A Change of Scene…

A Change of Scene…

How often do you get away for the weekend? It was something I used to enjoy very much, whether it was a short, uplifting visit to the ski slopes or a chance to jog in the sunshine and breathe in the fresh sea air, the change of scene was a fabulous way to recharge my batteries and boost creativity. In today’s super-busy world, it isn’t always easy to get away, even though I still recommend it as an effective counter-measure to the stresses and challenges that so many people deal with every day. So, what can we do to maintain our health, our wellbeing and our sanity?

It might not be possible to escape for the weekend but most of us can get of the house and take a walk. I know. It doesn’t sound very exciting. But the benefits of an hour or two of gentle exercise combined with a change in scenery can work wonders for our wellbeing. We all benefit from the kind of sensory stimulation that we experience during a walk in the countryside. It awakens primeval senses that help us to become more aware of our environment. It’s the perfect antidote to our myopic focus on social media. But, if it isn’t possible to step outside of your home and enjoy a walk in the fresh air, there’s a vast alternative world that’s waiting for you to explore and that’s the realm of your own mind.

Meditation offers far more than a means to calm the thoughts and still the emotional flux that robs us of our peace and soaks up too much of our precious creative energy. Meditation offers the keys to an inner dimension that bears little resemblance to the mundane world of our daily round of worries, cares, responsibilities and anxieties. The vast domain of our deeper minds offers a rich landscape of peace and calm and creativity where our undeveloped potential can blossom and flourish. This is where we can experience insights and a profound sense of joy that sustains our health and wellbeing whilst providing a panoramic vista of our lives and the world around us. This is a change of scene that can change your entire perspective of everything you thought you knew. This is a pathway that leads to deeper understanding and a completely natural way for you to amplify your happiness, health and wellbeing. Begin your journey today and discover the rich rewards that await you.
