    The Meditation Sessions Mini Series 3

    The Meditation Sessions Mini Series 3

    The last in this mini series of meditation sessions and the last in this season of The Explored Life: More Than Yoga.
    In this episode I share another of the Meditation + Mindset sessions that we use to start our week in the Happy Healthy Membership. As before, the first section is where we journal to practice gratitude, kindness and joy. I then share how we can set intentions for our day, week, or larger life goals.
    In the Happy Healthy membership we get together twice a week to practice being at home in the present moment.
    Monday morning at 7am we begin our week with Meditation + Mindset.
    Sunday evening at 8.30pm we get together for a Meditation for Deep Relaxation.
    And you can join us! You can now book drop in sessions via my website https://www.happyhealthyyoga.co.uk/shop/
    Or I have a 5 days to make meditation a habit online course available here for £24 that you can work through at your own pace.
    The challenges that crop up in life are inevitable, the only thing we have control over is how we react to them. Let's practice building resilience for when those challenges arise.

    The Meditation Sessions Mini Series 2

    The Meditation Sessions Mini Series 2

    Over the next few weeks I will be sharing Meditation sessions from the Happy Healthy Membership.
    There are so many pre-conceived ideas about what Meditation is and how it should look - I aim to de-bunk these straight away. No lotus position, no confusing language or ideas.
    I'm not sure what it says about me but I need things to be super simple to be able to take them on board.
    Over the next few weeks these sessions will cover different techniques and methods. Give them a try and see what works best for you.
    This episode is from our Monday morning Meditation + Mindset session. We start the week with a journalling exercise to promote a positive mindset - practicing gratitude, joy and kindness to create new, healthy thought habits.

    Supporting Those Affected By a Loved One's Alcohol or Drug Use with Victoria Seed

    Supporting Those Affected By a Loved One's Alcohol or Drug Use with Victoria Seed

    Today I am talking to specialist in addiction and dependancy, Victoria Seed. Victoria has spent the last 16 years working with those suffering from addiction and now supports women who are affected by a loved ones drug or alcohol use.
    I was stunned by the statistic that one in ten adults are affected by somebody else's drug and alcohol use. In a society where drinking alcohol is normalised it is interesting to hear Victoria's perspective of not just addictive behaviour but how we consume alcohol in our everyday lives.
    Victoria has a fab free and friendly Facebook group for women - JOIN here
