💙 October is Cranial Cervical Instability (CCI) Awareness Month 💙

Did you know some of the top causes of CCI include:
🧬 Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
🚗 Trauma or Whiplash
🦴 Rheumatoid Arthritis
🏥 Previous Neck or Chiari Surgery

CCI occurs when the ligaments and structures that support the skull and upper spine become too weak or damaged, leading to serious neurological and vascular symptoms that often go overlooked.

✨ Awareness saves lives. Many people live years without answers, and early recognition can make all the difference.

It is a very grounding, calming thing to do.

Have you ever wrapped your arms around the trunk of a tree? 🌳

Tree hugging is associated with a variety of benefits, from improved mood to reduced anxiety.

If you haven't tried tree hugging, then be sure to try this exercise as featured in Kirsty Summerbell's article: Open Your Arms. We'd love to hear how it goes!🤗🫂

Have you come across the campaign in collaboration with Welsh Athletics Athletau Cymru yet?

Female runners change their running activity during darker months. Fact. This is unacceptable. Everyone deserves to feel safe when exercising.

More about the campaign, including details on the free webinars hosted by Welsh Athletics where you can ask local officers questions and for advice, can be found in the comments 👇

💪 Get Wales CPR-ready
⚡ Make defibrillators easier to find and use

This , take 15 minutes to learn CPR. It could save a life. 💙

We spend so much of our lives chasing success, relationships, money, and recognition… yet we often forget the one place we truly live — our body.

Your body is not just flesh and bone. It’s the sacred home your soul resides in — the vessel that carries you through laughter, pain, dreams, and purpose. And unlike every other home you may own, you only get one.

💧 Fuel it properly.
What you eat becomes the foundation of your energy, your focus, and even your emotions. The Buddha taught that mindful eating is an act of self-respect — when you eat with awareness, you feed not only your body but your spirit.

🏃‍♂️ Move it daily.
Movement is medicine. Whether it’s a walk, a stretch, or a full workout — every motion keeps life flowing through you. A still body becomes a still mind, and a still mind soon becomes a heavy heart. Keep your energy alive.

😴 Rest it wisely.
Rest is not laziness; it’s restoration. Even the Buddha emphasized balance — neither indulgence nor deprivation leads to peace. Allow your body to recharge; it’s how your inner light stays strong.

🙏 Respect it.
Don’t speak to your body with harsh words. Don’t compare it. Don’t punish it for being imperfect. It has carried you through every storm — the least it deserves is your love.

🌿 When you respect your body, you honor life itself.
So eat well, move gently, rest deeply, and live gratefully — for this body is not just yours, it’s your temple, your teacher, and your truest home.
