Meditation and Relaxations CDs
Mindful meditation is a powerful tool for handling stress and anxiety in your life.
In these CDs, Australian psychologist Dr Lisbeth Lane guides you through the basics of mindfulness, allowing you to find some peace from your busy thoughts. These simple exercises help you to take things one day at a time so you can focus more easily on the present, rather than worrying about the past or fearing the future.
Listen online or order a free copy of this CD by calling Cancer Council on 13 11 20.
