With a previous NHS career I am passionate about the positive life changing benefits of Mindfulness. Helping people develop effective calming, techniques through mindful and somatic practices, create personal embodied presence in day to day life and bring more understanding and compassion to themselves and their lives is a joy and pleasure. A more mindful approach in life improves our physical and mental health, resiliency, joy and personal appreciation and connection with life.

Monday is a great time to begin a new helpful habit. A fresh new week ahead. It's March too - a wonderful exciting new month has arrived, ushering Spring across the threshold.

'Mindful March' invites us to include easy, mindfulness practices into our life.

This lovely monthly prompt sheet from Action for Happiness suggests simple little things we can incorporate into our day. Micro habits like these boost mood and help ease the internal, often fretful, chatter in the brain.

I love todays prompt: ๐ŸŒณ ๐Ÿฆ โ˜๏ธ ๐ŸŒฑ

"Notice 3 things you find beautiful in the outside world"

Will you join me and take a few moments today to look for things you find beautiful outside?

There's no need to stop at just 3 ๐Ÿ˜

This was a fun February highlight! - meeting local media to talk about what I do and why I do it!

Here I am with Sophie Roberts chatting with Harrogate Advertiser Editor Graham Chalmers.

The book in front of me is the coursebook for an 8 week beginners Mindfulness Meditation course, (MBLC) which I teach.

The Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) written by the Mindfulness Association is a brilliant, life changing, practical introduction.

It transforms lives!

๐Ÿ’šNew cohort starting soon in Knaresborough.
In person. Experiential learning. Relaxed & fun.
Contact me for details.

Thanks for a great morning Linda Harrison and Jo Leatham. Super photo Joanna! ๐Ÿ™‚

The organisers of a Meet the Media event have called it an โ€œamazing successโ€ after bringing together local businesses with regional news organisations including the Harrogate Advertiser.

I debunk the mystery of mindfulness and clear up confusion around meditation.

Taking a bit of time out for me today ๐Ÿ’š I spent a lovely morning being led in some creative play, rather than leading it myself, for others.

It was wonderful to switch off, follow clear guidelines and playfully engage with natural materials, water and see what happened....

So many of my favourite things in one place!
๐Ÿ’™ blue
๐Ÿ’™ water
๐Ÿ’™ plants
๐Ÿ’™ gentle, quiet, space
๐Ÿ’™ playing and being curious
๐Ÿ’™ gentle company

I think mum will love her print!
I love my book cover!

When energies bigger than you sweep you along!

We've just moved into the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese calendar. Leaving behind last year's Earth Snake. Its the biggest transformation in the Chinese calendar. From earthy no-legs, to firey four legs. From shedding layers, to momentum and movement. Apparently the Fire Horse creates decisive acceleration, pushing life out of stagnation.

I popped a red jumper on to quietly acknowledge the change, expecting a quiet admin day. However Fire Horse energy must have blown in when the window fitters removed all upstairs windows as unexpectedly I found myself finally stripping bathroom walls, after months of stagnation.......

2026 appears to indeed prompt motion, transformation and a powerful urge to move forward.

Welcome Fire Horse! I'm excited for this years transformation, flow, clarity and momentum

THURSDAY 12th FEBRUARY

Our gentle Creative Mindfulness group activity is Slow Stitching - creating art from fabric scraps.....

No neatness or sewing skills are needed!

It's a playful, fun way to bring ourselves into calm and to put into practice so many helpful mindfulness principles.
๐Ÿฉต non judging - no right or wrong
๐Ÿฉต noticing - colours, shapes, textures
๐Ÿฉต curiousity - playful exploration
๐Ÿฉต softening - into the experience
๐Ÿฉต letting go - of expectations
๐Ÿฉต allowing - ourselves to simply 'have a go'
๐Ÿฉต patience
๐Ÿฉต slowing down
๐Ÿฉต being present
๐Ÿฉต focusing on just this one thing.....

Feedback is, it's;
Fun, calming, enjoyable, relaxing and a great way to spend a gentle, peaceful hour on a dark wet February afternoon.
