This mindfulness audio guide is a journey. It takes you 31 days if you want to do it by day or less than three hours if you want to do it in one sitting. As a mindfulness and meditation teacher, I'm always interested in seeing and experiencing new mindfulness material. This is perfect for the beginner. It has a gentle and approachable style, making it easy to follow. The guide introduces foundational mindfulness concepts in a clear and engaging way. Each session builds on the previous one, allowing for gradual growth in awareness and presence. Whether you choose to pace it over 31 days or complete it in one sitting, the structure ensures a meaningful experience. The narrator's soothing voice enhances the journey, making it a great starting point for anyone new to mindfulness

If you are a mindfulness teacher and would like a place to point your students so that they can have a day of practice without you, then point them to this resource.


It provides a structured, accessible way for students to practice independently while still benefiting from guided instruction. The pacing and content ensure they stay engaged and build their mindfulness skills effectively.

Daily Mindfulness on audio is a hard book to rate. I started out at a 3 star, but when mulling it over I'm moving it up to a 4 star. Alex Smith-Powell has nice tips on how to reign in chaos in your brain through very short, concise assignments over the course of a month. Each days work, on audio, lasted about 2 to 3 minutes. Some things were new to me, most were not, but a nice reminder. My hesitation is the medium. This very brief hook of 'hey, in 2 minutes here's what you can do' probably works better in a printed form. For an audio book, I found the segments too quick. Just when my brain could shift to the topic, the topic was over. I started out taking notes, but that got old and felt like too much work. I would recommend this one, but not on audio. Interesting (to me) side point was as a listener I decided to find out more about the author and her credentials. I found this almost an impossible task and have very little idea if the person giving the advice is qualified in any way other than being able to write short bursts of wisdom.

A big thank you to Victory Editing and NetGalley for the audiobook!

Daily Mindfulness is segmented in 31 chapters each under 3 minutes, with brief tips on the practice of mindfulness. As the chapters progress, the focus within the topic of mindfulness become more and more specific.

The 3-minute chapters were very digestible with some really insightful perspectives on our emotional landscapes; the focus always came back to the idea of observation over judgement, recognising our energy patterns, and seeing our emotions as part of an ecosystem, which was a comparison I found to be very helpful. The guide also included practical tips on how to manage triggers (such as directing procrastination into tasks that bring one forward).

I will be returning to this audiobook, because I learned so much, and will definitely be incorporating the practices I learned. A big bonus goes to the appeasing narration!

All in all, it's a 5-star audiobook from me, and I will be recommending this!

This was a quick audiobook listen. It can be consumed in a sitting or broken up into daily meditations. Packed full of thoughts on boundaries, self awareness/care/reflection it will be helpful to the beginner to mindfulness as with the more advanced practice. I highly recommend this book and will go back and start it for daily mindfulness practice

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC and to the author.

A useful little guidebook to keep you company on a month-long mindfulness journey. This contains the basics, and is best to have it with you in physical form, so that you can open it any time you need a pinch of focus.

A great few minutes reminder everyday to bring you back to your fullest potential and energy. The only improvement I would say is the narrator. If a physical book was issues with audio book it would make it more enjoyable and accessible.

If you’re new to mindfulness you may gain a lot from this short audiobook, personally for me there was nothing new, but it was a nice little reminder to always come back to centre. I’ll keep it as a little go to, the short daily tasks are a nice simple way to refresh and rebalance. This is the type of book that would be handy to carry around in your bag. So I suppose having the audio to carry round in your device is much the same.

Nicely narrated and well structured.

My gratitude to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the opportunity to review this ALC 🎧

This should be a good book to physically read but audiobooking it just felt like little daily chapters of tasks. I’ve read a few mindfulness books and I didn’t learn anything new but it’s handy!
Thanks NetGalley for letting me read and review.
