In the modern world, life is so busy and today too many people are not feeling totally well or happy with their lives. The problem may be a physical health issue such as chronic back or hip pain, it may be work related stress or another mental and emotional health complaint with the most common being depression. Extreme tiredness and chronic fatigue are prevalent and there is an obvious indication that something is out of balance and although at the time it is uncomfortable, something needs to change.

Meditation is extremely effective for stress relief and improving your health. Moreover it’s FREE and can be done practically anywhere. The mind never stops thinking, analyzing, and trying to figure things out – a person has about 70,000 thoughts per day. Yet most of the time we are unaware of this self-talk. What meditation does is still the mind and the constant thoughts for a period of extreme relaxation which reduces stress and anxiety levels – like a pressure release valve. There’s nothing great about average and where has status quo got you? In the doldrums of the dead sea of waiting. Waiting until you are fully inspired. Waiting until something changes or happens or goes away. Status quo is this made-up illusion that most of society buys into. It says what you have is enough, you don’t want to be greedy do you? Enjoy what you have, others don’t have even that much. It says, stay and work towards benefits. It says, who do you think you are? During the last ten years, I have made a concerted effort to take control of my health, tuning into my bio rhythms, eliminating certain foods from my diet, changing the way I exercise and keeping a journal of my health including sleep patterns. I have enjoyed sharing my ideas and my findings with others in the faith that they too can achieve improvements by simply being more aware of themselves. ‘Lose weight’ is usually on the list of unattainable goals, especially as it will be no time before you will need to be baring your body on the beaches. You sigh; you have been here so many times before. Your weight story is a rollercoaster ride and your wardrobe shows this as well. This year - 2017 (mark it in your diary) is different! This year you have discovered Mind Chi. This year you have the opportunity to make a life change for the better and save yourself from wasting all that time and money with futile actions. The Sun has entered into the constellation of Taurus late April bringing a reliable, creative, charming and pleasure seeking hive of activity. Taurus is a fixed sign meaning it likes stability and to know what is happening. Routine is a favourite word for a Taurean with changes bringing about feelings of insecurity. Naturally a possessive and jealous sign, the Bull like energy can kick out with rage if it feels threatened. |
