care. Between the cold air, the tiny paws, and the kettle boiling, I've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out. I've just uploaded a new sleep meditation*on the podcast "Sleep Meditation with Lauren Ostrowski Fenton" – a gentle practice to help you soften, feel supported, and slowly settle your nervous system when everything feels a little too much. 🕊️ New: Voice-only version on Patreon For those of you who prefer just my voice, with no added sounds, there is a voice-only version available on Patreon. It's free for all patrons (including free members), so you're warmly invited to listen there as well. - -- A little life update I'm loving my new job as a Positve Behaviour Practitioner and my Master's in Disability (Developmental Education) Flinders University – it feels meaningful to weave this learning back into the meditations and resources I share with you. My son is staying with me at the moment with his amazing girlfriend, which brings such a sense of warmth and joy into the house. Amongst the busyness, the cold nights, and the chaos of kittens, I find myself thinking of this community often – of you, wherever you are, doing your best with what you've been given. - -- Live on Patreon – "Finding Joy in the Chaos of Life" In response to your questions and messages, I'll be running a live session on Patreon this Saturday morning(Adelaide time - Australian Central Standard Time): Finding Joy in the Chaos of Life: Resetting Your Nervous System - You'll be notified a few hours before the live on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/cw/laurenostrowskifentonhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/laurenostrowskifenton - It will be low-key and informal – more like sitting together in a lounge room than a formal event - We'll explore: - Gentle ways to reset your nervous system - A simple meditation together - Creating a personal toolbox to help you find tiny moments of joy in the middle of adversity - a handout and of course home work You are so welcome to come exactly as you are – tired, hopeful, overwhelmed, curious, or all of the above. --- Thank you for being here Here is a picture of one of our cats, who has somehow managed to stay on her back with adorable loyalty to comfort and chaos all at once. She makes me smile, and I hope she makes you smile too. Thank you so much for listening to my content, for supporting me on Patreon, and for donating to this YouTube channel and the wider work. Your support makes it possible for me to continue creating these meditations, and it means that those who cannot afford it can still listen for free. This community exists because of you.
