Support your body’s natural detox and energy flow with these easy, accessible acupressure points you can massage at home—no tools needed! Perfect for resetting your system and inviting relaxation at the beginning of the year. 🌿

Today is 冬至 Winter Solstice when the nature comes into its deepest stillness where a single Yang energy is brewing (一陽生）.

It’s a great time to spend a quiet day, go solo, look inwards, meditate, get in touch with your true self and feel what truly makes you happy.

I meditated on Leeds United winning 3-0 (they won 4-1 last night) and on manifesting velvet shanks mushrooms growing on the trees where I walked in the park.

What truly brings joy seems very simple! 🧚🏻‍♀️

Enjoy the winter time. Sleep loads. Treat ourselves with lot of silence and stillness!

A lovely surprise on my morning walk!

I am into mushroom foraging and have a strategy of learning to identify 2-3 types of local mushrooms ‘accurately’ per year. So this is one of them for this year, jelly ears… I don’t think there’s another mushroom looking like it that would kill me!

We call them black wood ears (黑木耳). Black food nourishes the Kidney Energy, which dominates the winter time.

I also believe wild food has elevated energetics than cultivated food, especially if you pick it yourself with your own hands (and nearly fell off the tree!) 😄😄

Traditionally, black wood ears make wonderful cold appetiser by first boiling and slicing them, mixing with thinly sliced ginger. Add some grated garlic, a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar… yum yum!

Today I’d like it warm, so into the slow cooker with mung beans and sweet potatoes, simmer til soft, before adding sugar of your choice and coconut cream to taste… yum yum!

Wood ears are said to be good for our body, full of iron, vitamins and fibre. They are supposed to thin your blood, unclog arteries and help you p**p!

Well, no need to think so hard… I pick them with gratitude and eat them because I enjoy it!

Happy wintering!

I had a whole week of unprecedented mental clarity and elevated energy since I returned from the bushcraft course with at Harewood Estate.

I am absolutely desperate to understand why as it feels like a complete upgrade of the body-mind! 😂

Was it because the body was completely exposed outdoors for consecutive 50+ hours? And without artificial light? Was it fresh air? Was it connecting to the Earth magnetic force? Were there magic fairies in the woods?

Did enduring that stormy night under a bare tarp tip my body-mind over the edge? Did I have an Eckhart Tolle moment? 😂

This week is filled with miracles! I was previously feeling the gravitational pull of the seasonal changes, but strangely none of that affects me any more, not a bit! I feel so clear and light despite what’s happening around me…

How is this possible!?… if only I can find that switch!!

3 days of outdoors and sleeping wild seem to be a great antidote to my resistance towards darker and colder days.

I don’t know how I survived the storm on Friday night in a sleeping bag under the tarp… now I feel invincible! 😂

Winter is the prime time to preserve and replenish Kidney Energy which is akin to the saving account for the bodily energy system (vs digestive system as the current account!).

Kidney channel starts from the soles of the feet so keeping feet warm all the time is now super important. Ingest warm food and drinks. Meditate and hibernate…

Happy wintering!

Spring is definitely here. Are you ready?

Days are longer and the air is infused with fresh Yang (& young!) energy!

I will be joining to offer a Spring Yoga day on 22nd March in Ilkley.

I will share concepts and exercises to facilitate the body-mind to stay in harmony with nature and to flow with this seasonal energy into the coming year with ease.

Julia will lead yoga practice, yoga nidra, bringing it into creativity and manifestation.

See Julia’s Eventbrite page to book or for more information.

Heart Sutra, is a scripture that most Buddhists would memorise by heart. I memorised it and recite it often since age 16.

This scripture is one of the most significant, as with Diamond Sutra, and has the most versions of translation in Chinese language.

The most widely recited version was translated in the 7th century by a Buddhist monk called XuanZang (玄奘） who rode a white horse from ChangAn 長安 (the ancient capital of China, now called XiAn) to India, to study and bring scriptures back to China.

The journey took him 7 years and was later written into the famous fiction of Monkey Magic.

His version of translation is most beautiful in literary sense and very succinct, only consists of 260 characters.

Since age 16, for tens of years, I recite and study it, secretively wishing one day I will really understand it and have direct experience during this lifetime.

The most precious gift of last year was to come across Helen’s teaching , that I realise this is possible.

Indeed, I am, and we are all already free. 🙏

3 magic herbs for the best tonic in winter:

- DangGui 當歸 (Angelica root): Blood tonic
- HongZao 紅棗 (Jujuba): Qi tonic
- GoJi 枸杞 (goji berries): Deficiency tonic

They are reliable building blocks to nourish the body and yet easily accessible. You should be able to get hold them in most Chinese supermarkets in this country.

In the part of Asia I came from, they are often used as soup base and can be served as part of the meal.

When I was brewing them today, the aroma reminded of my mother, the cold winter days and the satisfying warm feeling in the tummy…

“You are already free” … like lightening in the depth of a dark night.

Thank you for helping me see, and know that I never left Oneself.

The seeker can now cease seeking 🙏

“Last night’s dream is my teacher, is it the same for you?” - Milarepa

A day of contemplation on Emptiness and finding the Inner Light of Wisdom. Thank you for the teaching, cultivating environment, wonderful learning companions and volunteers.

What a hidden gem and oasis in the middle of the busy centre of Leeds.

Seeing what’s on the wall of an independent shop in Corn Exchange before the class… I know this was all meant to be!
