Focus

More often than I like, I allow myself to be flattened by an ever-enlarging snowball of anxiety and irritability.

I don’t believe that I should suppress my so-called negative emotions (that would make things worse). It’s important to acknowledge what’s there and feel into it.

However, it’s counterproductive to stay stuck in a habit of resisting, complaining and fear-based forecasting.

I’m relinquishing my power when I continue to place my attention on what I DON’T want!

It’s worthwhile to take the time to choose what to focus upon: what I’m grateful for, what I WANT and how I wish my life to be.

Do you need to break that pattern of repeating and magnifying your suffering?

This coming Tuesday, we will dive into presence, breath, movement and sound as well as practicing gratitude and visualisation.

We deserve to enjoy our lives and feel good 😊

Instamoment

I wake in the early hours of the morning. Unable to fall back to sleep, I creep to the other room to meditate.

The curtains are pulled wide. The sky is decorated with layers of cloud, dusky and white. The wind mewls, causing the ebony trees to arch and bounce.

My first instinct is to capture this experience for an Instastory. But having already committed to a social media-free Sunday, I don’t do this.

Releasing Resistance Workshop

butterfly-in-hand

 

“Stress is wanting something to be different than what it is.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

This relaxing, insightful and empowering workshop will look at what resistance is, why we experience it and the impact it’s having on our lives (in body, mind and even in the choices we make).

The afternoon will include mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, gentle movement, guided visualisation and journaling as well as a pause for a short break for tea and snacks.

We will learn where our resistance stems from, we’ll bring it into the light to acknowledge and understand it, and we will release it so that we can experience freedom, peace, clear vision and a lightness of being.

It will take place on Sunday 8th March from 2.30-5.30pm in Balanced Bodies Holistic Centre in The Courtyard in Newbridge, Co. Kildare. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite at a cost of €30 plus service charge. Click here to book your place: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/releasing-resistance-tickets-92730203535

louise hay

I’m delighted to announce the return of my Positive Living classes, starting Thursday 5th May, 8-9pm, in the beautiful Abbins House Holistic Centre, Eyre Street, Newbridge.

For those of you who can’t make Thursday evenings, I’ll  be running the course on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:00am starting 18th May.
Join me for a fun, inspiring, interactive class where you will meet like-minded people and receive tools and tips to live a happy, peaceful, fulfilling life.
Classes will include mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques, and exercises which will challenge your thinking, unblock fears and get to know the real you.

The theme of Week 1 is Presence – being present, mindfulness, breathing, meditation, becoming aware of thoughts but not attaching to them.

The theme of week 2 is Thoughts & Feelings – becoming aware of our thoughts, observing but not attaching to them, questioning them, challenging our beliefs, allowing our feelings and uncovering what’s beneath them so we’re no longer ruled by them.
€40 for a 4-week course.

My Song

I welcome the first day of summer by attending a yoga and music workshop with musician and yoga teacher Jack Harrison.

We lie down and begin with some breathing exercises. Jack strums his guitar, recites poetry and sings.

Little Camino

The past month has been weighed down with money worries, career anxiety, fear for the future and feelings of insecurity. This in turn has had an effect on my self-esteem; how I see myself and how I feel when I’m with others.

The main outcome of a much-needed business coaching session this week was that I need to love myself. And yesterday, I had another revelation.

Open your Heart

A dear friend sent me a link to an interesting TED talk on love and relationships given by Mandy Len Catron. The theme of love and relationships had already been playing on my mind.

After watching the clip, I confessed to my friend that I long to share intimacy and affection with someone of the male variety. I quickly added that I’m just feeling impatient and that I should simply be present.
