Self Care Club

Hello all. Spring is finally here and ideas are flowing... Who would be interested in online bedtime unwind sessions via Zoom?

45 minutes of family friendly gentle breathing, gentle stretch followed by yoga nidra practice from the comfort of your own home... Even from your own bed!

The intention would be to bring you and your family to a place of relaxation ready for bedtime...

An alternative to improve everyone's sleeping habits and routine

I have shared yoga nidra for years with most people falling asleep by the end of it. It is most definitely a beautiful way to end the day and can be a very effective aid in falling asleep because it so deeply relaxes the body and mind. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Cost would be between £5 and £10 depending on your circumstances.

I would so appreciate your thoughts and who might be interested...

Let me know your best days and timings after 7pm weekdays

We are reading the Tao Te Ching at the moment. I'd say it is one of the most important spiritual texts I've read. The concept of acceptance is a key part of finding your peace ☮☯️

Behaviour patrol... words that provoke self reflection as a parent for me...!

When we stop to 'read between the lines' of our children's behavior, we can tune into their hearts, their hurts, their confusion, their frustration, their needs. That’s how we connect with our little humans to guide and help and heal them instead of simply correcting their behavior.

Always let L.O.V.E. be your guide:
💞
Listen - “I hear you.”
Observe - “I see you.”
Validate - “I accept you.”
Empathize - “I understand you.”
💞

Then when the need behind the behavior is met, when they feel seen and heard and understood, you can work together to come up with better ways of expressing their needs in the future. But remember, growing up is a process and it takes a LOT of practice. They won’t get it right every time. They may not even get it right most of the time. But over time you’ll see them grow more and more confident and capable of understanding and expressing their needs verbally and relationally. They won’t ever be perfect, though, and that’s okay. We aren’t, either.💞
