There was a huge rainbow over Southbank just after I came out of the Yoko Ono exhibition 🌈

I believe rainbows are a message that my ancestors and departed relatives are with me.

It feels like a good sign. What do you think? 💜

Really excited to have qualified as a sound healer and receive my certificate in sound healing today from 🥳

I’ve never thought of myself as ‘musical’ but this training has really built my confidence to trust my intuition and hold the space.

Looking forward to delivering some mindful sound baths. 💜

It’s snowing in London and I’ve just opened my advent calendar! ❄️☃️

I’ve been ill with Covid the last week, but am feeling excited to get the festive season underway.

It comes with a link to a free workshop that I like to watch every year to help me feel calm and peaceful for this busy time of year. 🕊️ 🙏🏽

It’s my seasonal gift to you! 💝

Mindfulness really does work...

Yet another study has shown that taking an eight-week mindfulness course improves mental health.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge found that adults who completed teacher-led mindfulness training programmes suffered less anxiety and depression for at least six months afterwards.

I'm a much calmer person since training in mindfulness and have repeatedly witnessed the benefits in students who complete my courses. Still, it's always nice to have the scientific backing too!

Adults who voluntarily take part in mindfulness courses are less likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression for at least six months after

The most damaging myth about meditation…

I’ve been quiet on here for a while, but I feel compelled to post after a meeting I attended yesterday...

The topic of mindfulness came up and I was shocked that so many people expressed they were ‘bad at meditation’ because they couldn’t keep their minds clear.

I think this is the BIGGEST myth about meditation and it makes me feel so sad when I hear people feeling like they have failed for this reason!

❌ Myth: Meditation requires a blank mind, free from any thoughts or distractions. If your mind wanders you are 'failing’.

The truth is that every time your mind wanders can be seen as a moment of SUCCESS because it shows you have awareness of what your mind is doing - this is mindfulness!

Our minds are naturally active and dynamic. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations arise as we navigate through life's beautiful tapestry. In meditation, we're not seeking to banish these experiences but rather to cultivate a compassionate relationship with them.

💡 Reality: Mindfulness is about observing our thoughts without judgement and gently returning our focus to the present moment. It's a practice of awareness, acceptance, and non-attachment.

🧘‍♀️ Embracing the truth: Allow your mind to be a vibrant canvas during meditation!

Instead of feeling frustrated when thoughts arise, acknowledge them with kindness. The magic lies in returning your attention to your breath, bodily sensations, or chosen anchor of focus.

💫 Remember: Meditation is NOT about achieving a clear mind, but about cultivating awareness of your thoughts and making a choice about how to respond to them.

Let go of the pressure to attain a perfectly still mind. Embrace the beautiful messiness of your thoughts, knowing that every time you notice your thoughts wandering is actually a magical moment of awareness.

Dear Mindful community,

I hope this message finds you well! 💜

Today, I want to share that I'm taking a social media break to reflect on the next steps for The Mindful Diva.

Over the past few years, it has been an honour to share my journey and knowledge with you all on this platform.

However, I'm feeling the desire to take some time away from social media to refocus my energy and intentions.

During my time away, I'll be reflecting on an exciting new direction for my mindfulness business. 💃

I want to thank each of you for being a part of this incredible community, and I look forward to sharing more with you when I return.

With love and gratitude,
Tammy xx

Happy Easter or whatever you celebrate at this time of year! 🐰🍫

The long weekend is a lovely opportunity to slow down and reflect as we move into the warmer months of the year.

After a busy March, I’ve been enjoying some hardcore rest!

I feel like I need breaks to integrate, restore my creativity and feel into my next level.

One of the things I teach is to take a break before you need it (as opposed to when you’re already exhausted). Give yourself permission to rest without guilt!

Wishing you a lovely and restorative weekend! 💜

Happy April! 🌸☔️

I brought in the month with the most amazing vegan cheese and wine

If you think there’s no good vegan cheese you have to try this place! Plus I was so excited to try orange wine, which I didn’t even know existed! 🥂

Then burnt off the calories with a peaceful walk .

I find cemeteries to be really mindful places for contemplation. What do you think? 🥀
