4:40 Meditation
This is a simple breathing meditation which helps you to experience a deep inner stillness. The meditation requires no ability to visualise or imagine, it just utilises your breath and guides you through a deep relaxation into a calm, uncluttered headspace. The meditation isn't attached to a religion and you don't prescribe to any particular belief system to enjoy and benefit from it.

the benefits are immense . This video will be my daily dose of meditation from now on. ...i will also explore the other videos in this channel see my options. God bless this woman.....and i am not even religious .
I'm so glad to hear it will become a regular practice @wadi gaji
This meditation has helped me through some of the toughest months of my life. Thankyou so much for your help. I now practice this meditation every day and can find a beautiful feeling of peace and calm everytime.
I'm sorry to hear you've been having a really tough time, sending you love, I hope things get easier soon and I really hope the meditation continues to bring you peace and calm. It means so much to me to know that the meditation has been helping, so thank you for letting me know ❤️
@@carolinemccready my husband is going through cancer treatment. He is 31 years old and underwent a lymphoidectomy for non hodgkin's lymphoma and is having radiotherapy. My worry and fear is out of control but your meditation helps me stay grounded and manage these feelings of fear. Thankyou so much for your help at such a difficult time. I will never forget this
@@siouxsieedwards2232 from the bottom of my heart I hope your husband makes a full recovery. What a challenging time to have to go through this. Sending so much love and I’m so glad the meditation helps.
@@carolinemccready i am still doing this meditation every other day, 3 years after a nervous breakdown. It is pivotal to my mental wellbeing. I am healed so much now, years later. But I still get that euphoric, weightless feeling from this meditation that I don't think I will ever stop practising. I thankyou so much for the years of help during my mental crisis recovery, and the day to day peace this meditation still brings me even when I'm healed ❤
@@siouxsieedwards2232 thank you so much for letting me know. I’m incredibly happy to know the meditation has been a continued support for you. I hope it continues to bring peace and nurture ❤️
This is the most peaceful talk down i’ve ever listened to! Thank you so much Caroline, your videos are pure magic ♡
I'm very happy to hear that @Ethereal Blessing, really glad you enjoy the videos
Love the simplicity the pace the background music all life giving ,life affirming stillness
Beautiful
I'm really glad you enjoy it Leroy, and so happy to read your comment, thank you.
i normally dont enjoy background music...too distracting ......but in meditation videos i find it vital
Thanks Caroline, you have a peaceful and compassionate voice. I'm sending you in CD form to my 78 year old Mum who has been alone during the lockdown, grieving for the sudden loss of Dad. I'm trying to get her to ground/earth as well, to reconnect with the Earth's natural healing energy. Thanks for being part of the human healing solution !
Hi David, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can only imagine how challenging it must be to be grieving in these strange times. I really hope the meditations can bring some comfort to your Mum, please say a hello from me. I hope you and your family are all keeping well and safe, thanks for getting in touch
Just microdosed 200mg of psilocybin and had a lovely experience of my nature, that lives eternally under my sense of 'i'. Good work thankyou
This, and all your meditations are simply wonderful Caroline. Your voice, pacing and music really resonate with me and I'm really able to find stillness. I'm so grateful to have found you here 🙏💞🙂
I’m so happy to hear that. You’re so welcome and I’m very glad the meditations are helpful ❤️
4:40 starts (for my own future reference of reusing this meditation)
Thanks.
Good call ;)
Thank you. I wish everyone would put instructions & explanations in the title text area at the top, freeing the videos to start with the content at 0:00.
Thank you, too much instructions in the beginning
What a beautiful guided meditation. Thank you for making this.
Thank you Krystal
I love your soft soothing voice. Thank you for sharing this meditation
You are very welcome
Thank you so much this is wonderful. I am a very shallow breathing person so the part where you do not breathe is easy for me. I felt like I was floating in water.
I have been searching for someone just like you to make a breathing exercise video for my wellness business!!! I can’t find anyone that compares to you. You are amazing and so fluid
Thank you for this meditation. There were a million of thoughts in my head before, and now they’re all gone. I had a wonderful relaxation, and it felt like a couple of hours has passed. The feeling of stillness was wonderful. ❤️
I'm so gald to hear that, thanks for getting int touch
Nice! Good that there is enough space to experience the stillness fully. There are some stillness meditations where nearly constantly someone is giving you instructions. Counterproductive. But here it is a perfect balance, how I experience it. I also experience your voice as quite calming and the music is beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you Sonja! I really glad you enjoy it, thanks for taking the time to feed back.
wow i feel healed now this music was so relaxing soothing it was good thanks be blessed and thank you
Omg as a practitioner I’m absolutely in Orr. Thank you so much Caroline. Been looking for a practice like this too long but pleased I gave found it now x
I'm really happy to hear that @Michelle Marsden, thanks for watching
This has become my go-to morning meditation - the gentle tone, evocative music and the simplicity of the guidance has helped me go places I’ve never gone so smoothly. Thank you so much for this ✨♥️✨
So fortunate to find Caroline...her soothing voice is perfect in tone and her guidance is just right. Can't say enough.
I love the stillness at the bottom of the breath but have never seen a formal meditation covering it so with your soothing voice and the relaxing music this is now my daily go to meditation. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad to hear that @J C, you're so welcome, I hope you get lots of use and benefit from it.
I’m new to doing guided meditation and have only done a handful but this was far and away the best one I’ve done. Thank you so much
You're very welcome, I'm glad you found it helpful
A very beautiful meditation. Thank you so much.
This is fantastic.
I watch this every day
Thanks
I'm really happy to hear it's helpful @Lost Comic, you're really welcome and thanks for watching

