A Dharma Meditation Beyond Overthinking

Stevens new course: Finding Peace in Everyday Life (you choose how much to pay)

A Dharma Meditation Beyond Overthinking

This guided meditation gently blends spoken reflection with quiet awareness, offering a way to move beyond the restless swirl of thoughts without trying to stop them. You will be invited to notice the momentum of thinking, like a flywheel or a passing train, and then return attention to the simplicity of the body and the present moment.

Rather than fixing or fighting the mind, this Dharma talk meditation brings a sense of ease and acceptance. With soft encouragement, lovingkindness, and a gentle re-entry, it helps you remember that peace is not something you chase. It is something you return to by stepping out of thought and into now.

Short guided meditations for people who cannot meditate.

That is not a joke, it is the actual brief. If you have ever tried one of these and spent the whole time thinking about whether you were doing it right, then went back to scrolling, these are for you.

I am Steven Webb. I have ADHD and dyslexia, and my mind has never once gone quiet. I stopped trying to make it. That turned out to be the whole thing.

You do not have to empty your head. You never did. The thoughts are not the problem, your relationship with them is.

Most of these run around fourteen minutes. Morning ones to start the day a bit lighter. Evening ones to let the day settle. Some for anxiety, some for anger, some for the nights when sleep is not happening.

No complicated breathing. No visualisations you cannot hold. No promises about who you will be in thirty days.

Free, and staying free.

Steven Webb has been paralysed from the chest down since 1991. He teaches from the mess, not from the mountaintop.
