Live Well with Lowri (2025)

09/11/2025

🍂 week 45/52 • 2025 🍂
Knowing when to allow and when to push is an under-appreciated life skill. Something that I have worked hard on this year and reaping the rewards towards the end of the year. Finding ease in the push and pull of life. Mastering the dance when the song keeps changing. C’est la vie.

✨ MINDFULNESS WHEN THE DARK ARRIVES ✨
As the days grow shorter and the evenings draw in, our world becomes quieter, slower, darker. For some, this shift brings comfort and a chance to cosy up and turn inward. For others, it can feel heavy, even a little lost in the dark.
But mindfulness reminds us that light still exists, even here.
It lives within us, waiting to be noticed.
🕯️ Slow down.
🕯️ Notice your thoughts.
🕯️ Create small, mindful rituals through your favourite things: your morning coffee, a slow walk in nature, or your evening skincare routine.
This week on my Substack blog, I’ve written all about “Mindfulness When the Dark Arrives”, how to find calm and clarity when the days feel dimmer.
☕ Read it via the link in my bio and take a few mindful moments for yourself.
If you’d like to explore this theme more deeply, I’ve got some beautiful events coming up to help you reconnect with your inner light:
✨ GROW YOUR LIGHT – Online Workshop
A cosy 90-minute evening of mindfulness and writing to help you nurture warmth and light from within ☕️
🌲 MINDFULNESS WINTER WALK – 5th December
Join me and Janire at Haughmond Hill for a mindful woodland walk, meditation, and nature journaling ✍🏼
🧘‍♀️ YOGA STORIES: The Dancer – 5th December
Our festive yoga evening exploring the story behind Dancer Pose through movement, meditation, journaling… and a few mince pies! Join myself and at 🕯️
Let’s welcome the dark together and remember that your light never leaves, it just glows differently. 💫

🎃 Week 44/52 🎃
Not sure where that week came from! One of those rare, balanced weeks where everything slotted into place without any resistance or pushing. Worked hard, played hard. Rounded it off with a good dose of golden hues. Thanks nature 💛

💭 Reflecting on my recent mindful moments 💭
Mindfulness isn't just meditation; it's being present in your daily life. You don't need a fancy setup or a step-by-step guide. Simply be aware of your surroundings, anytime and anywhere. Can you be present in this moment?
Try this: next time you're on your phone, take a moment to notice the sensation of it in your hands. Feel the weight, the texture against your skin. That's mindfulness! ✨ Share your own mindful moments in the comments below.

🌲✨ The Christmas rush is coming… but what if you pressed pause instead?

Black Friday will have been and gone. The to-do lists, the wrapping paper, the “just one more thing before the holidays” chaos — all starting to swirl. 🎁🎄

Before it all sweeps you up, join and Janire for a soul-soothing mindfulness walk at Haughmond Hill — a gentle 90-minute wander designed to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself and nature. 🍃

This isn’t a fitness walk. There’s no finish line or pace to keep.
It’s about presence — the scent of pine, the crunch of leaves, the soft winter light through the trees. A chance to pause, reflect, and reset before the festive whirlwind.

Together, we’ll explore mindful moments through:
🌲 A grounding meditation
🍃 A sensory journey through the five senses
🖊 Nature journaling

Expect a calm, nurturing space where you can exhale, unwind, and rediscover that quiet inner peace that gets lost in the December madness.

📅 Date: Friday 5th December 2025
🕧 Time: 12:30pm – approx. 2:00pm
📍 Location: Haughmond Hill, near Shrewsbury
📏 Distance: 5 km (3 miles)
⛰️ Ascent: 50m
🔀 Difficulty: Beginner-friendly
👣 Spaces: Limited to 15 participants

🎒 What to Bring: Warm layers, journal, blanket or sit mat, comfy shoes, a flask of something cosy, and your favourite coloured pencils.

Led by Janire, Mountain Leader & founder of Ray of Sun Adventures, and Lowri, Ecologist & Mindfulness Teacher — together we’ll guide you through a mindful forest experience to restore calm, focus, and joy, even in the depths of winter.

✨ This is just the beginning.
We’re exploring the idea of making this a regular monthly event in 2026, and we’d love your feedback to help shape it for the Ray of Sun Adventures community.

🌞 Spaces are limited to 15 — book your spot now: https://www.rayofsunadventures.com/event-details-registration/mindfulness-walk-shropshire

Bring your journal, your curiosity, and your comfiest layers.
Let’s wander, pause, and breathe together beneath the winter trees. 💛

🐑 Week 43/52 🐑

It’s so easy to forget all the amazing moments that make up a single week. That’s why I love these weekly summaries: a few quiet minutes each Sunday to appreciate the people, experiences, and emotions that have shaped my days. Some weeks feel light and joyful, others heavy and challenging. Life ebbs and flows. It never pauses or waits for us to catch up. It carries us forward to our final destination… Sometimes whole and intact, sometimes in pieces.

Life is a lot. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It doesn’t need to look like a Hollywood blockbuster or sparkle like a gold bar. Messy chaos can be beautiful too, just like the heap of colourful autumn leaves gathered at the end of your drive.

Journal prompt:
✍🏼 What are three small moments from this week that made life feel meaningful, even if they weren’t perfect?

Did you know that I’ve had voice training⁉️
In North Wales, all Welsh schools would compete at the Eisteddfod; a traditional Welsh festival celebrating literature, music, and performance. Most children were encouraged to take part, and I decided to recite a piece of Welsh literature alone on stage one year.
At the time, I was a quiet and timid child, so I’m not quite sure where that confidence came from 😂. For months, I had one-on-one voice training to learn how to recite with emotion and connect deeply with an audience. I was the youngest competing and got 3rd place 🥉🥰🤭
These days, I use my voice a little differently… To bring calm, relaxation, and rest to my yoga students. Many people tell me after class how soothing my voice feels 💜. I love that something I once practised for competition now helps others find peace.
The voice truly is a powerful tool.
Have you ever noticed how a voice can change how you feel?
✨ If you want to sample the power of my voice, why not join us for the next Yoga Stories workshop ? I will guide you through a beautiful meditation ✨ Send me a DM for the link 🔗

😶‍🌫️ week 42/52 • 2025 💫
Garbled mind purge: A week of Shroobs in the gloom 🌫️. A thick blanket of cloud and not much sunlight. When the sky is glum in autumn, look down. The colour is on the floor 🍂. Remember to take your vitamin d sups. This was probably the most productive week of the year. Leaf litter and shrooms adorned our nature spaces 🍄🍄‍🟫🍄. Finally got my recovery back up to 100% after working on nervous system regulation for 3 weeks. This health malarkey is a long game. No quick fixes. 10 weeks left of 2025. So much potential. Let’s go 🙌🏻✨ {does anyone actually read this stuff? 💩😂}
