Mindful Mediatations

I recently have been sharing what i have been studying with the friends from facebook, youtube, real life etc,.. It is always a bit daunting at first as you don't know how people will react.

I have come to realise there are so many of us with the same interests and way of thinking. As soon as you scratch the surface a wealth of interest, debate and sharing occurs.

My friend Sandra passed on this fantastic link which has some meditations you can download and lots of further information for you to read. I hope you find it as useful as i did.

Mindful Meditations

2 techniques for a making your life more meaningful

I always get nervous when i post a new video on any of my youtube channels. You would think that the Relaxation Channel should be pretty easy channel to post to but its not.

I think the reason is i really want to give something really good with this channel and i want other people to be able to take what they may need from it with a positive attitude.

I wait nervously for criticism, i know it will come and i know it will only help me make the channel stronger and better. But, no one really can honestly say they like being criticised. I guess i love my little channel and its personal to me so it effects me more good or bad comment. That is the beauty of life that good or bad we are experiencing emotion that we can improve ourselves from receiving.

Anyway, what is the new video?

The video below is a chat about what i have been studying and the two techniques that are so simple to add to your daily life.

These techniques just give back some meaning to life and are used to help enjoy life.

They are my personal choice of technique that i get a lot out of. I hope you will benefit too. If you do that is great, if you don't think they will help you that is ok too.

Relaxation Sanctuary update

I have been meaning to do some new videos, podcasts and update my blog here for the last few months. As you will understand sometimes life just directs your focus to other areas. I have also had to cope with ups and downs that makes finding calm time impossible sometimes. I never feel right recording a relaxation video or podcast when i myself am not relaxed.

I hope to get some more information on this blog and some more videos. The positive comments i get left on the youtube site are really encouraging. Knowing i have helped someone in some way is very rewarding.

I am learning new techniques and finding a path of my own all the time. When i have more to share and pass on i will find the time.

Thanks for being patient.

Pema Chodron

Anyone who wants to read a really great book for self help i recommend Pema Chodron. You can even listen to the audio book as your convenience. I was recommended the book, 'The wisdom of no escape'.

It is such a refreshing down to Earth approach to Buddhism teachings. You can take something new from each chapter each time you pick up the book to read it. I have read through the book a few times now and each time i seem to learn something extra that applies to my life.

I have just downloaded a audiobook from itunes so i can listen to it in the sunshine. You can find Pema Chodron books/audiobooks on Amazon and itunes. I have put a few of the book links on the right of this post for you to see.

The video will be made into a podcast too for download at a later date. Stay Tuned and don't forget to subscribe to the Relaxation Sanctuary.

Welcome to the Relaxation Sanctuary

At last i have got my act together and put the channel on youtube which i have been planning to do for months.

The Relaxation Sanctuary is aimed to be a place where i can put some (hopefully) relaxing videos to help with all sorts of problems like stress, anxiety and insomnia.

I aim to use the channel as a platform so people can dip into videos whenever they choose and come back repeatedly.

The channel has come about due to all the comments from the relaxation video i put on youtube. I originally put one video up as a comedy and got complaints saying i should do a real relaxation video. I then months later did what the masses wanted and made a real basic relaxation video.

Comments flow in all the time from this video and it has over 9,000 views. I thought it was time to do a whole channel dedicated to relaxing and taking time out.

I don't pretend to be an expert but i know what has worked for other people in the past. This is all new and i am happy to learn along the way.

I hope you will enjoy the channel and it will benefit you in some way. Subscribe today and come back soon.
