 Root Chakra  Colour Of Energy Centre:  Red  Element: Earth  Mantra: Lam  Location: Base of spine  Sansckrit Name: Muladhara  This is the first series of mini blogs based on chakra centres and affirmations.  Affirmations are an additional ritual that can be added to your meditation, mantras and different types of movement practices as you are working on yourself and creating your routines.

I would like to start off by saying that I am so sorry for anyone who has experienced a pregnancy loss. Pregnancy takes you on a journey through different stages month to month and even before seeing your baby, you start to sense and feel changes in your body as it works hard to nurture the babies development. The bond develops even more once you see the baby move and wiggle and this is why a pregnancy loss is such a unique grief. You are mourning a loss of a bond that is directly merged from within. I have experienced two losses and I understand how difficult it can all be. Here are some things that have helped me through my losses.

There is so much to life, yet we tend to forget just how extraordinary the world is. According to my research, there are 195 countries in the world, approximately 8.7 million species of animal and a plethora of other interesting things that are out there. And I mention this because most of us are guilty of boxing ourselves in, out of fear, belief systems and social pressures. But the reality is there is nothing stopping you from stepping outside of the invisible parameters that you live in. I used to find myself feeling stuck because I was living in a little bubble forgetting that there is an unlimited amount of different routes, directions and choices for me to try out. Here are some tips that have helped me: Routines are important as you can cultivate and master things from a good routine. look at your daily patterns and ask yourself how could you change things to better improve your lifestyle.  Mindset; Take time to listen to yourself and look at, how you could impr

When I think about coziness, I think about being warm and comfortable. I picture myself centering into tranquility in the comfort of my home. I usually try and make Sunday my lazy day where I let go of any sense of guilt towards not being productive.  To me, it is simply my day to relax, slow down and refuel my energy. Don't get me wrong, I still potter around doing some light tidying or cooking, but it is all done with minimal stress. Setting The Ambience Creating a nice mood helps you feel a sense of harmony within your living environment and allows you to truly feel relaxed and be at ease at home. It is supposed to be your safe zone and the ultimate place to retreat from the outside world. This means you should be conscious about looking after your home so that you can work towards making your space as inviting and comfortable for yourself as possible. Time for You We often have multiple interactions with people daily, whether it is in person, on the phone,

Most of us desire positive change and development but many of us struggle to keep the momentum going because we have our mind and outside influences to contend with. One thing we can all agree with is that change and development are far from easy and that it requires an ongoing effort. Feeling stuck is demotivating and repetitive and it heavily affects our mood, thought patterns and our overall well-being. This invisible obstacle needs to be looked at as a wake-up call. This helps us take on the necessary steps towards changing things for ourselves. I have found the following tips helpful: Establishing your goals   Write in detail why you wish to change  Write a plan Prepare yourself mentally  Decide to make the commitment to yourself when you are ready Begin your self-work journey Identifying these key areas will help support you on your journey and help you develop some much-needed self-discipline that will attract forth new opportunities and accomplishments.

Aromatherapy has been practised for thousands of years and has continued to serve us in a variety of ways. The oils are used in medicines, cosmetics, recipes, rituals and spas frequently for their aroma, medicinal, ceremonial and therapeutic benefits. Most recently, essential oils have been used in hospitals as clinical complimentary treatments in patient care. This is a positive sign that shows how marrying modern medicines and holistic services together can greatly help with improving well being.  Emotions Our emotions vary and the feelings we experience can unsettle us at times. Essential oils are useful as we can implement them daily to help us with our emotions. There are oils that help to relax, de-stress, boost mood, and stimulate our senses. One of my go-to oils is Frankincense which serves to help with a number of areas. It is an oil that has the potential to balance hormones and can be used to relieve depression and anxiety symptoms.  Body You
