Time to be more aware….

In the last few days I have been shown a lot of videos on the cruelty to animals for our consumption. I am not going to start preaching to you all as don’t feel that is my place to do so, but I really do think it is important to be more conscious of what we are consuming.  We live in a world where there is a lot of greed, violence and trauma but also in the same place there is a lot of love, compassion and kindness, so lets tap into the latter!

I am asking each and everyone who reads this to become more aware of your actions… be it walking down the street with a frown on our face as this might have a negative affect on the person walking towards you to snapping at a loved one because we are tired or knowing what we are eating and where it has come from. 

Become responsible for your actions, as the reaction can be much greater.  Remember a simple decision in our lives can have a huge impact on many others around us.

Shanti shanti shanti

Ssshhhh its a Secret!

Choose your words wisely.... Thoughts are very magnetic in that when you think a thought, more and more similar thoughts arise. This is why you want to break a negative thought pattern that does not serve you....

A few years ago I read a book called “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne

And it really change my life.  The book is all about the Law of Attraction.  The simple yet very challenging concept of what you think and say you bring into your life.

 It is important to be aware of the thought patterns in our heads as the universe hears exactly what we ask for and will manifest them for you! 

So be careful what you ask for…. As you might just get it!

Got to know what your running from before you know where your running to...

"Got to know what your running from before you know where your running to" is a line out of a song "Big BW" by Fat Freddy's Drop" I was ironically running this morning and was listening to this song and it made me stop and smile and think....

I feel that from my own experience it is so important to deal with our past and what makes us run in the first place, the things that make us make the same patterns over and over again before we can really move on in our journey we call life.  

On the first night of a Ganesh retreat we ask our guests to do a walking meditation, we get everyone to take their shoes off and walk outside very very slowly, asking them to be very conscious of each step they take.  It is amazing how difficult it is to balance when you are walking that slowly which shows us that we are always running so fast in our daily lives that when we slow right down we can see that we are not quite as balanced as we should be and also quite ungrounded. 

Try doing a walking meditation (you can do it inside if it is too cold outside – we do it outside as walking barefoot on the earth is a very grounding exercise in itself.)  it will make you aware of how much you need to slow down and once we slow down you can really see what your patterns are and how to break them if you need to…
