5-Minute Meditation For Inner Peace & Harmony

Meditation is the perfect way to reduce stress and help you take time to care for yourself -especially on those days when your spirit is low and you feel lost and alone.

So, I invite you to sit in a comfortable position, where your body feels supported.

Gently close your eyes and take your time to settle your body and find your breath.

In that dark space behind your eyes, imagine a candle glowing brightly.

Well, I think we can safely say, 2020 is a year we will all remember…

Byeeeee 2020

A year where we came face to face with our shadows and insecurities and made choices which at the beginning of the year where not on our agenda!

We know the value of spiritual teachings and yoga philosophy as tools for ethical living, and I for one have had to dig deep to stay present and “accept the truth: it is what it is.”

Anyways…

As we approach the end of this year,

Today’s post is an extract from my morning meditation practice, which I adapted from a Poetry Prompt, Reflection Time by Lucy Eggcademic and offer to you as a guided meditation script for personal use.

Basically, for my Reflection Time, I journal for twenty-six minutes and during that time I engage in a meditation practice and then reflect on my thoughts and insights.

This morning, for my Twenty-Six Minutes I practiced a 5 Senses Meditation.

Here’s what I observed during my practice.

Spiritual Self-Love – Taking Care Of Yourself

Taking care of yourself is key to feeling good and living a full life.

A life that fuels you and enables you to have the energy to do the things which matter most to you.

However, poor health, social conditioning and being people pleasers, drain your energy and prevent you flourishing and feeling your best.

It’s not your fault.

It is just the way life is.

So, today’s post is to a gentle reminder  to take care of yourself

Spiritual Self-Love: How to be Good to Yourself

Spiritual Self-Love: How to be Good to Yourself

By 1 Comment

Spiritual self-love is all about being good to yourself,  learning to be comfortable in your skin; to love, honour, appreciate and accept all of yourself… The “good parts” and the “not-so-good parts.”

It is to smile in the mirror, love your reflection, hug yourself and quietly accept and know that you will get through all difficulties with grace.

How to Practice Gratitude Daily (Even if You Feel Depressed)

How to Practice Gratitude Daily (Even if You Feel Depressed)

It’s weird, init.

Years ago, before I got into all this spiritual work, I didn’t even know  “being grateful” was so powerful and to practice gratitude daily was a thing!

Sure, mum and dad brought me up to say “please and thank you” and to “be grateful for what you’ve got”.

But, as a teen, whenever that expression “be grateful, be thankful for what you’ve got” was used, I blew a fuse… ?

I saw the expression used as a platitude to keep me in my place, don’t ask or expect more from life, just sit down and be thankful for what you’ve got.

My desire for more freedom, to expand and explore life beyond the confines of “what I’ve got” silently grew in my heart.

And then, when I discovered athletics, the joy and freedom of beating the clock and speeding like a gazelle down the home straight, fuelled my desire for more. [Read more…] about How to Practice Gratitude Daily (Even if You Feel Depressed)
