One of the most confusing parts of Meditation for most is how? And top of the how list is...literally...how?!

My ideal that I would advise in my trainings would be to sit comfortably, eyes closed, back supported, head free. But, the MOST IMPORTANT part of Meditation is meditating.

Getting it done. Whatever way, how ever long that needs to be, each day. I am particular about Meditation being stillness, Mindfulness Techniques, meditative activities are amazing but " my meditation is my running " doesn't cut it for me. Yes amazing but do mindful movement techniques too! Anyway that's a post for another day!!

For now, maybe this is just a timely reminder in the mayhem of summer that we are PRIMARILY concerned with just getting your Meditation done! Time exclusively experiencing yourself without external distraction, every day.

I've a new Learn to Meditate 3x evening course coming up in September if you are curious about the hows and whys. Big love x

And sunshine is really good lighting...👌🏼

Having HD goggles on for life's great exhibition is a nice repercussion of practicing awareness on a daily basis (meditation).

Drink in all the deliciousness of Summer my friends, it's really showing off and we just need to sit back and inhale it's beauty!!

Here to demystify the lie that everyone just 'loves' to go for a run. I don't, ever. But moving my butt in this cardio, child like, free way is incredibly good for my body and mind.

There are so many people that make it look easy. I don't. I'm here to show you it looking... realistic. But I did it.

Oh and as always my reminder...a few K is OK!!!

No marathon dreams here ✌🏼

Non- Olympic Fitness.

No grand goals. Just elevated heart rate and sweat wins.

Reminding you what you DON'T need to Meditate.

In a world that is driving us crazy with it's noise, intensity, demands - we need space to experience ourselves.

But, one of the biggest blockers is thinking we need utter science and the perfect spot to do it.

We drop down, drop in and let the rest of the world drop away for a few minutes. So that we can then manage our interaction with the world SO MUCH BETTER once our eyes open.

LEARN TO MEDITATE - Online 3x evenings in Sep ❤️

Week 1!

Wandering, Pondering, Playing, Beaching, Singing & Dancing in the grass and drinking up my amazing, fun, funny little kiddos whist simultaneously being bone acheingly exhausted from solo parenting. This parenting lark isn't easy but it is also such a privilege to be their world (for now!) and have the power to make that world a happy place.

This is my 3rd Summer Switch off and although I have so much I should be DOING.......BEING in this precious way with the kids, the sun, the slow down of Summer - is an absolute gift. The noise of shoulds is so much quieter this year - like each Summer peals off a layer of influence and affirms my knowing that this precious period where they want me, they only want simple family fun....IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD.

If you are feeling the fleeting years slip by too fast, maybe include more no. No to things where possible and allow space even in Summee weekends and evenings to just be rebelliously slow, simple and sweet. Aware, present, in love.

Meditations - did happen, but obviously not as deliciously silent as this morning now that a weekend of help has landed.

Hope your Summer has kicked off as mundanely magic and if not, throw some more NOs around the place. Design a life you love, on purpose xxx

What is not wrong?

In a world hyper fixated on fixing, what if you were to be a rebellious little badass and spend time every day focusing, remembering, noticing what is NOT wrong...what does not need maxxxxing, improving or changing.

The sweet satisfaction that times gone by felt. Before the world of comparison was in our hands.

As always hold screen or save for later to digest this properly thichnhathanh gold that deserves time.

Santosha us Yogis call it, contentment.
Joy with what...is. Mx

#meditation #lifecoaching #awareness #gratitude #power ...

The antidote to the faux empowerment of 'Resilience' is awareness.

We don't want our baseline existence to be maxxing to the max. Keeping us busy is helps us to keep missing the point and certain systems are happy for us to hamster wheel to oblivion.

Rebellious slowness, capacity discernment and the art of NO ... are the way forward.

Everyone's innate capacity is different, everyone's support systems or lack there of - are different, so we need to start assessing our own individual bandwidth. And working to that, well working to less than that.

