MIND & MOVEMENT MEDITATION FEATURE.


6 | Mindfulness: 5 steps to emotional freedom by Elise Bialylew


Mindfulness is a practice that supports the capacity to stay focussed on what you are doing as you are doing it – a powerful antidote to the distractible nature of the mind and information overload.


28 | Meditation: are you passive or


active? by Adriana James What's the real purpose of meditation?


29 | When is life a living meditation? by Tracey Stranger


Have you ever felt like life is totally unstable and changing, the intensity of physical, emotional and mental stress is at an all-time high, you yearn for inner stillness, peace and calm?


30 | Meditation: The Dark Side by Dr Jeannet Weijers


Warning: meditation in high enough doses has severe side effects and most of them are unpleasant.


54 | Meditation – a lot more


than meets the eye by Elizabeth Denley


Celebrate the inner beauty that awaits you through meditation.


POSITIVE THINKING.


8 | The placebo effect – is it ‘only’ in the mind? by Liisa Halme


Should the placebo effect really be brushed off as being 'only' in the mind?


18 | Manifesting outcomes or


stumbling on happiness? by A.C. Ping


Happiness isn't a rational logical thing, it's a feeling. Manifestation therefore needs to be focussed on the ‘why’ & the feeling or essence that you're looking for.


24 | Four steps to manifestation by Rev Rhonda Murray


Positive thinking is an early step in the manifestation process. Bringing dreams into reality takes something more.


25 | The power of the mind by Allen Aylett


We had a goal and we worked hard to develop a mindset of success. The result was that everyone improved in their performances, established where their weaknesses lay and began to improve on them.
