So It’s been a few weeks since I posted my last ‘Yoga Experiment’ update about how I was getting on doing 15 minutes Yoga Nidra every day.
I’ve now finished my four weeks and am pleased to announce that I never missed a day! I know that might sound a bit rubbish considering that I did commit to doing it everyday for a month but actually, when you work and have stuff planned in the evening it’s not always that easy to find 15 minutes just for yourself for quiet focused relaxation.

Last weekend I spent the weekend in Wales with my Nana and my parents to celebrate her 90th Birthday.90. Can you imagine? She was born in the twenties. That’s us all in the photo.
Today I wanted to talk about inspiration and in particular, who inspires you.
Whilst it’s great to have a really successful or famous person to look to for inspiration, it’s taken me a while to realise how great it is to have inspiration so close to home. Continue reading
I’ve done another vlog (yey!).
No really, I don’t much care for them myself but I know you all like to see who’s talking to you so I’ve chatted on for a bit in front of the camera this time around.

Mindfulness is currently ‘in vogue’ with the NHS to help combat OCD, depression and other anxiety disorders. Mindfulness features heavily in Buddhism. But what it is? And do you need a teacher for it?
Is there something you wish you could do, or be, or go see…but you can’t because of whatever reason?
Whenever you’re doing something which isn’t really what you want to be doing, you create resistance and tension within yourself. This is what causes a lot of people’s health issues.
What would you do if you won the lottery? If you won £30m how would your life change? Continue reading
For the past week and a half I have been diligently listening to a Yoga Nidra audio by Swami Muktibodhanana Saraswati and promised last week to continue it for a month and post my experiences online.
Previously, I have only ever had one yoga nidra session, done in an extended yoga class in Liverpool a few years back. At that time I thought it was just a nice way to relax for half an hour.
Yoga nidra is a gradual relaxation of the muscles of the body, focusing on each section of the body at a time, allowing your body to become ‘one-pointed’ or to attain Dharana, the 6th of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga. Continue reading