I'm so happy to hear the meditations have been helping
Caroline ; thank you again - yours are some of my favourite meditations.
❤️ love and light to you and yours 🇦🇺
I'm very happy to hear that Bodhi, you're so welcome. Thank you same to you and yours :)
Thank you so very much for this Caroline, 🙏
You're very welcome Lise!
I thankfully stumbled upon this video while I was in a bit of stupor; I am currently doing esketamine therapy for my treatment resistant depression and I find it very helpful to have something to listen to that’s grounding due to its mild dissociative effects. The therapy can put me in a very delicate state and right then I just needed something grounding and peaceful because I had been having some bad and anxious trips. A lot of other meditation videos I find are either too forceful, abrasive or loud, etc.(sometimes it sounds like the person is trying to swallow their microphone) which is not a great atmosphere if you’re hypersensitive with depression doing ketamine therapy lol. So, I eventually landed on this one as I was reaching the peak of my trip, laid back, and prayed for a good experience. Needless to say, I haven’t felt this peaceful and whole in a long time. I want to thank this creator for making this perfect meditation video that honestly gave me a pivotal moment of peace and stillness in my crazy mental health journey. I loved the organic, laid back, listener-comfort-focused, gently-guided format-I haven’t found that it other videos. I listened, I breathed, and I was at complete peace with myself and the world. This creation coupled with my therapy genuinely allowed me to comfort myself for the first time in my life (I struggle with anxiety and paranoia). I am going save this for next time. I’m not sure if anyone will ever see or read this, but to the creator, I thank you, and to any readers-know there is always hope and peace out there for you
That’s so wonderful to hear, I’m so happy it was helpful within your experience. Wishing you all the best with your therapy 💛
Thankyou very Caroline for a wonderful meditation. Stay blessed.
Thanks Zeenath, glad you enjoy it.

Good morning and thank you for a great meditation. This is a wonderful way to start my day!!!

That was so nicer, and then I was got the inner peace, so I can continue my journey into the end of the stories of my life and I'll get it all back, to be a successful man.
That's beautiful, I'm so happy the meditation helped you to feel that way. Thank you for listening and for sharing your experience.

