A friend and fellow yoga teacher recommended this book whilst we were in India together recently… I am finding it to be profoundly beautiful and would encourage all to read it🙏

Have you ever wondered what ‘Flow State’ means?

Flow state is a mental condition where you become fully immersed in an activity, feeling energized, focused, and performing at your best.
The term was popularized by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who studied how people experience deep enjoyment and optimal performance.

In flow, your attention, skill, and action merge together, and you become absorbed in what you are doing.

I feel blessed to have found a few things that put me into this state including walking in nature, reading, meditation and yogabut the strongest practice I have right now for helping me reach a flow state is Vedic Chanting🙏
I have two amazing teachers
Sheela Shankar from Yoga Nidhi and Dave Charlton from Sadhana Mala who have taught and guided me through this ancient practice.
If you would like to give it a try then please do reach out so I can connect you with Sheela and or Dave… you honestly won’t regret it, it’s become my new addiction🙏

I can’t quite believe it’s been two weeks already since I landed back in the UK… my India trip is still resonating deeply through the chanting I’ve been able to practice since my return and re-reading the chapters we studied from the Bhagavad Gita🙏
Grateful to be home especially now but also pining for time with friends and Sheela Shankar and Ravi Shankar
Here are a few photos to remind myself and share with others💗

Just over 3 weeks ago I left the Uk to attend a Yoga and Vedic Chanting Intensive and wow what an experience, I’m just sat reflecting on my chanting journey and the deep joy I get from this ancient practice.
I give thanks to my teacher Sheela Shankar of Yoga Nidhi and Dave Charlton of Sadhana Mala who have encouraged and supported me greatly🙏
Learning the Rules of Chanting and how to read Sanskrit is a joy and a challenge in equal measures and we now know how incredibly powerful it is in working with the mind, brain and breath… when I chant I’m in a complete state of ‘Flow’ and everything else stops and falls away🙏
It is my hope that my practice continues to develop and deepen and that I will chant theses ancient prayers for the rest of my life🙏

I have spent the last 15 nights in India on the most amazing Retreat, the trip was a Vedic Chanting Intensive with the sublime Sheela Shankar and a deep dive into the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita with the incredible spellbinding Ravi Shankar… words are just not going to do this trip justice, Its going to take me some time to reflect, process, digest and land after having the most amazing experience!
Ravi and Sheela and the most incredible teachers but more so the most beautiful humans I’ve had the great privilege to spend time with, forever grateful and excited for the next time I journey into their hearts🫶❤️
