    • Try the smile meditation for positivityPractice smiling widely, feeling warmth spread, and bringing calm positivity into your day through meditation

      Practicing a simple meditation called the "smile meditation" can help bring positivity and warmth into your day. According to Kate Cocker from Volley FM's "everyday positivity" segment, this meditation involves closing your eyes, smiling widely, and feeling the warmth of that smile radiate through your body. This exercise can be done for as long as you like and can help set a positive tone for your day. Kate learned about this meditation from her acupuncturist and encourages listeners to try it at home using their Alexa device. By focusing on the sensation of a genuine smile and the accompanying warmth, you can bring a sense of calm and positivity into your day, even on challenging days like Mondays. So, take a moment to try the smile meditation and let the warmth of your smile brighten your day.

    I Hope

    I Hope

    To hope is to trust that life is on our side. It frees us to see beyond what the world sees, beyond our circumstances, doubts and fears. Keeping our hope alive also keeps our spirits alive. 

    We can be intentional with our hope, planting seeds in our minds, hearts and words. Hope is being grateful in this present moment, trusting that something greater, something even brighter, is just beyond the corner, even if we don’t see it yet.

    Here’s to keeping our hope alive, always.

    40 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.
