Ready for a little bit of fun and feel good (that actually also has some cool science to back it up)?

This came up in my feed from and then every other post became versions of of this little song. And now I can’t stop singing it!

Tapping and vibration is used in lots of different ways to support regulation of the nervous system, to shift patterns of thinking and even entrain the cells of your body.

Vibration is the foundation of all that we are: ultimately we’re just a bunch of vibrating cells! And the ultimate healing vibration? Your own voice!!

Give it a go and let me know what you think! And check out the original as it’s probably (certainly 😂) more tuneful than mine…I loved having the birds as my backing singers this morning 💛

As the cool beads glide one by one through my fingertips with each round of the mantra, my mind settles. The chatter begins to settle and it feels like stepping into a current that gently carries me along.

At I was reminded how much I love this practice. A workshop I attended at the festival by Sona Parmar (www.thesonamethod.com) offered a beautiful invitation to absorb without needing to analyse. It really struck a chord for me: she said (but more eloquently than I can remember!) “we don’t watch the sunrise and contemplate how it’s not really the sun rising, or sit beside a river and contemplate how it’s able to flow. We just feel the beauty of it and it vibrates inside us.” The invitation was to allow the mantra to be experienced the same way. I loved that.

So here I am, day 5 of a 40 day practice of 108 rounds of the Gyatri Mantra.
Sending you love and peace for the weekend 💛💛💛



(Fun fact: authentic Mala beads have 108 beads so that you can count as you chant!)

Man, I had no idea how much I needed this.

Today I came home from the World Yoga festival and I don’t know if I can fully convey just how amazing I feel.

There’s no one thing either. It’s like tiny moments all accumulated to just transform me from the inside out. In many ways it’s the same process as the way we accumulate stress in our modern world; often it isn’t one big moment. It’s a chronic accumulation.

I know it’s a long way off, but honestly? I just don’t think you can find a better way to come home to yourself. I feel so grateful for all the amazing people I met and the teachers, speakers, stallholders and all the team who made it happen. Wow. Really just wow!

Thank you to you all!

A few in no particular order that you definitely need to look up (there are MANY more but these are a few standouts!):

(always so much wisdom, grace and incredible presence)
(and friends! The most joyful and uplifting experience. Do NOT miss it if you go next year!)
(an incredible spine healing workshop session with energy centre balancing)life (an incredible system for moving energy and empowering you to understand your own body with tools to shift blocks and heal)
(such a fun and powerful session for inner awakening using sound and pranayama)
(ancient wisdom combined with modern pragmatism and incredible insight)
(the most joyful clothes and team)
Sona Parmar (incredible chanting and wisdom)
Allie Tan (Celtic yoga - was so good!)

Sometimes I’m so convinced that I know what’s right for me. What I’ll like, what will be a good experience. And then I can be so completely wrong!

It makes me chuckle at myself. That endless reminding through experience that the “path” to who I’m meant to be isn’t really in my control. My job is to follow the breadcrumbs, have the experiences and then hold it all lightly

This week I had the experience both ways: convinced something is going to be great…that really wasn’t (for me!). And then something I always dismissed that now feels so natural and true.

Ah these crazy twists and turns. And of course the unforeseen route change to create a tech platform…but that’s another tale! (But do go and check out .journey.app)

Massive shout out of thanks to the best mentor and teacher I could imagine having for my sound adventures, Alison Palmer

What a ride this life is

After a full day of watching the tennis at Wimbledon yesterday, this is what some of my morning practice needed to be today. (Can’t even imagine how Djokovic’s body is doing this morning!).

Shaking, swaying, stomping, circling. Non linear movement is deeply nourishing for the body. If you feel stiff and locked up, sometimes stretching isn’t what you need. Get some tunes on and just let your body move.

No script, no programme, no plan.

This is what somatic yoga is: responding to your body and listening to what it’s asking for, rather the imposing what your mind says or what the “experts” say you “should” do.

The best bit is that moving this way for 10 minutes feels more freeing for my body than an hours class.

How does your body feel today and what would it take to shift your energy?

Have a great day and stay cool if you’re here in the Uk!

Kundalini yoga can seem very different to other styles of yoga. And it is. But at its core it’s simple: when you unblock the flow of your energy, it makes space for more awareness and more choice.

So I can’t wait to host a 2 hour workshop at .winchester on Sunday 9 August 3-5pm to share this beautiful practice. You’ll get to experience it and also understand how and why it works.

This is for you if you want to feel energised, calm and balanced in your life…not just on your yoga mat.

I can’t wait to see you there

Laura 💛

Hot weather rambles because life is always bringing you lessons…often the same ones!

I’m wondering how many more times I need to notice and realise that the more I let go of trying to control, the more I flow, then the more things work out for me.

This time my classroom was the padel court but honestly? I’ve bumped up against this part of myself so many times. I grip too tightly, I try to do things “right” and somewhere along the way I lose the flow of it all.

You don’t make the river flow, you just remove the blocks to it flowing. Lesson 1,000,000….

Happy cooler evening to all…feels like there’s more of a breeze tonight! (I slept in the kitchen last night as we got back from holiday and the house was sooo hot!)

Something is coming that I’m so excited about. This is for the therapists and coaches out there. …

You know that your work is deep. But sometimes that brilliance gets lost in the messiness of trying to handle the whole journey: the bookings, the reminders, the payments..let alone how you capture and extend the magic that happens in the room with you.

That’s going to change.

Nothing like this exists: trust me, I’ve searched and searched. So that’s why we created it. Everything you need in one place, one journey.
journey.app is almost here. We’re launching to our first round of beta testers on 1 July. This is your chance to have two months to try it and fall in love (I hope!). If you DO love it, you’ll have the chance to keep it!

Check us out at www.bejourney.app and get your name on the list.

This will change everything about how you manage your work and give you back your freedom to be the genius that you are, which for most of us is NOT in the admin.

DM me any questions!

When you shake up a snow globe, it’s a beautiful thing when you look at it from the outside. There’s a kind of beauty and order in the shaken up snow as it moves and lands somewhere new.

But inside the snow globe it doesn’t feel that way. It just feels like a flurry of snow is stopping you from seeing clearly.

Today I’m feeling like I’m a little bit lost in the flurry. I’m tired and a little snow blind. I’m also so so tired.

The last week has been a lot with my IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy training, client work, running a Kundalini yoga session, a retreat day, Andy having a fall and dislocating his shoulder…life has felt like a lot and there hasn’t been much space to integrate anything.

So today I’m allowing it all to be imperfect and taking time to try and establish my awareness of the snow globe rather than the snow. Noticing what’s happening for me without being lost in it.

How’s your week? Are you inside the snow globe or holding it in your hand?

Sending you love for wherever you are
(Shout out to .winchester and for always offering such a welcoming space to find that peace)

P.s - it does feel funny to talk about snow when the sun is back to blazing!

Have you heard of IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy? I’ve just completed my level 1 training and wow, my mind is blown.
But the biggest thing that I love is that it’s a different route to the same place: releasing and healing the blocks to being who you already are.

I’ve learnt so much about my own system and it’s probably one of the most powerful and impactful trainings I’ve ever done.

And yet it’s also so familiar: when I reach my ‘Self’, it turns out I’ve been waiting here all along! Nothing broken. Nothing to fix. Just wholeness.

Have you experienced IFS?
And more importantly, do you have a dog that tries to pretend they haven’t eaten even though you literally fed them yourself 10 minutes earlier??
