This isn’t just about listening... it’s about experiencing!
Are you looking for a podcast that helps you to stay grounded in the busy world of doing?
Or maybe to enhance meaningful connection with a loved one?
Or to give you the tools for surfing the urges you’d rather not give in to?
Or something else that’s equally as awesome?
These podcasts are about making a difference. You get to benefit with what matters to you, and in turn, it has a knock-on effect in the lives of others.
Be Part of the Change is a Mindful Creation production hosted by Reuben Lowe.
Reuben is the founder of both Mindful Creation and our charity ACT On It which helps people to be part of the positive change that’s going on in the world right now.

Anyhow, we decided to work on blending meditative spoken word with this particular song, Awakening. And, we came up with the following.

She Believed Her Mind
Welcome back to this podcast series. The focus here is on a make believe case study of someone called Melanie. She believes that she is a bad person because of the thoughts she is experiencing. We thought we'd share it with you as we've had lots of people contact us and saying how helpful it is. Being part of the change can sometimes involve learning about the way our minds work, as well as getting a bit of distance from the judgements that they give us.

Gratitude: The Power of 20 Seconds
We’re going to explore a little neuroscience on the practice of gratitude and why 20 seconds is so relevant for the intention we bring to some of the things we are grateful for. Gratitude involves noticing the goodness in other people and the outside world. We know the brain changes with experience, so the more that gratitude is practiced, the more the brain grows and learns to tune in to the good things in the world. It’s now very well established and replicated many times over that a practice of gratitude is associated with better mood, better sleep, less fatigue as well as some physical health benefits. Let's do this!

She Broke Up With Him
This is a random make believe case study about a girl who eventually breaks up with her partner because he tries to control her. This was chosen because controlling relationships are so common in our everyday lives. Sally is in a controlling relationship with her boyfriend, Sam. She eventually gains the power to break up with her partner. Reuben talks us through the process of exactly what is happening between them both. We get to explore the reasons why we get caught up in unhelpful patterns of behaviour in controlling relationships, and with insight, how this can help us break out of them and back into a life of freedom.
