Be in Love

 Sharing this beautiful poem today from . . .  Love by Donna Ashworth

Be In Love

Be in love with your life
every minute
it's your trail
blaze it and blaze it brightly

Be in love with yourself
think of how you'd like to be loved
and make it happen
show the way for others

Be in love with your partner
really love them 
as if there were no tomorrow
and all you have is 
right here right now

Be in love with your home
never mind the mess
the things you don't like
pour some sparkle
on what you have

Be in love with your family
none are perfect
but they are your blood
and your history
you need each other in this life

Be in love with your job
look at all the positives
and be thankful you have it
if you can't
then change it
life's too short

Be in love with being in love
create that life
full of friendship
stolen kisses
unnecessary hugs
food for the soul

Retreat . . . Replenish . . . Refresh . . . Recharge . . .

 


We all need to take precious time out of our busy schdeules and diaries and make time for ourselves.

Self-care time is an essential aspect of being able to maintian our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual sense of wellbeing. 

So what do you do to relax? Does it recharge you or replenish you?

Going to a retreat gives you time and space away from your normal environment, a space to be, a place to switch off from all that is going on at home and at work . . . it gives you time to deeply re-connect with yourself, to discover new layers within you . . . time out . . . time to be.

Maybe join us on one of our Yoga and Sacred Sound retreats this year ~ in the UK or France.

No prior experience necessary ~ we warmly invite you to simply dive into something new for you to enjoy.

Saying Goodbye to 2022

         Saying Goodbye to 2022

As 2022 begins to draw to it's finale, it's always a good time to reflect upon what positives you can take from throughout the year. Everyday is different, every year is different . . . nothing stays the same.

It's helpful to review all the positive aspects, all the learnings, discoveries & challenges you have been able to overcome or draw strength from.

These become your foundation for flowing into the New Year.
Things we can now begin to put in practice, all we have learnt . . . to help us progress, develop & mature in new & different ways. 

So just let go of what you no longer need from 2022 and focus on what positive new steps will move you into the new 2023 ahead.

As you let go, then more space is created for fresh new thinsg to come instead.

Happy reflection, will inspire a Happy New Year

Many Blessings
Harshani & Edwin

New Healing Intentions

 

Life Moves on, Nothing stays the same, everything changes all the time.
So why do we get so stuck, unable to move on from the past & get so weighed down by life itself.
What our beautiful minds choose to focus on, we begin to manifest in our reality.
We need to have compassion towards our mind, especially when it gets stuck & keeps turning over the same worries, anxieties & negative experiences.
These can change, with patience, compassion, awareness, understanding, wisdom & forgiveness ~ healing can be possible. It is part of nature, we are simply vibration & everything ultimately is an energy of vibration too ~ so as nature shows us the way of change & difference, so too can we learn to flow with this too.
The deepest roots in healing are embedded in pure unconditional love.
That same unconditional Divine Love is there for us all, but requires complete Faith, Belief & Trust

Stoptober Non-Smoking Support

For those of you who have chosen the Stoptober month of October 2014 as your time to Stop Smoking ~ then congratulations you are 1/4 of the way already there in readiness for National No Smoking Day!
 
Keep going!
 
Each and every smoke free day is a success . . . however big or small it might seem ~ remember that it is an achievement!
 
It is really positive reinforcement of being able to say "No" to each thought, craving or offering of a cigarette . . . and every time you do you should tell yourself "Well Done!" inside your head, to acknowledge it as a success.
We all need positive encouragement & reinforcement around change, to support more of it!
 Stopping smoking is a mindset, so create a strong supportive mindset that you can do it, you can keep going and become a non-smoker for yourself, for your family, for LIFE!
 
I encourage my client who come to see me for Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking, to speak to as many ex-smokers that they know and discover how they did it . . . what was their biggest motivation . . . what helped them . . . what didn't help them . . . what advice and support can they give you . . . what benefits have they enjoyed since stopping smoking . . . all these thoughts and learnings may help you decide what it will be for you to mean that you can do it too!
 
* Have a clear strong motivation in your mind.
* Plan strategies of what you will do instead of smoking.
* Save up the money you would have spent, so you can see the result financially too.
* Have some sugar free mints to hand.
* Keep yourself busy.
* Notice the differences in health improvements to increase health motivation.
* Find other ways to relax ~ Tai Chi, Yoga, Meditation, Walking, Reading . . .
* Think of yourself as a non-smoker.
 
So with those in mind, may I wish every Stoptober participant every success and long may it continue throughout the rest of the year and beyond!

Gardening for the Soul

Last year my husband Edd and I had the greatest pleasure of taking part in The Big Allotment Challenge ~ which is being screened on BBC2 8.00pm on Tuesday 15th April.

We had an amazing 4 months of tending a brand new allotment, creating, designing and growing in our own special style, amongst the other 8 wonderful teams taking part.

What a journey indeed . . . both of us being very keen gardeners with our home patch, growing and turning our produce into wonderful tasty meals, chutneys, jams, jellys, vinegars etc etc ~ we rose too the challenge of creating an allotment from nothing . . . to a tight time scale.

Gardening is truly good for your soul . . . it get's you in tune with nature, the seasons and brings a deep sense of grounding on all levels of beingness.
Edd and I have planted by the phases of the moon, following Biodynamic Gardening calendars for around 5 years now, which is such a beautiful way of planting organically.
As a Cognitive Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master and Integral Yoga teacher I wholeheartedly encourage my clients and students to find their connection with nature to help them find a sense of balance in their lives. Gardening can help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression ~ supporting a deeper sense of wellbeing on all levels of being ~ physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
And what can be even nicer than nurturing plants, being outdoors and enjoying nature ~ but to then grow things you can eat and enjoy seasonally and organically, just as you'd like them to be.
You just can't beat the flavours and freshness of picking your own produce that you have tended throughout the year.

So enjoy the show and be inspired to grow something new yourselves too!
Whatever size garden, patio, allotment or even on a windowsill you can always grow something ~ whether flowers, herbs, fruits or veggies all can bring you such a deep sense of achievment having sown and grown it yourself.

Happy National Gardening Week . . .

Om Shanti

Harshani and Edd
