I’m finding the World a bit crazy at the moment, how about you? Just looking for an escape route, if only for a short while, to re-group and gain some balance.
I’m still struggling to meditate and not sure I’ll ever get the hang of it. I can manage to sit quietly but still end up mentally compiling a ‘to do’ list or start wondering what the dog’s up to. Perhaps it’s the silence that throws me.
I recently came across the below music which I’m finding hits the spot when you just want to drift away to a calmer place. Close your eyes, place your hands on your heart .. and just breathe

It was fantastic, Deb! Thanks for asking! I’m thinking about taking instructor classes and teaching it. I work with so many people who have joint and back issues… would love to help older folks with more movement through a gentle yoga practice. We’ll see! Hope all is well with you.

Thanks, Deb! Have you ever done yoga?

I have but only now starting to appreciate it. It was a bit too slow for me when I was younger and I didn’t have the patience to take it slow and be mindful. I love pilates as well and find Yogalates by Louise Solomon particularly good at combining both.

I know exactly what you mean. I love Pilates, too. When I was doing it regularly a few years ago, I was in the best shape I’ve ever been. Going to check out Yogalates now! Sounds perfect!

I keep forgetting to take time to meditate. I always benefit from it when I practice yoga or shutting down my mind. Thanks for the reminder. Love the music!

Try guided meditation. It works to get rid of the thoughts! My comment from July is above me! I finally got into it.

Me too!! I’m definitely better with guided meditation rather than being left to my own devices. I wander off otherwise!

Things are great here, not sure you know but I divorced almost a year ago. Life got better after that. I’m retired now but may snag a job in the future for something different. Want to do some traveling around our West Coast states too. New photo website eh? 🤔😄

You sound like you are in a good place and feeling so much better about life. Look forward to seeing some photos of your adventures. Yes got a photography site now and have an exhibition coming up in June at a nearby gallery. Not sure where it will all lead to but enjoying the journey! 🙂
