Inspired by the rejuvenation and refreshment that Savasana invites, here is its ‘sister’ … Most people in the western world – and millions if not billions in the eastern world, too – are standing both feet fully planted on the rapidly accelerating conveyer belt of ‘busyness’. Caught in an ego warp of ‘the busier you are, the more valuable you Continue Reading
Sensing Your Full Potential
Relax in stillness. Allow your body to become heavy – in its seat if you are sitting, or on the ground if you are lying down. Allow your body to become heavy, its weight sinking into the surface beneath you. Your physiological processes will begin to slow. The electrical currents in your body will begin to quieten. Allow your breath to slow down. You may find yourself drawn to take a few deep breaths. Or just allow your breath Continue Reading
Our Full Potential

A good friend once described to me one of the most profound moments in her life – a Continue Reading
