Firstly,
a very Happy New Year to all my lovely readers. This is the first blog post of
the year and I’m hoping you’ve all had a great festive time with those you love
and are refreshed and ready for what 2015 has in store.
I
was sadly poorly before, during and after Christmas with a delightful fluey
virus my youngest daughter decided to share with us all and I managed to come
off worst. However, I suppose another way of looking at it is it gave my body a
much needed chance to chuck out some toxicity making way for all the positive
steps I’m aiming to put in place this year.

One
of those is going to be meditation and this time I’m hopeful that I’ll finally
get to grips with this often elusive practice. In my work as a Holistic
Therapist before having my girls, I would find myself lost in active meditation
when giving a massage or Reiki treatment, but when it comes to sitting quietly
on my own, my busy brain will do anything other than sit for 10-20 minutes to
re-group. I’m happy to do this with others in a group setting however when it
boils down to it, it's all about forming a new habit and discipline, which appears to be an area I'm sorely lacking in !
