"Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life." – Buddha

Born as a prince, Siddhartha Gautama left behind a life of luxury in search of truth. Through his journey, he discovered enlightenment and became the Buddha. His words call us back to presence — the doorway to peace.

A student once asked his teacher why meditation was needed if the mind was already “pure consciousness.”

The teacher pointed to a still pond.
“Look,” he said. “When the pond is undisturbed, the water is clear. You can see the bottom. This is like the nature of the mind — clear, settled, reflective of truth.”

Then he picked up a stick and stirred the water. The mud rose, the water clouded, and nothing could be seen beneath the surface.
“This,” he said, “is the mind when it is stirred by activity, stress, and constant thinking. The clarity is still there, but it is hidden by the agitation.”

Then he stopped stirring. Slowly, the mud began to sink on its own.
“When the mind becomes quiet,” the teacher continued, “the impurities naturally settle. You do not force them to settle, you simply stop disturbing the water. Meditation allows the mind to settle into its own calm, clear state. When the mud drops, clarity returns.”

January 1. A new calendar year. New Year’s resolutions. Changes.

How do you meet change?

For some, this day feels energising — new goals, new habits, a new you. For others, it brings pressure or stress, to be doing something differently, better or keeping up with others.

But the Vedas remind us of something grounding. Change isn’t a New Year’s resolution, it’s the constant rhythm of nature itself. And change will come when it needs to. You don’t force it.

In Vedic philosophy, life moves through an eternal cycle: creation, preservation, and dissolution. Siva — the great transformer — represents dissolution. Not destruction as punishment, but dissolution as liberation. Clearing stagnation and what no longer serves, so something wiser can arise.

When we resist this movement, stress arises.

Decades ago, after a conference on stress, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi asked one of his followers, “What is this thing ‘stress’ they keep referring to?” After it was explained, he paused and replied: “Oh… you mean it’s resistance to existence.”

That one line says everything.

Stress is resistance to change. Peace comes when we move with nature’s rhythm.

Vedic Meditation helps us live without friction. Twice a day, the body settles into deep rest and the mind releases its grip. When we regularly access this stillness we are more intuitive and can access our fine level of feeling to move with the flow of nature, rather than against it. When this happens change isn’t an effort, but frictionless.

✨ New year. Same laws of nature.
✨ Change is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Hot off the press!!!!

I’m so excited to finally share this! I created this Vedic Meditation Journal as a free accompaniment for participants of my Vedic Meditation course. It’s designed to keep you on task, build the habit, and support you as you learn a new tool you’ll have for life.

It also helps create accountability — giving you space to notice, acknowledge, and integrate the stresses as they’re released, rather than just pushing on and ignoring them.

Because doing the course is one thing — living the practice once you step back into your day-to-day is where it really counts.

👉 Learn Vedic Meditation with me and receive this journal as part of the course.

Grab your mates (furry or hooman!) on this World Meditation Day and take a moment to pause.

The United Nations has recognises December 21 as World Meditation Day, acknowledging the growing role meditation plays in supporting mental health during times of global stress, trauma, and uncertainty.

December can be a stressful time for many — end-of-year pressure, tired nervous systems, and Christmas events. And in light of recent tragic attack at Bondi beach, it’s understandable if things feel a little more unsettled than usual.

If we don’t unplug, stress quietly accumulates. Over time, chronic stress increases cortisol in the body, which research links to anxiety, disrupted sleep, weakened immunity, and long-term health impacts.

Thankfully regular Vedic Meditation has been shown to lower cortisol, support mental health and improve sleep through the removal of stored stress.

If you’d like to learn to meditate, course dates are on my website.
Or if you’re simply curious, you’re welcome to book a free info session and learn more.

Can we slow the aging process?
Where did the years even go? (Seriously.)

Aging is inevitable. How we age is not.

One major accelerator? Stress.
Chronic stress pumps out cortisol, wears down the system, and even affects your telomeres — the little “plastic tips” on your DNA that keep your cells young. When they shorten too quickly, you age faster.

The good news: you actually have a lot of influence over the pace of your aging.
Here are 5 things that genuinely support healthier cellular aging:

1. Quality Sleep
Not just “getting through the night” — deep, consistent rest. This is when repair switches on.

2. Eat Real Food
Whole foods, good fats, balanced blood sugar. Less packaged stuff. Your cells feel everything you eat.

3. Regular Cardio
Walking, running, swimming — anything that gets your heart rate up. Cardio is one of the strongest longevity tools we have.

4. Reduce Chronic Stress
Your nervous system wasn’t built for constant urgency. Simplifying life, setting boundaries, and cutting back the chaos makes a massive difference.

5. Meditation or Daily Stillness
Research shows meditation may slow telomere shortening. Even a few minutes a day reduces stress load and supports long-term repair.

Longevity experts like Peter Attia remind us it’s not just lifespan — it’s health span.
Not how long you live, but how well.

✨ More good years, not just more years.

When growing up my mum said, “Eat everything in moderation.”
My Traditional Chinese doctor says, “Eat a little bit of everything.”

Different cultures, same wisdom.

Plants aren’t just food — they’re information.
Different colours, fibres, polyphenols, and bitter compounds feed different systems in the body. No single vegetable does it all. Variety is the point.

Research consistently shows that populations eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods — traditional Mediterranean, Okinawan, rural Asian and South American diets — have far lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and many chronic inflammatory conditions. Not because of one magic ingredient, but because their diets are simple, plant-diverse, seasonal, and low in ultra-processed food.

Whole-food advocates and longevity researchers keep coming back to this: more plants, more variety, less processing.

And then there’s eating less.

Peter Attia and others in the longevity space focus less on superfoods and more on metabolic health — giving the body breaks from constant digestion. Smaller portions. Fewer eating windows. Occasional fasting. Not deprivation, but recovery.

Because even healthy food, eaten all day and in excess, becomes a stress on the system.

So the secret isn’t chasing the next superfood or overloading one “healthy” veg. It’s growing food close to home, eating a wide variety of plants, keeping it simple, and stopping before you’re full. 🌱

Are you hardwired for stimulation?
Uncomfortable with stillness or silence?

That’s how Western culture has us operating. We’ve been taught that movement equals progress, that stillness is lazy, and that productivity defines our worth.

Over time, it becomes a pattern as our nervous systems adapt to this constant input. We become wired for stimulation — and then we keep reinforcing it with more noise, more screens, more doing.

But in many Eastern cultures, stillness is seen as strength.
Pausing is not a sign of weakness — it’s a return to balance.
Meditation, rest, and reflection are part of daily life, not indulgences to “fit in” when there’s time.

Vedic Meditation interrupts the stimulation cycle. It gives your body a unique state of deep rest — deeper than sleep — where your nervous system can finally reset its baseline.

Slowly, silence stops feeling awkward.
It starts feeling like home.

🧘‍♀️ Ancient Wisdom. Modern Calm.

Twice-daily Vedic Meditation isn’t just something you tick off a list. It’s a practice of returning — to stillness, to yourself, to nature’s rhythm. When practiced regularly, Vedic Meditation becomes a ritual of deep connection.

A way to soften the noise of the world, drop beneath the surface, and realign with the intelligence of nature that lives within you.

Unlike quick-fix wellness trends or apps that train the mind to “focus,” this practice works on a much deeper level — gently releasing layers of stress, restoring balance to the nervous system, and awakening a steadier, clearer experience of life.

It invites calm.
It nourishes creativity.
It anchors you in clarity, even when life feels chaotic.

🧘‍♀️ Ancient Wisdom. Modern Calm.
