There is something truly magical about a Spring evening… the air feels lighter, and for a moment, the world seems to pause.

Take a breath. Notice the song of the evening birds, the warmth lingering in the sky. These little gifts gently remind us to slow down, reset, and simply be.

Here’s to more peaceful Spring evenings and moments that nourish the soul.

Welcome to another Mindfulness Monday - a gentle reminder to pause, reset, and be present.

This week, we’re focusing on something simple but powerful: your breath.

When life feels rushed or your mind is racing, take a moment to ground yourself with this technique:

Box Breathing

- Inhale through your nose for 4 counts
- Hold your breath for 4 counts
- Exhale slowly through your mouth for 4 counts
- Hold again for 4 counts

Repeat this cycle 3 or 4 times.

Mindful breathing can help quiet the noise, reduce stress, and bring clarity to your day.

Take this moment for yourself - just breathe.

Arohanui and blessing.

For this Mindfulness Monday, we're inviting you to explore the simple but powerful practice of the pause...

- Before replying to that email... pause.
- Before jumping into your next meeting... pause.
- Before reacting to something that’s frustrated you... pause.

These brief moments of stillness can be surprisingly impactful. A pause allows your nervous system to settle, your thoughts to realign, and your response to come from clarity rather than habit.

Mindfulness Monday Tip: Try taking three slow, conscious breaths at any transition point in your day - between meetings, before a call, or as you shift tasks. Think of it as a reset button you can press anytime.

Small pause. Big difference.

Arohanui and blessings.

Looking up into the beautiful, clear starry sky on this wonderful Spring evening, this album came to mind – Deep Space by John Stanford. My track for this week is the title track: Deep Space. It’s a little more upbeat than my usual end-of-week pick, but it feels just right tonight. Enjoy...

This week’s pick for track of the week - Thunder On The Savannah - is all rhythm and texture. A track that feels like it was born under vast skies, where storm clouds gather and the earth pulses with ancient energy. From Philip Riley’s album A Pattern of Lands, it’s a sonic landscape that evokes both movement and mystery - elemental, immersive, and deeply atmospheric.

Expect deep percussion, ambient layers, and a sense of movement - both wild and meditative. Perfect for moments when you need to reset, reflect, or just reconnect with something bigger than the everyday.

Arohanui and blessings.

"The mind is everything. What you think, you become."

- Buddha

We carry a thousand thoughts into each new week - some helpful, some heavy. What if, just for today, we chose the ones that serve us best?

Let your mindset be the quiet leader of your Monday.
- A moment of calm can become clarity.
- A single kind thought can soften a whole day.
- A simple intention - “I will meet this day with ease” - can shape how it unfolds.

You don’t need to control everything. Just start by guiding your thoughts.

Arohanui and blessings.

The Leaving of Ireland – Jon Mark and David Anthony Clark.

This week’s track of the week is a quietly beautiful piece. Atmospheric, meditative, and steeped in gentle longing, The Leaving of Ireland captures both the sorrow of farewell and the serenity of wide, open landscapes. Taken from the album of the same name, it’s music for moments of stillness, reflection, and the in-between.

If you need something to carry you gently through the day, this might be it.

Arohanui and blessings.

“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

- Lao Tzu

We often begin the week with our own mental checklist - of things to do, fix, improve, or chase. But mindfulness gently reminds us that contentment isn't found in the next achievement or the perfect conditions. It’s already here, waiting to be noticed.

This week, pause to acknowledge what is - not what's missing. You might find that from this place of enough-ness, clarity and energy naturally follow.

You don’t need to do more to be more. Just be.

Arohanui and blessings.
