Meditation, it’s better than sitting around doing nothing. It’s also good for you physically, including boosting your immune system. When we are stressed and anxious, hormones cortisol and adrenaline are pumped too quickly through our bodies. If this happens too often, our adrenal glands become exhausted and this damages our immune system.

In these uncertain and frightening times, it’s so comforting to be reminded that there is still good in this World.

Most of us who exercise outside now, are probably all too familiar with our route. I’m incredibly lucky to live in the beautiful village of Lavenham in Suffolk.

As we start another week in lockdown, some of you will be craving some personal space right now. Others may be desperate for the opposite, these are of course, unusual times and our psyche is being tested!

When we are faced with something that is out of our control, we humans can feel vulnerable and insecure.

As we continue living this somewhat different life, it seems everyone is experiencing things differently.

So many of us will be missing seeing our families and friends this weekend, me included.

Shaman have been walking this Earth longer than any other spiritual group. They are said to originate from Scandinavia, but most us associate them with South America.

It’s hard to describe Shaman in a few short sentences, but I consider them to be powerful medicine healers who work with the elements and our energy. But when you really look into it, it actually makes perfect sense.

When we practice meditation, we are cleansing our minds and it is a time for self reflection. Who am I? A question some of us have asked more than any other. 

Last week, I was met with incredible rage from a stranger, which left me quite shaken. After I had calmed myself down, I found myself thinking more about how this human being had reached such a level of anger. What was going on their life, to lose control like that? 

Imagine for a moment how this planet and the Universe came to exist. Just take some time to recognise how a beautiful event created this state of being. Once upon a time, everything was one solid, one large mass, then it fractured into tiny particles. The Universe was born, and you were part of that process and everything you see around you. 

Ok, let’s do this, let’s make this the week of some new beginnings. Let’s even perform a miracle or two. 
Think about what you really want and take that leap of faith. You are more capable and amazing that you realise. You can change your life and you can reach your full potential.
