7 Minute Guided Meditation – World Meditation Day 2021

//  by 

If you don't have a regular meditation practice, then today is a good time to start as it's World meditation day. This is a time to remember that in a World that seems to have distractions at every turn, going inwards is more important than ever. While there may be barriers to sitting for an hour for meditation most of us can carve out 5-10 minutes of our day. Which is why I'm fond of shorter sessions, like this 7 minute guided meditation. Experienced meditator's may find it easy to sit …

Meditation is yoga – Free 5 minute meditation MP3

//  by 

I'm often confused when people people say they "don't do yoga, but do meditation". Why? Because, they are one and the same. Meditation is a part of a yoga practice. If you have a meditation practice, you have a yoga practice. In the West people are lead to believe that yoga is just the bendy poses [asana] seen on instagram. And yes, that's also a part of yoga. But, you see yoga isn't limited to one thing. The word yoga has been taken over to encompass something that is only a small part …

Using Coloring as meditation – Free Printable Coloring Page

//  by 

Cast your mind back to when you were a child and you got a new coloring book, or a set of crayons or new paints. Remember how happy you were? But something happens as we age. We allow the opinions of others to influence how we spend time pursuing joy. Ask yourself "when and why did I stop being artistic?". Because chances are that desire is still there. Especially if you find yourself sitting at table with a bunch of 5 year old's coloring. Unless you've been living under a rock you might have …

30 minute Yogalates workout – Combining Yoga and Pilates for a Mindful Workout!

//  by 

Sharing my 30 minute yogalates workout. Typically I'm a high-energy person but somedays (ie: most of winter) I struggle. On those days I have what I call my MVW. A minimum viable workout that I do to check my workout off my to-do list. It's a more mindful exercise class that's slow and allows me to go inwards while working on maintenance without going "hard". Don't be fooled it's not 'easy'. The challenge here is staying mindful and seeing it through! If you can’t view the embedded video …

Last month I took a much-needed week off and did absolutely nothing. Seriously, all I did was fun stuff. No work, very little chores, and just had chill time, me time, and fun.

This is why this month's free printable is thank you coloring pages, and a bonus printable card. Due to the pandemic, it's been almost 2 …

PKD keto diet – 18 month update and Q&A

//  by 

Last year I created a couple of posts about my experience with intermittent fasting, polysystic kidney disease and my plan to try the vegan keto diet. Since then I've gotten a TON of questions on those posts and videos. While I tried to reply to as many comments as possible, it was clear that there was a lot of information dotted around video and blog comments. So I decided it was time to collate everything in one area. So this is my PKD keto diet update. Did it help my increase my GFR? Reduce …
