A special episode of Mindful Music as part of ABC Classic’s Festival of Female Composers, featuring a glorious selection of music by female composers that sits as a backdrop as Greta takes you through a process of cultivating self compassion. Breaking it down into three gentle steps, the music provides an anchor point for you, as you cultivate kindness towards yourself, based on the research of psychologist and self compassion expert, Dr. Kristin Neff. 

Mindful Music is designed to offer you time to explore your thoughts, feelings, and values without the distraction of constant activity. Ironically, time spent this way can help support your 'doing' at a higher level than it might otherwise be. It's almost like doing less can help you achieve more. Creating a place for solace and any positive opportunity's it offers for introspection. 

Unwind and find solace in the power of music, grounded in psychology. Created and presented by registered psychologist and musician, Greta Bradman, Mindful Music focuses on wellbeing content, and at the very heart of it is a thoughtfully chosen repertoire that creates a mindful atmosphere for relaxation and introspection.

You can read more about how music can be used as a powerful tool to help you in this article, "Using the power of music through your wellbeing journey". An explainer that shows more reasons and ways that music is good for the highs and the lows, how music can influence the way you feel and tips to help harness the power of music.
