Regular meditation could save headaches when you next move.

Regular meditation could save your sanity during your next house move.

Change is always challenging, and moving house can be a time of great stress for a lot of people.

But meditation coach Tom Cronin, founder of the Stillness Project, says it doesn't have to be this way.

"No matter what the ocean is doing on the surface, whether it's whopping great eight-foot-high seas being whipped up by a wild storm, at the very depth of the ocean there's still stillness," Mr Cronin says.

He recommends regular meditation leading up to a house move to keep a sense of consistency through a time of disruption.

"Cleaning the toilet doesn't give you the same level of serotonin and oxytocin released into your system than if you're cuddling by a log fire with someone you love. But what happens when we meditate for long periods of time is that we get this wonderful trickle of serotonin and oxytocin into our system. We transcend those barriers of separation where that action is going to lead to this experience or this response."

"I'm feeling blissed out whether I'm packing a box or shifting a fridge or throwing away these ridiculous socks that I've had at the bottom of my socks drawer for the last 12 years of my life, so it doesn't really matter. You'll actually find it quite liberating."