Most people I work with are too busy to think, feel or even know who/what they are. There is a quiet revolution happening where people are demanding less. I can help you with that.

But to be accessible in an interwebs post - perhaps start by trying tech free time every day, minutes doing nothing with no one and intentional pauses in the day when you are about to dive into more.

Coaching used to give me the ick. All that goal shouting and blind running forward. No.

Until I realised I could harness it's power for good. Using my couple of decades practice/teaching of ancient wisdom traditions to help you first know WHAT success feeeels like to you. The foundations.

Then, we design our way to get there. The strategy.

Too many people/coaches/self help/ motivational content/things/people are focused on the "goal". And not FIRST on what the very specific goal looks like to you. Deciding that is not only liberating, rebellious and exciting but it points the compass in the right direction to begin with!

#lifedesign #lifecoach #meditation #insight #personaldevelopment ...

Somtimes we just need a simple little silly solo afternoon. With so many 'fixes' at our finger tips you know I'll always implore you to tune IN to what you really need, the individual YOU.

And sometimes the answer isn't a complex wellbeing routine overhaul or dramatic change... it can be just ditching routine and giving yourself a little afternoon that makes you simply FEEL better!

Not deep. Not richly transformative. Not trending or stastically recommended.

Meditation gives you the answers, Life Design Coaching gives you the stategy, confidence, knowing to do what you need.

Major and minor needs!! Mx

You are not going to - heal, find clarity, decide, understand, process or 'fix' the thing.......by doing more.

If you're 'doing' all the right things the internet is telling you to DO and nothings changing....
Change it up. Do less, move inward. Take a powerful pause and see the magic happen!

My current hair LOVE routine in 10 seconds!
Whimsical Wellbeing - a series that's not too serious.

I forgot an important pre-wash step and to insert the shower bit (content queen 🤣) but drop a ❤️ below and I'll ping you my list of products and steps. This is a low damage, little heat routine that brings the healing whilst giving a little ooommmfff to your mane!

"Your hair is your crown and glory!"
Quote from my OG influencer Granny Berna. But there is something to be said for how we FEEL when we have fesh hair/scalp and full healthy hair.

My hair has been through the mill with post partum loss, too much bleach, damage so I've done my research but... always disclaimer that I am no hairfluencer or tricologist!

Dogs Bark. Whales Swim. Plants Grow. Frogs Jump.

Humans...well we ignore our innate natural tendancies, we maladapt to technology by trying to keep up with it....by listening to it assess us ( tracking devices)....by competing with it....by turning to it rather than each other or ourselves! The list goes on...

Humans need to human being more. Simples. Not human doing excessively to assimilate the unachievable productivity of technology.

The remedy for the MANY symptoms we are seeing in our collective is simple....return to our inherent human nature. Return, come home, be....

Humans Being ( more )

Sunday Evening Reminder : YOU GOT THIS 🤘🏻
&.........

One song can spark a moment
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest
One bird can herald spring
One smile begins a friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each journey
One word must start each prayer
One hope will raise our spirits
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with wisdom
One heart can know what’s true
One life can make the difference

You see, it’s up to you!!

Reject Optimisation.

Relish rest.

Show others (and especially our mini humans) that being busy is not life's aim! It's the opposite.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Life Coaching?

As I start to wind down my current clients ahead of my summer semi switch off, I thought this clip from a Corporate Wellbeing intro was a nice little window into what I do in this area of my work!

Obviously everything is quietly underpinned by the philosophical foundations of my studies but it's also combined with decades of practical project management experience. Heart & Head. Essentially my passion is making ancient wisdom traditions both accessible and impactful to the modern lived experience!

To help you feel better.
To live on purpose, by design.
To elevate all those spaces inbetween.
Most of us need support now, more than ever.

I have a couple of power hour slots left in June (online/in-person) and then will be taking expressions of interest for those wanting to embark on a supported season of change come end of Aug/Sep. And for any Corporate Clients who are looking to reenergise their teams with some clarity, efficiency and realignment sessions. Always a time that feels more New Year than New Years!
