Watch the Sunrise

Anyone a hummer? I know lots of them (including my 9 year old) and I don’t think they realise they’re doing it most of the time…turns out humming is amazing for health and wellbeing 💓✨ This book is a fascinating read and I’m currently 2 weeks into a daily 5 minute humming exercise…Watch this space for a blog post when I’ve finished the book and have practiced all the techniques!

Lovely feedback from my class this morning, thank you Kirsty at KnowU Wellbeing 🙌

I started my working week a little differently today.

This was the view from the upstairs room at Gorleston Pavilion this morning.

I was there for one of Emma's Watch the Sunrise meditation sessions as part of the Pavilion's Wellbeing Hub, and I'm so pleased I went.

I'd tried Emma's downloadable meditations before and found them really helpful, but being there in person was something different altogether. Emma has such a calming presence, and I left feeling more grounded and ready for the week ahead.

It was a fab surprise to see Tina and Maxine from Gorleston Menopause Mayhem & Women's Health there too and a coffee in Tina's garden afterwards was the icing on the cake.

It really reminded me just how lucky we are to have such a fantastic wellbeing community on our doorstep. Between GYUP, the Pavilion, Riverside Pilates and all the different community groups, it reminded me just how many people are quietly working together to make Gorleston and Great Yarmouth healthier, happier places to live.

Whether it's meditation, Pilates, connecting with others, or simply having a conversation about your health, there really is no one-size-fits-all.

At KnowU I often say, it's not about what's wrong with you, it's about what's going on for you. Sometimes that starts with a conversation, sometimes with knowing your numbers, and sometimes it's simply taking an hour out for yourself.

What a fabulous community we have here. Better together.

Your wellbeing starts with knowing you 🌿

A c c e p t a n c e
Acceptance is one of the 7 pillars of mindfulness- the practice of being in the moment, just as it is, observing the reality, the direct experience of now and accepting it.

Being with the ‘what is’ rather than the ‘what if’ sounds simple but is easier said than done! But this acceptance can be cultivated over time and show up in big and small ways in daily life.

This photo shows me squeezed on a paddle board with both my boys, looking content. But 5 minutes before it was taken I’d set an expectation to have some time alone on the water to myself, before the kids took over…they had different ideas! Everyone wanted to be first.

When the reality didn’t match my expectation I felt myself resist it and try to push back (couldn’t I just have 5 minutes to myself?!) then witnessed my reaction and decided to accept the reality. “We can all fit on…just” I said. And we had a great (if somewhat cramped!) time. Different to what I’d planned, but great.

Those tiny moments where we have a choice to accept what is rather than holding onto what we wanted, imagined, planned it to be are game changers - not moments of resignation or giving up but actively deciding to show up in the here and now, just as it is, and making it our own. And what is life if not a multitude of those moments, those decisions we make to either embrace what’s right in front of us or get caught up in what might have been, what could have been different, the eternity of ‘what ifs’…Emma x

✨ Mantra Meditation…a brief introduction ✨ This is probably one of the types of meditation I teach that gets the most positive feedback after the first ever experience of it. Lots of the people who’ve attended my classes have said they’ve tried other types of meditation like breath and visualisation with no feeling of flow or connection, then they try mantra and have a totally different experience… 💛 Emma 💛

“Wherever you are, be there totally.” -Eckhart Tolle ✨Sounds simple, in reality it is a challenging skill to cultivate that takes time, patience, consistency and openness. But it is a complete game changer - for me it is liberating and freeing, like putting down a very heavy backpack I’ve been carrying around for so long. And also, I’ll be honest with you, sometimes, it’s a little bit scary- but then learning something new outside our comfort zone usually is…Emma✨
