Life is for living and enjoying

Everybody’s life has its ups and downs. Even in the hardest of lives you can take pleasure in small things.

In a the middle of a busy business day I stepped outside for a few minutes to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly I was given an amazing display of a hawk soaring and swooping in the sky.  I could feel the air rushing in his face and the power of his wings guiding the air current to send him soaring above the hills. It was exhilarating and energizing just to watch.

Of course the hawk was hunting totally oblivious to his audience.  He was doing it with such energy and elegance I am sure he was having a wonderful time. I had to smile at his prowess. read more

As the autumn approaches and the days become shorter and chillier, we turn our thoughts to more internal pursuits.

Are you seeking a healthier, happier and more rewarding life? Bring some calm into your busy and perhaps stressful life to learn more about who you are and where your life is going.

Workshops
Take a look at Your Soul Family’s new autumn programme of relaxing events which help you to know more about yourself.
  • Take a taster event with an intuitive selection of a Soul Family template to paint for relaxation and messages from your loved ones.
  • Take a workshop to learn how to create your own soul map. Enjoy the relaxation of painting it and learn to use it in a reflection for ongoing calmness.
  • Soul families life in soul communities much as in our physical lives. Learn to create your community picture and paint it for relaxation.
  • Your Soul Family Foundation evening course of discovery including relaxing meditations, exercises and Soul Family techniques to develop your intuition. Starting in January, express an interest now as we need a minimum number to ensure it runs

All of the events are good for reducing stress and helping you to manage your life. You can do them just for relaxation or you can learn more about yourself, the life lessons you are learning and discovering who is in your eternal soul family. Either reason is equally good.

City gardening: do you like to get your hands in the soil?

Humans were not meant to be so remote from Mother Nature as perhaps many of us are who live in towns and cities.  In the UK, councils have started to set-up allotments on spare pieces of land perhaps besides a railway or between roads.  Some councils have chosen to allow residents to grow vegetables where formerly municipal flowers were planted.

In London where I live, I have managed to get an allotment allocated to our family.  To help children learn where their food comes from, the allotment only allows 20% of your patch to be given over to flowers.  The council gardeners encourage you to grow flowers that attract bees such as sun flowers or nasterchiums whose flowers you can eat in a salad. read more

Spring is a time for change: simple steps to finding joy

After a long hard winter this year, Mother Nature is stirring.  New beginnings are arriving.

Now is the time to look at your life and decide if all is well or you want to introduce some changes.

Is your life bringing you joy?

Life is for enjoyment not endurance….  It always surprises me how a small change can often make a big difference to how you feel about your life, for example;

  • Making some time for yourself is a wonderful tonic when you lead a hectic work and home life.
  • No phones or email for a day can be a revelation giving uninterrupted time to focus on yourself, family or friends.
  • Make a lonely person happy by a visit sharing your chatter, fun and enjoyment of life.
  • Walk and talk in nature with a friend or loved one can make life feel worthwhile.
  • Time to sit in silence and find personal calmness.

Whatever brings you joy – seek it out over the long holiday weekend.
