This gentle guided meditation for unpaid carers invites you to slow down and appreciate the small, often overlooked joys of everyday life.
Using the simple imagery of taking the first sip of a warm drink, this practice encourages presence, gratitude, and mindful appreciation — a reminder that calm can be found in the most ordinary moments.
For carers supporting someone living with dementia, those ordinary moments are often the ones that sustain you. This meditation helps you notice and hold onto them.
Suitable for anyone supporting someone living with dementia, whether at home or in a professional care role.
