23 JUN 2024 · If you need a reminder to help begin your Monday mindfully this episode is it.  I'm sharing my Monday morning with you, and taking some time to pause, focus our thinking and setting some intentions for our week.  Let's set an intention this week to spend time unplugged from technology, our screens and mobiles to lower our anxiety levels, to combat stress and to balance our central nervous system.  Take some time to look at the sky, spend time in natural light and practice giving your body the space it needs to know what being relaxed and in a low stimulation environment.  I hope you enjoy listening to this episode.

19 JUN 2024 · I'm going against the part of me that tells me I can't do things out of the box haha! This week I am not sharing a word starting with F, but instead I am jumping to R and writing about the word 'Release' and I'm not just writing about one word but two! The other I think goes in tandem to release, as when we release, it creates the space to receive. Here is Day 6 of my 21 Days of Mindfulness Inspirations.  I hope you enjoy this episode! Cath xoxo

11 JUN 2024 · At the beginning of each year I intuitively pick 2-3 words that describe my intentions. For 2024 one of the words that I felt drawn to was the word 'Ease' defined as 'The absence of difficulty or effort'. An enquiry into navigating life with an increased sense of calm and relaxation, letting go of unnecessary stress and tension and embracing a more effortless way of living. Some people may call it living with more grace. How do we cultivate more ease into our lives. I invite you to be more curious about this. Allow yourself to explore it and what it feels and looks like for you, if you were to live life with more 'ease'. Tune into the 5th episode of our 21 Day Mindfulness Inspirations.  I hope you enjoy listening and taking part in the Mindfulness meditations on each of my episodes.  These are also available on our You Tube channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCavZ3_w0tq0DhBpOUULOJAg or as a written blog here https://www.miabelle.co.nz/post/mindfulness-with-cath-ease Have a blessed day!

4 JUN 2024 · We have reached day 4 of my 21 Day Mindfulness inspirations - amazing! I'm enjoying sharing these reflections with you and my prayer is that these provide you with that space and moment of stillness and contemplation in your busy day and that you come away feeling revived and rejuvenated. Delight - one of my favourite antidotes for a sad or heavy heart. It has the ability to lift you to new heights, cause warmth to radiate from your heart and a smile to form on your lips. It's so important to have tools in our toolbox to empower us to counteract any heaviness, stresses and the pressures that come at us on a daily basis. Our minds can be geared towards looking out for problems or things we identify as wrong because we care or have the desire to fix things. We can honour the fact this can be useful when we need, but not all the time. So training our minds for gratitude, joy, delight and to be still, to pause and to let go is so important for our mental health and well-being.

27 MAY 2024 · Welcome to Day 3 of my 21 Day Mindfulness inspirations where I choose a word each week to write about and for us to focus and meditate on. Mindfulness is simple but can be challenging to implement. So I'm grateful to be able to share some do-able tools to support your journey. I'm happy you've decided to take a few minutes for yourself, remind yourself that the world can wait, and that investing time into your well-being is so important. Coming Home to Ourselves: Embracing Mindfulness In the fast-paced world we live in, the idea of "coming home to ourselves" can feel elusive. We're constantly bombarded with information, demands, and distractions that pull us away from our inner peace and self-awareness. However, mindfulness offers a path to reconnect with our true selves, grounding us in the present moment and fostering a sense of inner calm. I invite you to explore with me how mindfulness can help us come home to ourselves daily and provide practical steps to integrate it into our lives. I dedicated one of our perfume oils 'Coming Home' to this experience of mine of coming home to myself. To be given tools on how to cultivate this for me was life changing. I'd spent a good part of my life not being truly connected to my body and myself. I describe it as living life in a fragmented way and you don't quite know yourself. Parts of myself were even shut down and felt numb. This can be trauma related or you have lived and allowed yourself to be pulled in all sorts of different directions, in both your mind, feelings and body. Regardless of our experience - daily life and navigating our life experiences and journeys can be busy and demanding. A practice of coming home to ourselves on a daily basis, is a beautiful mindfulness practice that we can gift our bodies and well-being.

So I hope you will go on this journey with me as I commit to sharing my love of mindfulness practices, tools and sharing my thoughts with you through my writing. I'm also trying to give my writing some structure and direction haha! … I hope you continue to enjoy it! Cath xoxo  Today I've chosen the word - BELIEVE According to the Collins dictionary, believe comes from the old German words meaning to have trust. To have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so. Only if one believes in something can one act purposefully.

Affectionate words and actions show love, liking, or compassion. Let's explore this word together in this mindfulness exercise.
