New from Robinanne Lavelle
Life Sorted.
A kitchen-table guide to mindfulness, meditation and quietly running your life.
8 audio meditations included
What you'll find inside
Eight gentle sessions
One a week. Stillness, time, motion, the mindful day, visualisation, wellbeing, the inner life and bringing it home.
Eighteen exercises
Small things to try in your day, designed to be folded into the life you already lead.
Eight guided meditations
Recorded in my own voice, so you can close your eyes and let me lead you through.
What is Life Sorted?
Life Sorted is an eight-session course in book and audio form, written for anyone whose life feels a touch too busy, too noisy or too far from the person they meant to be.
It is not a religious book, though it borrows from many traditions. It is not a productivity book, though you will be more productive when you have finished it. It is not a self-help book of the kind that promises a new life in thirty days, though I do believe you can change your life in three weeks if you are willing.
It is the kind of book a kindly aunt might press into your hands across a kitchen table.
Welcome
Have you ever stood at the kitchen sink, washing dishes, only to realise your mind has been a hundred miles away the whole time? I know I have!
For years I would rush through the washing up just to get to the next thing and the next and the next. Sound familiar?
A monk once told me that any chore done with full attention is a meditation. He said the dishes don’t mind whether you’re present or absent, but you do - your nervous system is paying the price either way. So why not pay it kindly?
Pull up a chair. Put the kettle on. Let me tell you what nearly fifty years of meditation has taught me about how to live a quieter, clearer, more useful life - and how you can begin in the time it takes to brew a cuppa.

Who this is for
You don’t need a quiet life to have a quiet mind. A quiet mind is a skill. You can build it the way you build any other skill - a little each day, in the place where you already are, with the time you already have.
This course has helped:
- New parents trying to find five minutes that belong to them
- Self-employed people running small businesses
- Upper school students drowning in their lockers
- Adults living with ADHD who have never been able to sit still
- People recovering from grief, divorce or a hard year
- Quietly stressed workers who can’t tell anyone they’re not coping
If any of that sounds like you, you are very welcome here.
A short word from Robinanne
I have been using mindfulness and meditation for many decades and have come to know the real benefits derived from practising daily. I do not promise you a new life in thirty days. I do promise that if you can give the practice three weeks, it begins to do its own work. Be patient and resolute. Just keep persevering.
Stay in touch
I send a short note now and then with a small reflection, a new audio practice or a quiet bit of news. No clutter. You can unsubscribe whenever it stops being useful.
Be patient. Be resolute. I am so glad you came.
