Practice · Guided recording
Everyone seeks something different, and you don't need an answer straight away. Follow a guided recording (in Cantonese) to explore what matters to you; seeing what comes up is the start.
Stuck at any step? Tap the top-right corner and ask ForestSage.To explore meaning, you can let your mind settle first, then ask, with curiosity and without judgement: what matters to me? Everyone seeks something different; the answer might be the people around you, work you care about, learning and growing, or doing something for others.
When you feel lost or too busy to remember what it's all for, you mostly think about what to do. Getting quiet and asking what matters makes it easier to see the direction busyness covers, and to fit one small step into this week.
Thinking about meaning and direction can stir up loss, emptiness or regret. That's common; if it gets too much, come back to your breath, or stop at any point. If you keep feeling that life has no meaning, please talk to someone first; the hotlines are answered around the clock.
This practice isn't therapy. If feeling lost or low has gone on for a while, working on it with a counsellor will take you further.
There's growing research on mindfulness and meaning in life: some researchers propose that mindfulness widens attention, making it easier to notice what is meaningful in daily life (Garland and colleagues, 2015). This is a single practice, not therapy.
The recording is in Cantonese and led by TreeholeHK's mindfulness teacher: about 13 minutes of practice, about 16 minutes in all. The practice ends with bells; after that the teacher talks about it, which you can skip.
All nine guided recordings can also be streamed or downloaded free from Guided Mindfulness Recordings.
The before and after ratings, the choice afterwards and the final line are our additions, so you can compare and take something away; the recording keeps its original method.
