An adaptation of the Leaves on a Stream Meditation

A gentle guided meditation to help you notice your thoughts, let them pass, and come back to the present moment. Leaves on a Stream is a cognitive diffusion exercise adapted from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This recording is my own adaptation of the practice, drawing on the classic ACT script structure. Find a comfortable, quiet spot, close your eyes if that feels right for you, and let yourself be guided through the practice. This video is shared for general relaxation and self-guided practice - it is not therapy, diagnosis, or a substitute for professional treatment. If you are experiencing distress, please reach out to a registered mental health professional, your GP, or a crisis service such as Lifeline (13 11 14, Australia).
