Izzy and Light Watkins look at how meditation can help us to live in the present. Light is a mindfulness expert, best-selling author and transformational speaker who leads a guided meditation which encourages us to embrace the now, using present moment awareness to lessen worries about the past or concerns for the future.

The music that soundtracks Light's guided meditation was composed by Zoe Dixon and recorded by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra exclusively for this episode. If you’re brand new to meditation or you've tried it before, this series is the perfect place to pick it up from.
