Come and rest, just as you are. A Yoga Nidra to ease you into sleep.

Let the hum of “must-dos” and “should-dos” gently dissolve as you settle into stillness.
There’s nothing to fix, nothing to chase, only this moment, and your breath.

Did you know?
Studies have shown that regularly practicing gratitude can lead to significant increases in happiness and overall well-being. Even a few minutes of focused appreciation each day can help shift the mind toward more positive, peaceful states.

Energy, what comes up for you when you hear this word?

If you asked someone else, would their answer be the same?

For some people they may think of caffeine, sports, electricity, waves. A biologist may think of mitochondria, a yoga practitioner may think of the breath.

Pranayama, (prana meaning breath as well as energy) are ancient breath practices that can help us shift our energy, just as our posture and our mindset can. All of these are deeply connected, depending on your personal story, it may be easier to access one pathway before another.

Energy is like the wind, we cannot stop it or create it, but we can choose where to direct it or convert it.

If you consistently work your biceps, directing your energy there, your arms will grow stronger. The same is true for the mind. What you read, learn, and return to again and again becomes part of who you are.

Perhaps this is how heartfelt intentions are truly realised, through direction. By guiding energy toward the life you wish to live and the world you wish to live in through making small decisions and gentle habits that are supportive, which may start for yourself but the positive results may ripple out into the world.

How yoga cultivates inner trust.

As babies we trust unquestionably, as time goes by, questions and doubts start developing. As we grow up we may encounter experiences where we feel that our bodies or minds have let us down, we may start replacing our felt senses (physical feeling to situations) with what the world tells us. If we don’t tune into ourselves the outer worlds voice is a lot louder! This isn't to say ‘don’t listen to others’ it’s to say have respect and courage to listen to yourself.

So how does yoga help you cultivate self trust? Starting with the physical, if you’ve experienced a serious or long term illness then yoga can meet you where you’re at & help you develop physical & mental strength to move and mingle through your day. It can help you connect & make friends with yourself. We may encounter asanas in yoga which are challenging, I hope that you do! It isn’t about being able to do the asana it’s about how you navigate physically and also mentally in the practice. You are facing a small challenge in a safe space where you can cultivate loving kindness & trust as well as strength.

To quote Jill Miller ‘Our body thinks in feels’ Fascia is a fibrous web that’s in every layer of you body including the endocrine system. It transmits hormones, including adrenaline & estrogen. It’s also involved with neurotransmitters such as GABA (which relaxes and helps us sleep) serotonin & dopamine. Gentle and mindful movement helps to keep the fascia fluid, keeping our minds and bodies centred. Not to forget those moments when we allow our body and breath to guide us when we give ourselves the time.

Being centred can help us make better decisions and trust the ‘craziest’ of them. Think of a time when you went with your intellect rather than your bodily felt decision and realised in hindsight that maybe the latter would have been better. Yoga can take us to a place of calm so that with time we build confidence and trust to follow our bodies messages.

I do not want to normalise being stressed and busy with Christmas but all the reels I see at the moment are funny sketches of mums on the cusp of burn out with the "must dos' of Christmas. I also get pulled into the tide of 'got to get it done' This video shows several ways to center yourself if you feel yourself going into overwhelm.
You don't need to do every single one, one practice that resonates can be enough.
I often ask myself the questions at the end and the answers that come back when from my anchored space are always reassuring, calming and remind me what is important so that I can go about my day more centered, connected and productive.
Have a go and let me know how it goes 😊

I am a yoga therapist and somatic coach NOT a neuroscientist, so talking about which parts of the brain light up is not really in my scope of practice but I do occasionally suggest clients start a gratitude practice and these are the reasons why.

💫Increased positive mood / positive emotions

💫potentually reduces depression and anxiety symptoms

💫small to moderate enhancement of overall mental well-being when gratitude practices are REGULARLY used

Below are some of the research papers out there. The findings are that the effects are positive but mild. I think this is important to note, it's not a quick fix, it's a doorway and a step into a place that's easier to navigate.

Key research papers on gratitude:

Emmons, R. A., & McCullough, M. E. (2003). Counting blessings versus burdens: An experimental investigation of gratitude and subjective well-being in daily life.

Wood, A. M., Froh, J. J., & Geraghty, A. W. A. (2010). Gratitude and well-being: A review and theoretical integration. Clinical Psychology Review.

Davis, D. E., et al. (2016). Gratitude interventions: A meta-analysis (J. Counseling Psychology). — Meta-analytic summary

Kerr, S. L., O’Donovan, A., & Pepping, C. A. (2015). Can gratitude and kindness interventions enhance well-being in clinical samples?

Geraghty, A. W. A., et al. (2020). Gratitude Interventions: Effective Self-help? A meta-analysis. Journal of Happiness Studies. — Meta-analysis finding small reductions in depression/anxiety and improvements in well-being.
