Dear friends, I have recorded a free guided relaxation if you have time to pause for a little new year rest, refresh and reset. Get a blanket and some cushions ready. There’s a brief introduction at the start, if are new to this type of wellbeing exercise, and lots of simple instructions/ modifications to make it right for you.

The link is below. You will need a zoom account to access, it will ask you for an email address then click straight through ( I will add your email to my marketing mailing list - but you all know I am hopeless at my marketing so you probably won’t ever get anything from me! Or you can always unsubscribe)

I hope it’s useful, restful and nurturing. Thats the aim!!
All the best of love, health and happiness to you and your family in 2022
