Folks, that’s all for today!

Be at peace.

A series on Meditation (not the first but this one seems better)

Listen. The first episode, broadcast on the 10th May, 2022, is about the benefits of Meditating. It is a reminder that a short, daily period of Meditation, just ten minutes a day, is so valuable. Here is the link:

The second episode is thirty minutes and speaks of Body Positivity. Here is the link:

The link to the first of the Ten Minute Meditations comes shortly. Here is the description:

Deepak Chopra leads a guided meditation to help us understand how we can adapt to change and make consciously informed choices. Deepak is a physician, world-renowned speaker and author on integrative wellbeing and spiritual intelligence who encourages us to welcome transformation within us. The music that soundtracks Deepak’s guided meditation was composed by Erland Cooper and recorded by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and violinist Freya Goldmark.
