A New Beginning Meditation | For Dementia Carers

Send us Fan MailThis New Year's Day special for unpaid carers offers a gentle, grounding breath awareness practice — a quiet way to begin the year without pressure or expectation.In this short meditation, you're invited to simply notice the breath: the cool air as you breathe in through the nose, and the warm air as you breathe out through the mouth. If the mind wanders, that's okay — you'll gently return to the breath, again and again.For carers supporting someone living with dementia, a new year can bring as much anxiety as hope. This meditation asks nothing of you — there's nothing to change, nothing to achieve. Just a few minutes of steady breathing and calm presence to begin the year exactly as you are.Suitable for anyone supporting someone living with dementia, whether at home or in a professional care role.If you’ve found this meditation helpful and would like to support the Carers’ Meditation Podcast, you can now make a small donation through our GoodHub page.
