This is a short meditation that includes calming breath work, a bit of box breathing, and a reminder that you can take even just a few brief moments at any time during the day, to find some tranquility, ease tension, and relax. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for tuning in.

In this episode, I go back in time to my childhood in the 70s and 80s where I reflect on how our big yellow rotary dial phone, attached to the wall in our home, somehow became the fabric that connected our family, built a sense of responsibility and respect for one another, and gave us a little bit more independence (teaching us to learn some life lessons on our own), and I suppose teaching our parents to let go of a little bit of control and have some trust.

 I look back at having those "spaces in between" as a child with a sense of nostalgia - the space away from home, where you were expected to follow the rules, and no one could contact you until you reached another phone, or returned home.

 I also share thoughts on how the mobile phone may have impacted some of the ways the family fabric has developed since those times.

This is not meant to be an analysis or a strong opinion piece, but rather, just sharing some stories on observations from my own life. Sometimes just sharing a story and a few reflections can get us thinking about how things impact us in our own lives. it may also bring back some memories.

I hope you enjoy it

Many of us have heard about the benefits of practising gratitude. But for some of us, maybe you feel you can't find any reason to feel gratitude. Something might be holding you back.

 In this episode, I share my thoughts on why a practice of gratitude can be a healthy way to change your mindset. But for those who struggle with finding anything to feel thankful for, I offer another option. Before you can begin any practice of gratitude, if something is holding you back, you need to learn to become familiar with how you actually feel. We’ve been taught for so long that feeling negative emotions is not a good thing, that we learn to suppress them. And if we’ve been taught that feeling a certain way is bad, then we often don’t even know how to face our true feelings. 

 I share my views on why there is no right or wrong and how you feel because it’s how you feel. There’s two sides to every feeling and each of us at one point or another in our lives will experience both. Learning to understand how you really feel, to face it, and find acceptance in it is the first step in finding acceptance in yourself. When you practice becoming aware of how you feel, all of the words and thoughts in your head that create that story to justify your feelings begins to get weaker, which is a good thing. I share my views on why it’s more authentic to be in tune with how you feel than how you think.

So if you’re struggling because you know you’re suppressing something or you can’t find your happiness, and you certainly can’t find a way to begin practising gratitude, tune in  - to see if it’s something you might be willing to try. I have full confidence that if you open yourself up to this practice, you will begin to feel much better and you will be able to find your gratitude.

In this episode, I share why it’s important to be true to yourself, without comparison to others, without fear of not being good enough. When you arrive each day in your life, as who you authentically are, you’re experiencing exactly what life is meant to be… for you.  This is your life, and when you show up as YOU in each moment, you are able to experience the moments as they unfold for you. 

Living by comparison to what you think you should be, who you think you should be, what you should achieve, puts you in a place of not ever experiencing for yourself, not appreciating your moments, meant for you.  Comparison takes you away from appreciating what is happening for you, and you may find yourself never feeling satisfied with the outcome.

I share a couple of stories here about how this makes sense to me - in art, in yoga, in life.  Join me.

This meditation is to help anyone who is struggling with something, or maybe holding onto thoughts that they cannot seem to let go of.  We all know that hanging onto thoughts or worries does not serve us. And even if you can’t release those thoughts today or tomorrow, please know that you have the strength within you to find your way. 

But for now, consider taking this few moments to tune into this short meditation - less than 10 minutes - to give yourself permission to let it go.  Let Go of your thoughts and worries even for a few minutes, take a breath, relax.  Even if just for this brief time, it could do you a world of good.  

We all have times when worries or thoughts get in our way, and reminding yourself to LET IT GO, can sometimes help keep us on track.

P.S - I kept this one short for those who may find they get in their head about something, and don't have the time or interest in learning to meditate or take space for themselves.  Taking this time may help you to discover that you can take a few moments from your day to make space for yourself; to take a breath and break from it all.

In this episode I share my thoughts about why it’s important to do that thing you always wanted to do but never felt you had time, or maybe the confidence, to take the plunge.  Stepping out of your comfort zone can open up a new world of possibilities and experiences.  It’s important to fill your personal cup- as we often spend more of our time filling the cups for others.    

I also share my experience with a new painting class.  

How do you fill your personal cup?

This meditation is intended to give you a few moments to focus on yourself, to feel your essence and to discover that you have the wisdom within yourself to find your peace and happiness.  

If you are someone who feels that you often prioritize the needs of those around you, people you love and take care of, over your own needs; if you  often feel unseen by your loved ones, or that your voice is not heard; or perhaps you live with worries for the health of someone you care about, while they continue to disregard your urging them to change their habits and behaviours,  then perhaps its time to take a few moments now for you. 

 You know you cannot change others - people cannot change unless they want and choose to change themselves.  But you can learn to re-discover yourself; to choose you; and perhaps practice and learn to free yourself of the worries you carry for those around you.  
It is my hope that this meditation will help you find a few moments to remind yourself that this beautiful life is yours... you can choose to find your peace, contentment and joy.

It’s that time of year again when everyone will soon be bombarded with all of the advertisements and stories about how to become healthier and happier in 2025.   We are all too familiar with setting new intentions for year ahead - when we often take the opportunity to reset, with plans to make changes to improve our lives, only to find that sometimes these well-meaning plans are abandoned within a few short weeks.

In this episode, I invite you to consider a different approach. We often look outside ourselves for the answers to resolve many of the challenges we face in our lives. But in this episode, I explain why looking to the outside is not always helpful and it can sometimes set us on a path for failure.

 I also share how spending a little time getting to know how you really feel, is the path to living your truth and sticking to the plans that align with your true values and your heart.  Later in the episode, I provide some concrete examples of how our thoughts can play tricks on us and can often be the culprit to destroying some of those well-intended goals that we set for ourselves.  Sometimes our thoughts are not our friend.  

I hope you enjoy this episode. I truly believe if you allow yourself the time to learn more about YOU, and how you really feel, you may find yourself on an entirely new and fulfilling path for the year ahead.

Happy New Year.  My wish for you is to live in positively, health, and harmony.
Natalie

The Holiday Season is upon us, and although for many it is a joyful time, bringing with it thoughts of love, and time with our friends and families, it can also be a time of stress, worries, or frustration.  This meditation offers a little breather for you, to take a few moments to reset, and remind yourself that the thoughts you carry can create feelings and emotions that can affect your energy.  And often, the energy that others around you bring to your space can also affect how you feel, how you react, and it can impact your own energies.  Using breathwork, and this time alone with yourself, to help you feel your own essence and presence, can help you become more aware of how these other energies, and how your own thoughts, can affect your emotions.  Give yourself the gift of time, to take this 20 minutes for a little breather from the busy-ness, to remind you of the importance of breathing, and of protecting your own energy.  
My wish for you is to have a peaceful and calm holiday season.

Have you ever felt that you frequently annoy someone else, someone in your life that you care about, even though you know they may care about you as well? and you feel that sometimes, just being the way you are somehow annoys them... your little quirky ways, or your way of moving, talking, your energy, or your caring?  Sometimes, when you are told you are annoying, or someone does or says something to suggest that your behaviour is irritating them, you can be left feeling hurt, or even a little upset with them. But it can also affect how you feel about yourself.  You wonder if they are right.  Are you annoying? 

 Join me, as I share my views on why being YOU is a beautiful thing, and why YOU should not change those things that make you YOU.  I also share why you should not blame someone else for being THEM.  Hopefully, this episode may help those who find themselves hurt in relationships, learn that it is ok for you to you be you (in fact, it is wonderful), and it is OK for them to be them.
