Each stage of our lives leaves an imprint and makes us what we are today. Our younger selves sometimes come to the surface when things out of the ordinary happen. We might react to something by crying like a baby, responding like a teenager or laughing it off. We might not even know where it came from. The where is from our past experiences and form what we know.

Being able to observe our feelings and emotions empower us not to identify with them. Sometimes we can even change the course of things by influencing our ourselves form a position of knowledge and balance.

This meditation is dedicated to my friend Geraldine.

Cómo empezamos nuestro día, muchas veces definirá el resto de la jornada.

En particular en ocasiones en las que estamos a punto de involucrarnos en algo nuevo; a punto de hacer un viaje o simplemente cuando queremos poner un sello positivo en un día, la mejor forma es empezar con una sonrisa. Una sonrisa imperceptible, una que solo conocemos. Una sonrisa en tus ojos, en tu corazón y en tu alma.

Escucha las afirmaciones de esta meditación. 

Agradece por este maravilloso nuevo día, lleno de posibilidades.

..........

How we start our day, will many times define the rest of the day.

In particular on occasions when we are about to get involved in something new; about to make a trip or just when we want to put a positive stamp on a day, the best way is to start with a smile. An imperceptible smile, one that we only know about. A smile in your eyes, in your heart and in your soul.

Listen to the affirmations on this meditation. Be grateful for this wonderful new day, full os possibilities.

In 2020 I had to create classes and offerings on the go, there was no real plan and I did my best to provide support and fun to my yoga community. 

In 2021, I am able to give you a wider outlook of what I am doing.

I had a few chats with people about how do my classes and workshops work; whether the live online classes are any different to doing classes on Instagram; what’s on offer; do I send recordings of the classes or not… You get the picture, lots of loose ends.

Wanting to tie the loose ends and show you the type of net I am trying to build to provide you with support, knowledge, a space for reflection and a bit of work with your body too, I did this podcast.

Allow me to re-introduce myself to you and share with you about my Yoga and Ayurveda journey.

This is the first Yoga Nidra of 2021. 

On this meditation, after connecting with the body and the breath, I guide you to visualise your desires.

It's very important to have wishes and dream big. During this process, we need to learn to select what will bring forth the best of ourselves.

Finally, to find true contentment we must learn to detach ourselves from the outcome of our dreams. 

Developing the mental flexibility to adapt and accept what is, will contribute greatly to our happiness.

This first new moon on 2021, that January 13th, is in the star sign of Capricorn and brings vibes for creativity.

During the new moon is when the sky is darkest and so the stars can shine the brightest!

The moon has an effect on the tides of the ocean and it influences and influences the activities of all variety of living creatures on our planet. It has also been observed to affect the minds of all variety of life, including humans. This is where the term ‘lunatic’ comes from.

During the new moon, the sky is at its darkest and the stars are able to shine more. Although we might think that the moon is not in the sky, the fact is that it is, but the shadow from the earth over it makes it invisible to the naked eye.

The new moon is the beginning of a 27-day cycle of lunar phases that swell to the radiance of the full Moon phase, before waning back to the darkness of another new moon.

Use this meditation any time you want to start something new, to set an emotional tone the cycle ahead and be receptive to what there is.

This podcasting is an interview with Emma Turnbull from Yoga Wise about her four weeks Morning Mantra challenge, which starts on. January 13th, 2021, at 7 am. (The interview was recorded on Sunday, January 10th).

Mantras are mind tool and as Emma says, a "Mantra is a practice that is imbibed... you don't really need to know the words or meanings but simply listen and join in as they become familiar.  In fact sometimes having the words, which after all are in unfamiliar Sanskrit can be a hindrance."

This free challenge runs for fours week, from New Moon (January 13h) to New Moon (February 10th) on Zoom. We'll meet up Monday to Friday.  At the weekends we can practise by our selves. Join the challenge here.

We will start each day with the mantras listed below. When you chant, you are able to set the tone for the day, sound vibrations from these mantras create subtle changes to the body and mind.

This is why I ask you to truly commit to showing up every day where possible because this will not only help you learn the mantras but also help you create a new habit, a morning practice that will positively affect your day and life. The way we start our day colours it the way we want it - so by avoiding the news and social media first thing ad uplifting our energy and vibration can really make a huge difference to our mental health at these difficult times.

I am also including some audios here to familiarise yourself with the mantras and also they will serve as a useful tool for weekend chanting and if for any reason you miss a morning with me.

Like a mood creates a vibration in the body, so to do the sounds from these mantras create certain vibrations that uplift the mind and heart and help to set a more spiritual tone to the day.

These Mantras will not only help you personally but will have a positive and uplifting effect collectively.

This episode is about creating a vision board for the year that we are just starting. It's a fun and creative activity!

Envisioning 2021 is a workshop with a guest presenter: Yoga teacher Kelly McGuinness. 

Sharing a bit of her story, Kelly talks us through how she uses vision boards and how to create your own. 

She also guided us on a brief Yoga practice that can either be done seated or on your yoga mat. 

Get your board or large sheet of paper, glue, scissors and collection of images and words from magazines that you can use to illustrate what you would like on each area of your life. 

What I love about this workshop is that you can listen to what other people have highlighted on their vision boards and why. It is most enlightening!

Get ready and you can do the workshop while you are listening!

Above all, enjoy the process!

If you want more, join us at 9 am, on June 5t,h 2021 for the Half-year check-up, Envisioning 2021 workshop.

It is your vision board, so there is no wrong or right. The fact that you participate in the workshop will already get you started int he right path.
