Meditation Room

In Meditation Room every week, we practise mindfulness, starting by paying attention to our breathing and our body, but there are so many other ways to become fully present in the moment.

In my aqua-fit class, we pay attention to how our body moves in the water, the resistance the water gives when we angle our hands, the feeling of weightlessness as we change positions. In Tai Chi, we do the same, noticing the resistance of the air as we move, the bend of a knee, the stretch as we reach for the moon.

In fact mindfulness can occur any time when we come out of our heads and pay attention to the now.

So often we fail to notice how beautiful the trees are, the bright, shiny full-moon, the dog do-do on the pavement, because we are so wrapped up in thinking about something else. Something that’s not even here now. We worry about some possibility in the future, or something horrible that happened in the past, and then project that into the future! Our imaginations are very creative that way. If we do it often enough, we reinforce the neural pathways in the brain and synaptic connections in the body, and consequently re-set our systems to notice even more things likely to cause us distress. Of course, it works the other way too - you can re-train your body-mind for the better. So take some walks in nature, look up at the night sky, try a movement class, or come meditate with us.

We’ll be online tonight, Monday 7th July, at 7.30pm. Tomorrow, Tuesday 8th, we’ll be in person in Hilperton.

And if you can’t come to either, try a gong sound bath next week with me in Bradford on Avon, or take a deep breath or two, soften as you exhale and come down into your body and gaze at the full moon this Wednesday for a few minutes. You're worth it!

YOUR HEART’S ENERGY FIELD EXTENDS BEYOND YOUR BODY AND CAN AFFECT OTHERS’ EMOTIONAL STATES

Scientists have found that your heart’s energy field extends beyond your body. In fact, the energy it gives off can be detected three feet (1m) beyond the body and can interact with others’ energy fields.

Recent findings in neurocardiology suggest the heart is more than a blood-pumping organ - it may also be a key to emotional intelligence and healing.

The heart has its own network of 40,000 neurons and communicates directly with the brain, influencing emotional regulation, stress responses, and overall wellbeing.

Research from the HeartMath Institute reveals that positive emotions like love and compassion promote a harmonious heart rhythm, known as coherence. This physiological state aligns the heart, brain, and emotions, enhancing learning, decision-making, and resilience.

Practices that foster heart-brain coherence - such as focused breathing and gratitude visualisation - not only improve physical health but also help us project calm and positivity to those around us. This energy field may even be strong enough to influence a room, making the heart a powerful tool for healing, connection, and transformation in everyday life.
