Moments of Stillness

Monday 9th June 2025

The next podcast episode is very aptly titled lost.

When I look at these moments of stillness for me to sit and reflect, it turns out I have been lost and not connected with my moments of stillness since the 11th January.

Which almost seems strange as I have taken moments of stillness almost every day to manage day to day moments. Journaling every day. However it would seem I became lost in moments of observation. That for me even with being present, these moments have been present in the distraction, not present with who I am, how I feel, or the direction I have been moving in.

Which makes the next episode release very personal to me.

I had allowed life to do what it does, take you along for the ride, draw you into what is going on, keeping me busy and kept me from one thing which really allows me to be still. However it has been interesting to allow myself to sit with this ride (While typing this moment has given me the thought or another meditation based on ‘ride’ and flow …. maybe a rollercoaster themed one might appear in the future). Aware that I have had time away from my podcast and website, allowing myself to go with the flow of the ride and not fight it and as I had hoped it has brought me back to what I really enjoy doing without any fight or excess use of energy from me.

Creating and making this podcast.

Having taken the time to put down how I have been navigating the world for the past 6 months has taken time and required attention to find the best way to share this one with the world.

I do hope this next one connects with those who are also feeling a little lost and allow you a way to find the path again.

What a start to the year it has been! enjoying being creative and enjoying working with individuals to help make their fitness goals a reality. The podcast has been a joy to be working on again. To enjoy the outside world and then turn that into podcast episodes has been fun.

We have had 2 podcasts since the return 3 weeks ago. Work has happened on the website, content is being drafted and worked on each day. To those who don’t know me it will look like I am busy, busy, busy but creativity is my rest. A time for my brain to wonder off into imagination and enjoy the creative process.

I am excited to see what 2025 holds for the podcast and website.

Friday 27th December 2024

So it has been a while since I have felt comfortable with sitting down and typing my thoughts. This was designed to allow me to stay accountable, to observe my habits and see how I would engage with my website. As you can see from the last entry being March 2022, I have had alot of thoughts, ideas and personal life changes which have required time for me to reflect and sit with my own stillness over the past 2.5+ years. However that time away gave me the opportunity to rest and reset myself, for me to try and fail. Then to try again and find the best way forward for myself. Being asthmatic and suffering from liver disease, that was no easy task.

The time has led me to the evolution you will begin to see from January 2025. I believe in rest and reset to allow others to find the optimum routine for themselves, be this for mental or physical health. I am excited to be back and to start supporting others and sharing in your transformation journeys.

Thursday 1st December 2022

Well …. my ability to find moments of stillness with my laptop to type and decompress my brain has been a struggle. With so much time spent with technology all I wanted to do was spend as much time without it as i could. Enjoy spending time with family and loved ones. However my blog was always present at the back of my mind. With the one question:

‘when will be the right time to go back to my blog and creating content for its podcast’

Which may only appear on Spotify if I cannot sort my technology issues out with the podcast app … Come on apple, help a girl out! Anyway I am rambling. The one question that was at the back of my mind and the one thing I kept telling myself was, trust your gut with when it’s the right time to go back. It will happen, be patient and be kind to yourself. It will happen when it happens. I mean I created the podcast at a time when it felt right to give me a creative outlet for being calm. I know, who knew teaching yoga and having a calming voice AND enjoying to talk a lot would give me an outlet for connecting with people too slow down the body and mind from anywhere across the globe. Kind of exciting really. Well today seemed to be the day. I happened to log in on the 1st of December and my Mindfulness@Christmas series was just sitting in the drafts … waiting to go. So I spent an hour scheduling and publishing (feeling rusty about my lack of connecting with this site for months) and by the end of it I felt at peace with the question I had been so curious to know when I would get the answer. What I have learnt is not all questions will have an immediate answer, sometimes you have to be patient … (as hard as that can be sometimes) and allow things to fall into place when they should. Which gave me a nice idea for a meditation ‘when’. When do you make a decision? When do you take a chance? When do you decide to change the direction of your life? I am lucky enough for my ‘when’ moments to manifest organically and my body and mind to just know ‘when’ something feels like it should do. Today was a ‘when’ moment and I am very happy to have my my podcast back in my hobbies.

Friday 4th March 2022

This blog has been rather inactive for the past 18 months or so. With the events of the world which seem to continue to bring sadness to our hearts, I decided to step away from my blog. To find some space and stillness within myself. For this reason I am initially going to type when I find moments of stillness, to give people an inside into where the ideas come from for my podcast relaxations / meditations. Which I do hope to restart in the near future. I find myself recently allowing myself time to sit with my feelings, to breathe and identify them. For no other reason than awareness. Sometimes awareness is all you need, with a still moment to notice how your mind and body are feeling. Thank you for your patience with my absence and hopefully this is a positive step in returning to the world of my blog and podcast.
