An introduction to YOGA: Meet Jessica

[Enlighten Me]: YOGA

“Yoga teaches us that we’re not in control”

– Jessica Cervelli, Yoga Teacher

Hi there,

These uncertain times can conjure up a lot of anxiety and stress. But YOGA is helping many people find a sense of calm.

There’s a lot of buzz around “Mindfulness” – being in the present moment. Well, you could say Yoga is like mindfulness – with movement. It can calm the senses, help us feel more balanced, and even be a ‘Reset’ for body, mind and soul!

Meet Jessica Cervelli – a Santa Cruz (California) based Yoga Teacher…

In this short interview, Jessica talks us through a few benefits (and some challenges) from this ancient practice, and much more. Jessica is a gentle guide, gifted at teaching real presence.

May this video be an invitation to be with your breath and ‘be here now.’

Give yourself a little TLC.

Enjoy!…

[VIDEO]:The Fountain of Youth

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH –

Is it possible to feel younger as we get older? Well, for jewellery designer and business man Jerry, from Boulder, Colorado, it certainly feels that way.

He decided to slow down life and find more work/ life balance. And as a result, has made many new discoveries, enhanced his relationships, and found more happiness.

Maybe there really is a fountain of youth, and what a beautiful place to hear about it; at the magical old ‘Chalice Well‘ in Glastonbury, England…

Sweet Freedom: A Joy Ride for you with Dolphins

[VIDEO]

Hi there,

Here’s 2 minutes of Calm and sweet freedom for you… being swept along with Dolphins.

Ever-smiling Dolphins represent peace, harmony… and playfulness!

Notice how they swim in Pods. They are social creatures, and Bottle Nose dolphins like these are even known to be empathetic; cooperating together to rescue the sick. They have much to teach us.

This is raw, uncut footage from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia, kept long to really give you a feel for the experience.

Jump on board and enjoy the ride (and the swim) 🙂

Can you Enlighten Me.. have you been swimming with dolphins? How was the experience for you? I’d love to read your comments below.

So soothing.

Time To Unwind

KEEP CALM
AND
SLOW DOWN

A 30 second breather to stop and unwind…thanks to this beautiful 14th century windmill in Dordogne, France.

When you can’t turn back time, remember you can always slow down!
