As part of the launch of this month's new Spotify Mindful Life podcast, I explain in this short piece how and why I started to practice mindfulness. To hear more and to listen to this week's meditations, simply click here.

This month, I am launching the Mindful Life podcast on Spotify. 

As host, I will be sharing practices, hints and tips on how to bring mindfulness into your daily life. As many of you already know, coming to mindfulness out of sheer need, my approach is no-nonsense and refreshingly simple. So tune in, sit back...and breathe.

This week, you can find short meditations and a trailer audio as to how I got involved in the practice. 

Check it out here and let me know what subjects you would like me to cover. 

Enjoy and breathe!

I think it's time for a trip to the Hebrew Book Fair later this year. Looking forward to meeting some mindful readers and spreading the word in Israel. 

Enjoy and breathe!

This week, The Daisy Garland launched its latest charity film "A Journey of Hope" featuring some of the families they support whose children have drug-resistant epilepsy. The film showcases the impact of the ketogenic diet, their Growing Shoots project, mindfulness and their night-time breathing monitor programme. This campaign aims to provide 46 babies and children with night-time monitors. Please watch and share.

Setting up to teach the weekly mindfulness course to The Daisy Garland this evening from my office on Zoom, I am reminded of what a privilege it is to join this community of parents to practise together.

The Body Scan Meditation is a central practice of mindfulness and helps us to connect with our bodies. It is particularly useful when our minds feel scattered. We can use our bodies and sensations that arise as an anchor to our present moment experience which in turn can help to calm the mind.
