Over on my @SeasonalMindfulness page, I have been sharing 30 Days of Winter Mindfulness.⁣
⁣
30 days of cultivating awareness (Mindfulness practice) for the many gifts (gratitude practice) of Winter.⁣
⁣
Today .. Day 28 was appreciation for the gift of time to immerse oneself in music! ⁣
⁣
“With inclement weather I found some time recently to dive back into my online music collection .. to re-listen, sort and share some of my favorite music through Spotify.⁣
⁣
I have so many playlists in my life .. for moments that call for soothing and resting, or to energize for mindful movement or ecstatic dance meditation .. playlists that I hope are welcoming when new people arrive for a meditation class, and long playlists that support us through hours on retreats. ⁣
⁣
My music covers various genres .. but with a personal love of contemporary chanting, melodic piano, atmospheric aural beats and some hippy dance tracks!⁣
⁣
Winter days gift us this spaciousness .. where we can find time to rest and listen to all the music that opens and expands us. ⁣
⁣
Music is a gift and a non-negotiable in my life!⁣
⁣
You can listen to some of my favorite ‘chill’ music on my Mindful Isolation Mix that I have made public on Spotify. Enjoy!⁣”⁣

Winter day.⁣
⁣
Lockdown.⁣
⁣
I could complain about the wet. The cold. The lack of light. The misery 😢⁣
⁣
Or I could be mindful of the gifts. The whole morning in bed reading (guilt free), the dog snoozing at my feet and having occasional ‘running dreams’ (adorable), hot coffee and toast (in bed), being brave enough to reach out to a few inspiring people (feels strangely more comfortable writing from bed and pj’s) .. bring cosy and warm and planted!⁣
⁣
The ‘complainer-me’ was someone I got very tired of in the Winter of 2018 and this was what inspired my journey into Seasonal Mindfulness .. @SeasonalMindfulness .. and the FREE Seasonal Living eBook series that you can download via link in bio.⁣
⁣
I might get out of bed soon. Take us all for a walk in the park. Breathe in some fresh air and expand our horizons while in lockdown this weekend (and beyond)⁣
⁣
Stay warm and rested my friends!⁣

I don’t have time!⁣
I’m too busy!⁣
I’m needed elsewhere .. the kids, my partner⁣
I can’t possibly sit still for 15mjnutes!⁣
⁣
Really?⁣
⁣
But I can .. scroll an hour on social media, watch a Netflix marathon, snooze in bed for an extra three rounds of the alarm, play games on my phone, read a couple of trashy magazines .. etc etc⁣
⁣
Might as well say .. ⁣
⁣
I really can’t invest 15 minutes for my own clarity and sense of well-being, to reconnect with myself (and the world around me), to put down the heavy mental ‘load’ of my day, to ensure I sleep a little better, to clear my mind before making an important decision, or allow a moment of self-care, kindness and compassion for myself - before I give myself to others.⁣
⁣
Honestly?⁣

I had two lovely online meditation sessions yesterday. Really lovely 🦋⁣
⁣
While I feel that I have been ‘dragged’ into this new online space .. I have tried to engage beginners-mind and find ways to soften into this new ‘sacred space’.⁣
⁣
Yesterday I caught up with a corporate team that I used to see weekly. Our last in-person gathering we took ourselves to a grassy island outside their inner city office. ⁣
⁣
Autumn sunshine, luscious green grass, soft wind and a group of us moving ever so slowly through some Qigong/Mindful Movement practices before taking our silent seat for meditation. It was wonderful!⁣
⁣
Yesterday we sat together via Zoom and spoke about challenging emotions and how very natural it is to have these, whether triggered by the pandemic and isolation, or other regular life events.⁣
⁣
And when the world seems to be testing, pushing or shoving us .. how will we react?⁣
⁣
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” (Viktor Frankle).⁣
⁣
Research shows us that when practiced and applied .. meditation and mindfulness practices can alter our brain and help create this mental SPACE between an event/stimulus and our response to it.⁣
⁣
This is why I meditate, because meditation is a powerful tool to press PAUSE and enter that SPACE.⁣
⁣
If your team would like to explore Meditation and Mindfulness online training .. reach out.⁣
⁣
I believe meditation is a ‘life skill’ that everyone can learn.⁣

Love this idea.⁣
⁣
Most of the time we are rarely ‘doing’ what we’re doing.⁣
⁣
Most of the time we are somewhere else .. or scattered in many different places.⁣
⁣
When we walk .. we rarely just walk. Instead it’s earphones with music or podcasts, or mind chatter or mind arguments, stories, ruminating or planning.⁣
⁣
Very rarely are we JUST walking when we walk. Just eating, when we’re eating. Just lifting weights when at the gym. ⁣
⁣
Could it be that simple - finding inner peace, insight and happiness just by being fully present to what we are doing in the moment?⁣
⁣
Give it a try today. ⁣
⁣
What one thing could you be COMPLETELY with - and DO IT just to DO IT?⁣

The Gift of Light.⁣
⁣
The simple lighting of a candle can be an incredibly powerful ritual to bring ‘light’ into our life. ⁣
⁣
Did you know that candle is also an embodiment of the five elements - earth, water, air, fire and spirit. ⁣
⁣
*the wick signifying earth and the keeper of the flame⁣
*the wax emulating the transformational properties of the water element⁣
*oxygen, is the air element crucial for keeping the flame⁣
*the flame itself a direct connection to the fire element of transformation and rebirth⁣
*and our intention is the fifth element of spirit .. as we infuse each candle with our soul and energy through our intention on lighting.⁣

This is my current state of play.⁣
⁣
After a busy morning and lots of ticks on the productivity board ..⁣
⁣
I’m inclined to just pause and rest for a moment .. face to the Winter sun for a nice long slow exhalation.⁣
⁣
How about you?⁣
