Wellbeing Practices

As nurses and midwives we have significant expertise in communicating our support and compassion to others, and yet we sometimes fail to show that to ourselves. The resources below enable stillness, moments just to ‘be’ – to bring healing and loving kindness to ourselves so we can continue to share it with others. We use many of these practices in the Queen’s Nurse programme. As we are all different, some things will appeal to you and others will not resonate at all. Therefore, you are invited to take (and share) anything you find useful.

Three meditations:

Capacitar practices for wellbeing:
