A thing of such deliciousness and nourishment.
Especially in these cold winter months.

A warm chai spice tumeric golden milk.
This is a lovely chai spice recipe, just add a tsp tumeric.
This recipe is for a large amount ~ put in a sealed glass jar ready for your next cuppa.
Warm your spices and slowly add your milk, gently stirring and bring to simmer and let it rest a moment.

Warm yourselves from the inside out 💛

The word ~ Breathwork …
It has always felt a bit off and a bit odd to calling breathing work.
Breathing should not be strained or forced and certainly not work.

Breath is Prana ~ our essential life force that flows naturally through every cell of our beings, if it didn’t it would a necrotic cell, a dead cell.

The profound and ancient knowledge of Pranayama,
Prana ~ life force
Yama ~ lengthening
explored and established a huge body of practise and this has been passed down for centuries through the various yogic lineages.

It is the fourth of the Eight Limbs of Yoga (ashtanga) outlined in the Yoga Sutras by the ancient sage Patanjali. It serves as a bridge between the physical body (asanas) and the mind (meditation), preparing and calming the nervous system for deeper states of awareness and concentration.

In our modern day consumer consciousness, breathing practices are now translated into work, usually accompanied with a lot of huffing and puffing, over stimulation of our nervous systems, agitating the natural directional flows of Prana and often creating out of body, slightly high and trippy states of mind due to the sudden over oxygenation of the cells, all the while increasing Vata dosha in an already vitiated Vata excess society and thereby creating imbalance.

Working with Prana ~ our essential life force is subtle and deep work and requires years of learning and practise.
Let us not confuse the states of the effects of oxygenation with the ancient science of Pranayama.

Are you feeling depleted?

A few red flags 🚩

🚩 have you lost your mojo and joy of being alive?
🚩 not having the energy to do what you would like to
🚩 decision fatigue ~ simple tasks feel overwhelming
🚩 get triggered easily ~ over reactive, irritable
🚩 social withdrawal
🚩 compromised immune system ~ ongoing colds
🚩 unexplained pains, headaches or gastrointestinal
🚩 struggling with insomnia or over sleeping
🚩 reaching for carbs
🚩 desperate for coffee or sugar to boost you

These are really ways your body is desperately trying to communicate with you and calling for deep rest and restoration.
Listen to the messages before deeper more chronic health issues take grip.

In the upcoming retreat
1 ~ 5 July
@ Bodhi Forest
we will be exploring ways to deeply restore and rejuvenate 💫✨💛

So it’s confirmed then ~
No 1 health gig ~ beyond food and vitamins and excercise.

‘DEEP REST is increasingly recognized by science as a fundamental, non-negotiable cornerstone of human health, acting as a crucial, regenerative state that allows the body to repair tissues, consolidate memories, and balance hormones’

It’s the state where the body recovers on a cellular level.

‘Cellular Restoration:
Deep rest helps mitochondria improve energy efficiency and directs resources toward repair.

Immune System Support: Proper rest is essential for a strong immune system and to curb excessive inflammation.

Mental & Emotional Health: It reduces mental fatigue, improves focus and creativity, and helps process emotions to prevent burnout.

Age Management: It can protect telomeres (the protective caps on chromosomes) from damage, promoting longevity.’

Achieved how?
Through deep restorative practices
eg. Pranayama ~ the science of breathing,
restorative yoga poses, therapeutic yoga that calms the nervous system, chanting, meditative activity.

‘Deep rest is not a luxury or a sign of laziness; it is an active, necessary investment in long-term health and vitality.’
