There are many different types of meditation—and all of them are valuable. But nothing created such profound change in me as Vedic Meditation.

When I first learned six years ago, the shift was undeniable. Out of all the benefits, one of my favourites has been becoming less reactive.

Of course, we need to be reactive in certain situations—that’s part of survival. But we don’t need to sweat the small stuff. In this modern world of constant stimulation and busy lifestyles of noise and pressure, being less reactive feels like a superpower.

It doesn’t take willpower to meditate. Just 20 minutes to sit comfortably and close your eyes.
No effort. No forcing. No trying to stop your thoughts.

Vedic Meditation works by doing less, not more. You sit comfortably, close your eyes, and allow your nervous system to access a state of deep rest — far deeper than sleep.

In that rest, stress begins to dissolve, clarity returns, and you feel more like yourself again.

Getting jobs done at 7pm (thanks the daylight savings). Refilling the chickens’ dust bath.

If you keep chickens, you’ll know this is essential.
They use dust baths to keep parasites under control and keep their feathers healthy.

Two bags of sand, some diatomaceous earth, a bit of compost and tea tree mulch — mix it all through, ready for them to dig, roll and flap in.

On a hobby farm there’s always something that needs doing.
Water to refill. Animals to check on. Fences to fix. Gardens to maintain. Grass to cut.

The job list never really ends.

But there’s something about the rhythm of caring for animals and the land that feels purposeful for us. It’s not for everyone.

The rhythm of nature restores what modern life can deplete — grounding the mind, calming the nervous system, and reminding us that we’re part of the living world too.

I just. finished the very last drop of my skin-nourishing oil… which meant it was time to head into the apothecary corner and make a fresh batch.

This one is divine.

50% avocado oil
30% jojoba oil
10% castor oil
The remainder: vitamin E, rosehip oil and a powerful blend of pure essential oils — lavender, frankincense, myrrh, helichrysum, yarrow pom and Ice Blue (around 10 drops of each) in a 500ml amber glass bottle.

Deeply restorative. Intensely nourishing. Beautifully healing.

We often forget that our skin isn’t just something that holds all our bits in. It’s a living, breathing organ. It protects us. It detoxifies. It communicates with the world around us.

It deserves real nourishment — not synthetic crap.

Interrupted sleep is often a sign that our nervous system isn’t switching off. When we carry the stress of the day into the night, true rest becomes nearly impossible.

When the body holds on to stress from the day, it doesn’t just vanish at bedtime. Even while you’re lying in bed, your system may still be on high alert, pumping out stress hormones and keeping you in a light, interrupted sleep state.

“When sleep is disturbed, everything else follows; Hormones go off balance, digestion weakens, emotions become reactive and energy and focus decline” - Sheila Patal, MD.

Vedic Meditation is a technique backed by thousands of years of wisdom and now supported by modern science. It allows your body to enter a deep state of rest twice daily, helping to clear accumulated stress and restore balance to your nervous system — so by the time you go to bed, you’re not wired… you’re ready.

✨ Learn this life-changing technique in just 4 x 1.5 hour sessions.

India isn’t just visually interesting. It’s historically and culturally deep in a way that’s hard to grasp until you’re standing in it.

Carved doors. Stone floors worn down by centuries of people walking the same paths. Archways that have seen empires come and go. Status and flowers for devotion.

Places like this remind you how small your own timeline really is.

I’ve only been to India once so far, but it had a big impact on me. Being there deepened my understanding of the Vedas in a way reading about them never could. In India the philosophy isn’t separate from life — it’s woven into daily rituals, devotion and culture.

What also stood out was the different relationship to “stuff.” Western culture is largely built around consumption and accumulation. In many places in India there seems to be less emphasis on that and more acceptance of life as it unfolds.

Travel does something to the brain as well. Research shows new environments increase cognitive flexibility and build new neural pathways. In simple terms — seeing different ways of living changes how you think.

As Rob and I get older and realise we’ve probably lived more years than we have left, experiences like this are becoming more important to us than accumulating more things.

India definitely left me curious to learn more.

People are often surprised when I say I’m on hormone replacement therapy.

For years I thought HRT was only for women battling hot flushes and wild mood swings during perimenopause.

My situation was different. I was post-menopause and failing at the gym. Losing muscle mass but getting fatter at the midline. So, I finally listened to my urologist to check out Dr Louse Newson.

There’s starting to be more conversation about the peri-menopause stage, but almost no one talks about what happens after menopause.

Yes, it’s a natural biological transition. But very few doctors explain how the drop in oestrogen removes a significant level of protection in the body — protection that helps guard against diseases like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, dementia and even diabetes.

My mind was opened after listening to
Not all GP’s are across this information either 🙄 I had to seek one out. Thankfully I found who has been a wealth of knowledge.

The whole thing made me start thinking more broadly about longevity and disease prevention. Because while there seems to be a strange hush around telling women that the loss of oestrogen opens the door to diseases like cancer, the government has no problem broadcasting nightly TV ads warning us about the dangers of ci******es.

And they’re just as quiet about the huge risks of the ultra-processed food and alcohol, which most people consume every day. These things that are also placing a huge burden on the health system.

So I wrote about it. Hormones. The gym. Longevity. And the hypocrisy of the government.

The things we’re not talking about.

Rumi (Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī) was a 13th-century Persian poet, mystic, scholar and Sufi teacher. His words weren’t written from theory or philosophy alone — they arose from lived, embodied spiritual experience.

Centuries later, his poetry is still read because it speaks directly to the inner life.

When Rumi says, “Listen to silence. It has so much to say,”He’s pointing to a truth known in all ancient wisdom traditions:
that the deepest knowledge doesn’t come from thinking — it comes from settling.

Silence, in this sense, isn’t the absence of sound. It’s the absence of inner noise. The quiet that remains when the nervous system is no longer braced, striving, or defending. When the mind softens, something else becomes perceptible — intuition, clarity, presence.

In the Vedic tradition, this silence is called Being.

Vedic Meditation doesn’t try to force quiet or control thoughts. It allows the mind to naturally transcend surface activity, giving the nervous system deep rest. From there, silence reveals itself — effortlessly.

Faithful black kelpies with bright amber eyes,
Harvest-filled baskets that’s nature’s surprise,
Red garden roses whose perfume still sings,
These are a few of my favourite things.

When the urban crawl bites,
When the workday begins,
When the silence thins,
I picture quiet days in the garden with a chorus of birds singing.
And then I don’t feel so bad.

These fishermen in Sri Lanka sit perched above the tide — not fighting the ocean, not trying to control it. Simply adjusting, moment by moment, moving with nature.

Like that, we can work with nature or we can fight it. But when we fight it, the battle is always exhausting. And nature — the cosmos, universal intelligence, Brahman, God… whatever language resonates — doesn’t lose.

There’s an order to things. A rhythm.
Sometimes the obstacles aren’t punishments; they’re redirections, a nudge back toward alignment when we’ve drifted off course.

What I’ve learned through Vedic Meditation isn’t how to make the waves disappear. It’s how to stop being thrown around by them. Each time we sit down for 20 minutes and gently repeat our personalised mantra given by our teacher, we move beneath the surface of the mind to a place of deep rest and stillness, dissolving stored stress and restoring the nervous system bit by bit with every meditation.

When the nervous system gets that deep rest, it stops overreacting. When the mind settles each day, clarity replaces constant agitation. And you begin to move more in tune with nature — and with your own intuition.

🧘‍♀️ Ancient Wisdom. Modern Calm.
