This weekend I took myself on a beautiful retreat to replenish my soul, to rejuvenate, to connect with others, to connect with nature and to meet new and old friends.

I also let go of emotions that had been bothering me, ready to make space for growth.

I know this time away will give me the energy, inspiration and courage to continue the service to my students and community with an open heart 🧡.

We all need down time to rest and regenerate. Even if that is just gifting yourself an hours self-care on a mat each week. Rest is essential to allow us space to breathe ✨️

Thank you to all my lovely students who came together last night to celebrate Samhain and Diwali. We welcomed in the darker months with beauty and grace and had a little fire ceremony to let go of anything that no longer serves us. This is a truly wonderful way to manifest a more positive mindset for moving into the darker times with the knowledge that all life begins in darkness and from this comes growth ✨️ 🍁🧡🍂✨️

This following week has two of my favourite celebrations in the calendar. Monday 31st is the Celtic celebration of Samhain. Samhain (pronounced Sawhain) is the time of growing darkness as evenings fade quickly into night. This is the most significant celebration in the Celtic calendar, the point of death but also the point of rebirth. This is a time when our ancestors are celebrated, a time when the veils are said to be at their thinnest between worlds.

As the darkness draws in, this has an influence on our daily lives. We can often feel more tired, and more susceptible to illness. It is natural to begin a period of introspection, a time to let go, hunker down, follow the patterns of nature. As it appears that nothing is happening in the darker months, seeds are germinating underground, new life is beginning.

This is a time for us to take our rest, just as the animals know to rest in these colder darker months. When we are in a restful state, the cells in our bodies are able to regenerate, this is when healing can take place.

This week (Monday 24th) also started the 5-day Festival of Diwali in the Hindu calendar. During this festival people decorate their homes with rows of lights.

This festival is to honor the goddess of wealth Lakshmi. The lights are said to help Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes bringing prosperity in the year to come a time to celebrate new beginnings.
We can be our own light. We can use this festival to celebrate and manifest new beginnings in our lives.

This week will be a mix of restful and calming practices:
• Restorative Yoga to help boost the immune system and allow healing to take place within the body
• Chanting to manifest letting go and rebirth
• Yoga Nidra for deep rest and stillness

This week's class is going to focus on twists.

The spine is the housing of our main nervous system. By twisting the body, we are effectively nourishing our nervous system and removing toxicity from the spinal column. This also helps to restore and retain the spine's natural range of motion.

This twisting also massages the internal organs. When you are in a twist, you will be compressing your digestive organs. This will cause a lack of circulation. When you release your twist there will be a rush or fresh blood that will flood your digestive organs. Fresh blood flow equals fresh oxygen and nutrients. Twisting will increase blood flow to the digestive organs, therefore increasing their ability to function.

Twists are wonderful postures if you deal with stress or anxiety. These postures will help to open the chest, shoulders and back, all of which can help to decrease feelings of anxiousness. You will be releasing stored tension in the body as you twist, which can have a positive effect on your mental state.

The more we learn to observe and fall into line with nature, the more balanced our minds and bodies will be 🙏

I sat in my spot I have chosen to meditate yesterday morning. Whilst focusing on my breath I had a group of 6 ladies sweeping the path around me and a JCB rolling past a couple of times doing some work on the beach. After I had sat for approximately 40 minutes I gathered my stuff and a was about to leave. A gentleman approached me and said "I bet that drove you mad didn't it" I can say hand on heart, it was a meditation where I was at most peace and none of this distracted me. It was a beautiful place to be. Not every day is like this and some days I struggle for my mind to settle. With regular practice you find this clarity occurs more often. We can't just read about meditation. You have to practice from the heart and not look for the fruits of your labour. Let go of any expectations and the magic will happen 🙏🧘‍♀️
