A state of awareness!


Meditation is a tool which changes your life! When you learn about the principles of meditation and why people meditate your knowledge and understanding of it and life go a lot deeper than ever before.

Since I started to meditate I have found that I have a lot more control over how I react to situations that occur in my life as I can stand back and observe my thoughts rather than just reacting. Its almost like taking control of your emotions rather than letting them control you! Im still learning how to do this properly but now I feel I can recognise negative thoughts/feelings quickly and almost stop myself from going down that route. In time I know that this will become easier...at present I still sometimes go through an internal struggle before being able to calm myself down but at least I can get there as an end result. Brilliant :)

Meditation brings about a state of awareness...aware ness of yourself, your thoughts, your feelings and your peacful soul! Its this awareness that will push you deeper and deeper towards a spiritual lifestyle of peace, love and joy :)

Guided meditation is great as a starting point, it has allowed me to be able to relax and meditate on a deeper level and for longer durations of time. I LOVE the feeling of starting my day with a good meditation....it gives me a sense of grounding! The rest of my day I can almost call up on that peace and clarity I gained in the morning to help me through the day as a calm and peaceful soul :) Not to let the influences of others or external material objects affect me as much! What a brilliant light to stand in!! Don’t you think?

If you would like to start meditation, I would recommend Carmen Warrington, amazingly calming voice and very simple instructions to follow. You can find her on you tube but I have also bought her album on iTunes called Peace of mind. Brilliant....thank you Carmen!



To deepen my understanding of spirituality and meditation I attended a positive thinking course followed by a meditation course which are both run completely free of charge by the Brama Kumaris organisation. I did my course in Leicester but they run throughout the UK. You can see if there is a course close to you here:

Thank you meditation teachers!

Meditation takes practice, but it surely is a way of life rather than just an occasional practice. Be patient with yourself and be persistent! The rewards at the end of it....i promise you....are definitely worth it!!!

Wishing anyone that reads this, peace, love and joy xx

The knowing...

Everyday the sun rises and then it falls. Everyday the moon rises and then it falls. Some days it shines brightly, you see it, you feel it. Others days it hides away, you can't see it, you can't feel it. But surely enough as another day approaches, the sun will rise and the moon will fall. Ever present, more and more beautiful with each appearance. Unfaltering faith in my angels working to my greatest good allows me to sit here on a lovely large pebble beach in Riomaggiore and see that nothing is really as bad as it might seem. Everything that is happening in my life, is happening for a greater reason that i am unaware of at present. With patience and time though, everything will be clear...the knowing that this day will come is beautiful. The knowing is my strength. The knowing is divine, a direct connection to the highest good. The knowing is allowing...allowing my guides and angels to direct me through my  life, to the most incredible people, to absolutely amazing p

Kevala - finding my spiritual home ❤️

Image
I recently visited kevala in April 2023. I find it hard to attach words to how beautiful and sacred this space is. From the moment you walk in, you get a feeling of a beautiful safe haven, you are hit with positive possibility and opportunity. People are kind and love is flowing through each interaction.   The gardens are overflowing with lush green vibrancy, enticing you in with each step. There is an energy grid which is super charged and has a cosmic feel. This space really helped me dive deeper into myself, anchoring me in knowing and inner godliness. The nearby sacred mountains form a moving backdrop to the center, one morning we trekked up to the top allowing us to see the most spectacularly inspiring views, breath fresh and energized air and change perspectives completely. Inside the center the space is bright, the main hall has an electric energy, one that I could feel through every class, talk and group session within the space. The art work inspires and reconnects you while t

Mother hen love...

Image
This picture captures her spirit. Glowing and exuberating happiness.  For as long as I've lived she has been incredibly caring and giving. She has been sacrificing and selfless. Strong and unfaltering in her primary principle in life...peace!  She would work the longest hours and still on the family front she would show up...happy, singing and spoiling us all!  Should one of us ever feel unwell, there she was! Viks in hand, ready to massage your aches and pains away! So comforting. And her food! Full 100% of her love and dedication to her family...so flavoursome. No one can escape the 'little bit more...!?' Even when your bursting at the seems, how can you resist that beautiful mother hen love!  She is my mum. She is my role model. If I could be half as beautiful as her inside and out it would be an achievement. Unable to hurt another living soul big or small...what an incredible woman! Happy birthday mum, you have always been my grounding, my backbone, my human angel. And
