Meditate in May

Meditate in May
in aid of Nepal Earthquake Appeal
Guest Guide
Meditate in May is a one month non-profit project
inspired by ‘Pay it Forward’ to share simple
meditation techniques throughout the month of May
and invite donations for the Nepal Earthquake
Appeal.
The project is not linked to any particular
organisation or religion and invites contributions from
individuals or meditation teachers who would like to
submit a guided meditation.
All you need to do is submit an 8-10 minute audio
file together with a favourite photo. See below for
details.

Suggested four step format:
1. Say a few words at the beginning and introduce yourself
You might like to mention a connection you have with Nepal or meditation, where you live in
the world and where you are making the recording.
2. Share a helpful tip for someone starting to meditate
e.g. “My top tip for someone starting to meditate is to have a straight back, or not to worry
about posture, just be comfortable”
3. Lead a 8-10 minute meditation on the subject of your choosing
Keep it simple! Popular subjects include breathing meditation, gratitude, love, compassion,
and mindfulness. It doesn’t matter if someone has already lead a meditation on the same
subject during Meditate in May. You can’t have too much love, compassion and peace!
4. Finish your meditation with a thought for the day, or by sharing a favourite quotation
Share something the listener can take with them and think about throughout the day.
How to submit
By submitting a meditation you are donating it without condition to use in the Meditate in May
project. There is no guarantee your meditation will be featured, however we will do our best to
feature all suitable submissions. Please send your recording together with a favourite photo to
[email protected]. Alternatively you can upload the file(s) to a service like
