About The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard

The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard is a short daily podcast offering stillness, clarity and spiritual grounding - a moment of calm in a busy, noisy world. Hosted by Brother Richard, a Capuchin Franciscan friar and meditation teacher, each episode draws on the Christian monastic contemplative tradition, one of the oldest continuous meditative practice in the world. With warmth, simplicity and deep humanity, Brother Richard offers reflections and guided meditations shaped for modern life. These meditations are open to people of all faiths, and to those with none. No belief is required - only a few quiet minutes and a willingness to pause, breathe and be present, whether taking a pause during the day or winding down before sleep. Brother Richard belongs to the Capuchin community in Dublin, Ireland, where a life of prayer and meditation has been practiced every day for over 400 years. This podcast carries that living tradition forward, translating ancient wisdom into a form that speaks to contemporary experience.

Awareness Meditation: Becoming Present to the Here and Now

Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It sounds a simple project, but it can be a very deep work indeed. The more we notice the present moment, the more we anchor ourselves in that moment, the more open we are to encountering the divine. So let's begin. As we enter the time of meditation, just take a moment to check in as to how you are ever before you relax, ever before you begin to descend into the stability of meditation itself. It can be good to recognize what we are bringing with us. This is the first level of awareness. How am I today? Has anything happened that is likely to affect my meditation?
