Heavy Blanket Meditation | For Dementia Carers

Send us Fan MailThe Heavy Blanket Meditation is a gentle, grounding practice for unpaid carers, designed to offer deep comfort and a sense of safety.Using the imagery of a warm, weighted blanket, this meditation supports the nervous system to slow down, release tension, and feel held — particularly helpful during times of exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, or when caring for someone living with dementia feels like a little too much.This episode is for carers who need reassurance, rest, and permission to pause — even briefly.Find a comfortable position, press play, and allow yourself to settle into calm and ease.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.
