Meditation & Mindset


 

We all want to be the best version of ourselves.  We all want to feel happy and fulfilled, be kind and compassionate to others and ourselves. But Life can throw out some really difficult and devastating experiences, disappointments, unmet needs and dreams, a frightening health prognosis of someone we love or even ourselves. It could be an environment that causes you to feel stressed and anxious at home or at work, a broken relationship and more.  All these experiences can bring feelings of fear, anxiety, stress, anger, extreme sadness, and uncertainty. 

These feelings can  sometimes  lead us to react far short of our 'Higher Self' and make bad choices for our lives now or in the future, or even make us feel like we simply cannot make any decision or choice at all in the moment. 

But I am here to tell you, that no matter what you are going through in this moment in time, that nothing, no situation, no feeling is permanent, and you can heal and transform from these feelings. You may not feel you could right now, but I promise you it is possible.   

I specialise in helping all my Clients to build Resiliency using Science proven Meditation and Mindset practices and techniques. Meditation creates new neural pathways, which can be achieved no matter what age you are and this process is called 'neural plasticity' Meditation has been proven to lower toxic and harmful stress hormones (cortisol and adrenalin) and increase the healthy healing hormones (oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and endorphins) and this  has an immediate positive impact on us, both on a physical and psychological level. 

This new found way of being will help you navigate Life from a mentally stronger, informed, focused, Resilient standpoint. It will enable you to make better choices, regulate emotions, heal your heart, become less emotionally triggered and improve coping mechanisms. It will help you have improved sleep and eating patterns and help you to become kinder to yourself in your time of need.  It will help you identify and prioritise your own self care and self compassion.  

It is so important especially when going through difficult times in our lives that we take care of ourselves especially when needing to look after others or lead others as a Team Leader, Mentor, CEO, Manager, Parent or Caregiver.  

Just think of the advice given on the Airlines, informing us to put your own oxygen mask on first, even before your children...why ? because if you lose consciousness through lack of oxygen you would not be able to help your children or others.

Just think of the Scientific proven term and effect called  'The Placebo Effect' even without the actual medication the Body heals itself.  Why ? because the Mind believed it was getting the medication ? Or think about a bitter, citrusy, zesty lemon and instantly your mouth will start watering, your salivary glands will go into overdrive, all this on just a thought of the Mind ! 

Our Mind does not distinguish between reality and non reality. So in effect our inner World creates our Outer World. Our Minds create thoughts and thinking and it is our thinking around our thoughts that determine our emotions and the quality of our Life. 

Practising Meditation does not mean you will forget your experience, anxiety, trauma, loss or pain. It means that a regular Meditation practice, using certain practices especially for what you may be going through, will help ease the pain and offer moments of quiet Peace and Mind space so that you have time to emotionally regulate and process these feelings.  

We can only heal, come to terms with changes in our Life, make better choices, lead better when our Mind is quiet and calm, and Meditation guides us closer to  that state of Mind.

I use a variety of Meditation & Mindset Practices depending on what you may need help with.  All supported by scientific data. Once a regular practice is established you will feel the change in you, physically and psychologically at a profound level. Many experience the change almost immediately, some after a couple of sessions, and with regular practice this improvement will only get stronger.

Although I specialise in Meditation for Grief, my Teachings are for all, whether you are a Parent, Carer, a Manager, Teacher, a CEO, work within The Corporate World, the NHS and Charities.  Indeed. I work with 2 large Charities ; Little Havens Hospice for Children in Benfleet, Essex and Action for Happiness, and donate 10% of my profits to Little Havens Hospices .

I offer my services for 1-2-1's, Couples, families, small group classes/courses/workshops, in person and On Line with the utmost confidentiality and compassion.

Stress and Anxiety is the main factor for strokes, heart attacks and dis-ease of the body. 

Introducing and maintaining Meditation into our lives as a daily practice ensures we are allowing our parasympathetic nervous system to do its job, to heal, rejuvenate and transform us for longevity, happiness, kindness and gratitude.
