SETTING UP YOUR DAY Getting out of the wrong side of baed is a phrase awarded to those who are not at their best. Perhaps lifestyle – stress, coupled with poor diet, over-indulgence of the wrong food types, plus late nights and lack of sleep are contributing factors. Or maybe negative thoughts and holding patterns may be contributing to a depressed mood. If the mornings are usually a struggle, there may a number of things that need to change.

Female warriors are as much to blame for adopting this hardened, cold and emotionless approach to leadership, resulting in corruption, trauma, misery and suffering in the world. The warrior is defined by the actio...

  TIME TO LOOK INWARD Preparation For Meditation Find a comfortable position to sit in. Lying down is not a preferable option in meditation practices as one is more likely to fall asleep than to access a meditative trance state. So find a comfortable seating position. If you suffer from lower back pain, then it is advisable to sit against a wall. Humming Exercise Take a deep breath in and around the eyes and across the forehead. Next 'mememememememememe' then 'mamamamamamamama', then the vowels 'a,e,i,o,u' feeling the sound vibrating across your face. Then use 'n', feeling the vibration up your nose and in your sinuses. Next we are going to practice the mantra 'OM', this should be a deep resonance in your face and also internally all the way to your belly. Visualise the sound coming from the third eye chakra and also being absorbed by the same chakra space. This is quite an advanced technique, but trying the visualising technique can evoke a more...
