A huge congratulations to Vidyamala who has been awarded an OBE for services to pain management and wellbeing!

We are thrilled to announce that Vidyamala Burch has been made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). She has received the title in the Queen’s Birthday 2022 Honours List for her Services to Wellbeing and Pain Management as the Co-founder of Breathworks.

Here she is pictured with her appointment letter (that she managed to keep secret for a whole month!).

For those who know her, this award may be no surprise. Her incredible accomplishments and feet of work over the past 21 years has helped a countless number of people in the UK and around the world.

As she is too humble to toot her own trumpet, we thought we would rejoice in her achievements and the ways in which she inspires us and many others in our blog here: https://bit.ly/3x2aHrs

Does anyone have an online MfH or MfS course coming up in the next 1-3 months? Someone in Adelaide is looking for one in a more Aussie-friendly time zone and has asked BreathWorks UK.

Reply if you do and I’ll let the Breathworks office know (or you can email Stanter directly if you have her details).

Hey everyone - we’re hosting a day retreat on Sunday, June 28 in a time that’s AU / NZ / Singapore / Malaysia friendly. There will be some input from Vidyamala (recorded from her UK retreat running the same weekend). And we’ll have guided practices and discussion. I thought it would be great for us to get together “locally”. Really hope to see you!!

This is a great Q&A with Vidyamala and Shannon Harvey from the launch of Shannon's doco, My Year of Living Mindfully. There's some great conversation about being "discomfortable" and being with discomfort.

ABOUT 'MY YEAR OF LIVING MINDFULLY' In the midst of a global mental health crisis, millions of people have turned to mindfulness. But does it actually make u...

Just finished an amazing mindfulness for Health retreat in rural Victoria. Such a great group of people. Amazing how deep we all went in 5 days.

A meditation by Vidyamala on the home page of Insight Timer. As she says, "surely connection is the dearest thing in this life".

This practice focuses on love and kindness for oneself before widening out to cultivate a connection with all of life. Rather than relating to others on the basis of difference, we learn how to relate on the basis of all that we have in common with one another.
