| Helen’s Sound Meditation ~ Welcoming May |
| April has been full of beautiful Sound, regular sessions, the addition of a Family session over the Easter Holidays, beautiful collaborations with Yoga & Pilates, children’s sessions have included local PreSchools a day at a Primary in the planning and an invitation for a fun session with the Kingsbridge Beavers, two gorgeous retreats and a new venue for Lunchtime Lie Down in Kingsbridge with parking-yah my back certainly appreciated this! I feel truly blessed to be able to share Sound Journeys Meditation, to connect with so many wonderful people and witnessing deep relaxation. On Earth Day April 22nd I received an email from Ecologi awarding my little business with a Bronze Award for planting trees, I am thrilled and was reminded of Desmond Tutu “Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” May is a beautiful month in Devon, the hedgerows are filling with primroses, fields of bright yellow, the sight and smell of bluebells, I’m so looking forward to Bluebell weekend at Deer Wood, wild garlic flowering, trees blooming, lighter longer evenings, nature generously offering its beauty. “A fine and subtle spirit dwells In every little flower, Each one its own sweet feeling breathes With more or less of power. There is a silent eloquence In every wild bluebell That fills my softened heart with bliss That words could never tell.” Anne Brontë May, a time to awaken awe & wonder in ourselves, noticing the beauty, connecting to nature, finding stillness and peace. So as nature begins to bloom, why not gift yourself some time, just for you to bloom too. If you would like to join a Sound Meditation this month to press pause“You are as welcome as the flowers in May” |
