Welcome August

Wow it’s been hot, hot, hot!  Time for shade, hammock and books.  

One of my books of the month has been Yoga Nidra Made Easy by the wonderful Uma Dinsmore-Tuli & Nirlipta Tuli.  A state of non doing, yogic sleep, restoring body and mind.  A few years ago I experience Uma’s Yoga Nidra at Buddhafield and then spent a creative day at her home in Stroud.  I was so taken by the practice of finding peace and personal freedom and very much appreciated the online afternoon Lie Downs Nirlipta offered during lockdown.  

We are often challenged in our society to just stop, pause and give time to rest.

“How simple would you like it?

How easy can it be –

To stop what you are doing and lie upon the floor?

This tiny act is all it takes

To turn your world around

To wake up to the taste of restful being

Here and Now”

When not using sounds I regularly use Yoga Nidra to find complete rest and so enjoy combining the two.

Heartfulness Yoga and Sounds 

We were thrilled that our last session in July, before the summer break was full, thank you to all who joined us this evening and / or previous sessions.  With 14 evening collaborations and the joy of holding our first mini retreat on the Summer Solstice what a delight Heartfulness Yoga and Sounds has become.  I have just loved working with Georgina to create, plan and hold space sharing our passion to enable stillness and peace.  We have been blessed with some beautiful feedback which we are so grateful to receive.

deliciously restorative day, spent nourishing mind, body and spirit.

To honour everyone who attends and to give something back to our beautiful earth, I started this year to plant trees, through Ecologi.  So thrilled that my ‘SoundForest’ is growing, 85 more added this July, a total of  1109 now planted x 

May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it’s beauty all the days of your life. APACHE BLESSING

May the stillness and peace you have experienced stay within and you, have a wonderful August
