How to help with stress right now?

 I'm sure that when we all first heard about the coronavirus, many of us believed it would be over in a few months, nothing to worry too much about.....but here we are ending the year and it is still very much here!

The Indian Government has always placed a large emphasis on health and well being and our emotional state, noting things such as the role of Ayurveda and exercise.  This is wonderful to see, as our emotional health is very important.  

As this crisis continues on, we can find ourselves in a constant state of stress or heightened anxiety.....finding ourselves getting upset or agitated at the smallest things.  Stress during normal times can be difficult enough but extreme times like this can make it much worse.  So how are you looking after your stress levels right now?

Here are some handy ways to help tackle that stress.

• Meditation! Whether it's listening to relaxing music, guided meditations or sitting in quiet contemplation, try to start your day with some quiet meditative time.
• Being realistic - There are many things we would all like to be doing right now, or things we have missed out on or failed situations but be realistic on what you can achieve right now, otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure and added pressure.
• Finding things to be grateful for each day.  You can even start a gratitude diary where you can write down what you are grateful for each day.
• Watch a comedy/funny video.  Laughter and smiling helps to release endorphins which lift us up.
• Getting up and being active.  This can help break that rut and you only need do it for a few minutes and you'll notice the difference.  Perhaps stick on your favourite song and dance round the room!  Or yoga for thoughtful breathing and connecting with the body.
• Take a call with friends and family.  It's amazing what a video call with friends and family can do to help you feel supported and that even if you can't see them in person, you can still be connected to them.
• Continue eating a healthy diet.  At times of stress we can end up eating food which leaves us feeling stodgy and bloated.  Try to maintain a healthy diet.  Not only will you be getting the right nutrients but you will feel good within yourself too.
• Burn a nice scented candle, incense or oil burner full of uplifting, calming or de-stressing scents, whatever it is you are wanting to achieve, to help relieve your state of mind.

Look after body and mind and it will help look after you✨

One to One meditation sessions

Meditation is often one of those things we plan to get round to but we find it hard to prioritise or we struggle to do on our own and need a little guidance. Perhaps we're unsure 'how to' meditate or similar to an exercise class, we want someone to meditate along with.

In the one to one meditation session we look at several forms of meditation so that you can experience several different ways of meditating. We begin with a breath awareness meditation, followed by a zen stillness meditation which is a form of meditation often practiced by others and can take some time to master, then a visual guided meditation where you can switch off and listen to me guide you into a deeper state and where suggestions are used that can support and help you in your day to day life.

The one to one session will provide you with an introduction to the meditations and the skills to practice this on your own. A pre-recorded recording for the breath awareness will be sent out after the session so that you can continue to practice this at home on your own to develop your meditation practice further.

The sessions can be taken in person, at the studio or can be conducted via Skype so that you can have the session in your own home.

Session price 1200Rs or 4 sessions for 4000Rs paid in advance.

The meditation session itself is 1 hour total with some extra time for discussing any questions you may have or coming round from the meditation itself.

Silence the mind, centre yourself, experience the serenity within so you can hear the whispering of the soul.

Don't forget, we offer meditation too!

As many of you know, I am now back massaging....and what I'm finding is how much tension many of you have in your scalp!

Our head's tend to carry a lot of the stress and tension and even if we don't think we're that stressed our head and muscles tell us otherwise.  During unprecedented times like this, we can spend a lot of time in our head, thinking and processing and there is a collective stress out there as we all come to terms with a silent virus.  It's a lot to have to cope with and that's where meditation helps.  A few people asked if we would be starting the sound meditation group, in a social distancing way soon and I'm looking to do that if there is enough interest there.  

There would be up to a maximum of four people although it's likely I'd keep that at 3 people.  Sessions would be the same price as when we did the larger group, so at 500Rs each.  

You're welcome to put your own small group together, so perhaps make it a family or friends group.  I'd offer a special rate compared to what's on my website, so for two people it would be 700Rs each and for 3 or 4 of you 500Rs each.   I also offer one to one sound meditation (1400Rs) so you can have your own private session where you can completely switch off and find yourself in a deeply relaxed state.

There's also the option of guided meditation where this can be offered in a group of two people or on a one to one basis.  This needs to be  smaller number due to the fact that you have to hear my voice!  The special rate for that would be 700Rs each or one to one at 1200Rs.

The guided meditation session can also be done online via zoom if you like the idea of a privately constructed guided meditation session without physically being present. We begin with a breathe awareness meditation together, body scan to relax and release tightness held in the muscles and a guided visualisation.

So, there's many ways to switch off the mind, create clarity and space to think or process or  to simply be.

What is guided meditation?

GUIDED MEDITATION

If you’re the kind of person who finds it hard to meditate or switch off the mind, with so many thoughts running through it, then guided meditation is for you.

Sessions are 1 hour long with 50 minutes for the meditation itself. We begin by Dannie using hypnotic relaxation techniques to put you at ease and guide you to a place of peace and tranquillity. Through the guided meditation, you will be taken on a magical adventure and to a state of deep relaxation and inner calm.

There the guided meditation element will come to an end and you can enjoy a quiet meditative state for 20 minutes where you might want to process any thoughts that come up or enjoy holding that tranquil state. The time is for you to enjoy your meditation in the way that suits you. Then Dannie will slowly and gradually bring you back out of this state in to the real world where you can bring some of that calmness with you.

This treatment is ideal for those who struggle with other forms of meditation, deep thinkers, those who find it hard to switch off or who are experiencing stress.

Sessions are priced at 1200 rs for one to one sessions.