Caroline McCready Meditation have you considered a 2 or 3 day livestream workshop? You offer so much help especially during this difficult time. I would be the first to sign up.✨
@@debbiemorris1147 I'm currently working on some online courses which are absorbing all my time, so I wouldn't be able to do a live stream workshop at the moment, but it would be lovely to do one in the not too distant future and I'll keep you posted about online courses in case you're interested when they're up. I'm really glad to hear the meditations are helpful, I'll be posting more and do keep in touch, if you have any comments or questions, I'm always happy to help
Caroline McCready Meditation I would love to know when your online courses are available. Thanks!
Hello Caroline
I have been following your stillness meditation from last 4 or 5 months, I have noticed my cigg. count has come down gradually on its own.
thanks
Sudhir
That's great, Sudhir, well done! Thanks for letting me know I'm so pleased the meditation is helping.
This was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had, thank you
I'm very happy to hear that, you're so welcome
Thank you for a great breathing meditation. You have a good soothing voice.
You’re so welcome Andrena, I’m very glad you enjoy the meditation
Love your voice! So Beautiful 💞
Thank you Caroline, for everything that you do! I’ve been listening to all of your meditations for a few years now and it’s hard to choose a favorite. This one is so magical and the one that was always exactly what I was looking for. I share it with everyone I know whether new or experienced in meditation. They are so finely crafted on multiple layers and with such care and love throughout. Your lovely accent and the natural pacing of your words combined with the the music you create which is beautiful and deep and stirring. You calm and prepare everyone down to posture and support. Your skill at connecting the user to their breath as well as the absence of it and the holds is so effective for true focus, and there is both an ethereal maternal nature matched with an eternal depth. From start to finish the process is beautiful and transcendent. I am so grateful for everything you do, you have poured your heart and soul into helping others with your gifts. The entire concept is so lovely I wanted to do my best to put my feelings into words. This is spiritual art. It is deeply moving and you have touched many souls. The gratitude I have for your efforts to be able to tell you this also brings me joy, much as you have given me peace when I’ve truly needed it the most. Thank you.
That's so beautiful, thank you so much @nomadejamey, it means more than I can say. I'm so happy the meditations have brought peace when needed and I hope you continue to enjoy them. You're so welcome!
Thank You
Wow thank you
You're very welcome
So beautiful. Healing. Thank you ♡
I'm really happy to hear that Jessica, you're so welcome
Thank you
They’re all excellent, but this one in particular is a masterpiece. Thank you, Caroline!
I'm so glad you enjoy it Thomas, that's such lovely feedback, thank you. I'm working on a 30 minute version of this meditation at the moment, so if you ever feel like you'd like to do it with a little longer in stillness after the talking, it will be the next video I upload I think.
@@carolinemccready ❤️ This incredibly deep, calming approach could be expanded to 45 or 60 minutes for a full, in-depth, weekend retreat “dharma talk” kind of effect, I think. I would immerse myself in it even more than I already do!
Love your voice. So relaxing
I'm glad to hear that James
Excellent thanks
3 weeks later, I’m still doing this meditation as much as i can because i know how much it helps me, thank you again Caroline💗
I’m so glad to hear that Ella. You’re so welcome ❤️
I don't usually sleep very well but this morning I think I was doing the breathing this way. I was so deep in I did not feel the sciatic pain in my side. It was so peaceful.
That's wonderful to hear Kathy!

Thank you Caroline!
I found your CD via your homepage, on Amazon. Just added them to my basket and will be ordering them next time I've gathered a few other items on Amazon. Have a great Sunday evening and wish you a good week!
@@livingahumanlife2651 the tracks on the CDs are all now on the channel, so only buy the CDs if you’d like a physical copy ☺️ (I’m not sure if Amazon prime FBA delivers to Norway, but if you go into the selling options there’s a an option that ships globally).
@@carolinemccready Yeah I saw you've put them all on YT, but sometimes I just want an original copy to keep. I'm a photographer and creator of different creative arts myself so giving back to like-minded people is a pleasure to me😊 Shipping and everything is in order on Amazon. Thanks for your concerns Caroline.
@@livingahumanlife2651 brilliant, thank you so much. That's lovely to have your support
Wonderful, your best yet❤️.

Hi @LalaCat D, I'm so happy to hear that and you're very welcome. I've been so wanted to get some new content up and it's all taking a lot longer than I hoped. It makes me happy to know there are still undiscovered meditations being discovered. New content coming soon though! :)

Lovely...thank you.🐦
You’re very welcome Stella
I love your videos. Very soothing and peaceful. I wondered if you do any without music. I love your voice and enjoy the content but I think I'm one of those meditators that like no music. It feeds my easily distracted mind. Many thanks though for your gift of relaxation. 👍
I'm so glad you enjoy them @G O'Sullivan. Yes there are a few meditations without music in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLAPgnnVY9ej4o4X9D0eyW4TR2laz-3mVS.html
There's also this meditation with just ocean waves, no music: th-cam.com/video/yPebkk7xjF0/w-d-xo.html
I'm planning on uploading more without music over the next couple of months. If you have any favourites on the channel that you'd like without music or just with nature sounds, please let me know :)
thank you
You're welcome Charlena
