Have You Lost Your Motivation To Coddiwomple?

Coddiwomple is an old English slang verb meaning “to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.” Wonderful isn’t it?

Hypnobirthing - A Personal Perspective

I found, particularly as I got closer and closer to the birth date, that people were desperate to tell me all about the things that could go wrong. I love this quote taken from one of my go-to hypnobirthing books (England and Horowitz's 'Birthing from Within'); ‘We all have beliefs about childbirth... but whose beliefs are they: ours? Or are they adopted from someone else?’

I Am Enough!

For years I have skirted around this statement and have stepped so many times closer to it, but not resting there permanently. Its been this goal that would allow itself to be held in my fingers for a short time and eventually would slip through them like butter that has melted and won’t return to the solid-state.

The quest for anything takes time and patience and the one foot in front of the other mantra, the desire to get to where you want to go has to be strong enough for you to keep going when the going gets tough. I have the Billy Ocean song playing in my head now!!!

Mindfulness Gave Me Stillness I Needed

The ripples of my practice however, are worth their weight in gold, as I watch my children teach their teddybears to meditate and breath, as I hear them sit with each other and talk through their fears, remind each other to breath, and when life gets a bit too much for me, remind me to breath! I realise that this practice, this small thing I decided to have a go at over a decade ago, has not only changed my life, but my childrens and perhaps my childrens, childrens lives.

Affirmations & Meditation

The Twinless Twin

When he died, half of me died with him, it literally felt like I had been chopped in half and for many years I struggled with who I was and where I belonged.

Using numbers with breath

Meditation really is unique, thats why we like to work with many instructors who have different styles of meditation. Meditation isn't about switching off, it's about developing awareness and so switching off doesn't really sound like developing awareness does it?

Your Relaxing Place

We love the relaxing place visualisation. It involves using your imagination and imagining a place that you find to be very relaxing. We teach this visualisation across both our meditation sessions and hypnobirthing sessions and its so effective in helping people to relax and lessen anxiety, especially if they find themselves somewhere they don’t want to be or somewhere they find to be anxiety provoking.
