Yesterday night I had a realisation of how lucky we are as a generation to have access to a tremendous number of healing modalities. We use words like 'childhood trauma' and 'generational trauma' as part of our day to day conversations. We invite each other to shamanic breath-work sessions and gift each other access to meditation apps and self-development courses. 

We live in a time where access to therapy, support, coaching, guidance and energy work is abundantly available at the tip of our fingers. 

"What got you to create positive change in your life?"

Meditation. That's my answer. 

When I started meditating I had no idea that something was igniting, shifting, being created! I remember feeling "good" and I now realize that I was actually starting to flow with life, inviting presence and connecting to a higher energy. 

I am in no way undermining the amazing role therapists play.

However sometimes we need go-to tools which can empower us  in maintaining regular connection to self.

Many of us journaled as kids, and I find it incredible how as children we intuitively knew what we needed to release and process emotions.

However, as adults we do not trust our innate abilities to heal. 

Here are 3 ways in which journaling can support your mental health and how you can simply start.

If you've heard of mindfulness, but never truly understood how to experience it, here is a short guide to get you started.

In simple words, mindfulness is the act of being present in the moment by paying close attention to yourself and to your environment. It is the act of being aware of the small things around you, connecting to your 5 senses and immersing yourself in the NOW.

Try to remember an amazing sunset or sunrise you once witnessed - maybe while on a summer vacation somewhere extraordinary.

Mantras. What are they? Why are they chanted in Yoga classes? And how can they support your spiritual and wellbeing journey?

I have been a yogi for almost 10 years now.

Actually I tend to believe that I was born a yogi :) I have always yearned to connect deeper to myself and find blissful moments in life; that is what yoga is really about - isn’t it?

Yoga to me has been a journey of self-discovery and growth. While practicing I am able to learn how to challenge my body, connect to my breath and invite my spirit to shine through.
