Why You Need To 'Play With Clay'
What Can We Do About Being So Busy?
We all need to ground our energies more in this busy and fast life we live in! Is it just me or do you feel like everything and everyone is speeding up at the moment?!
For this reason, it's so important that we find ways to slow down, breathe...let our thoughts drop away and connect with the healing benefits of nature. So many people talk about 'being present' at the moment...but it's tough right? particularly when you have so many things going around in your head and plates to spin! 😕
Why Clay?
This is why clay is so clever! Even if you don't think you are creative, you can benefit from 'Playing with Clay'. This is why children love it so much - it's simple, forgiving, playful and fun. It's like having one of those stress relief balls in your hand and squeezing it, but better!
One of my fondest memories is when my daughter (who was 2 or 3 at the time) was playing with play dough...it was an excuse for me to get stuck in to something fun with her. We connected over the simple task of making shapes with this soft putty type material. She still talks about it now - remembering it even at that young age! This was a special moment in time when we could both be children...

Psychedelic Floor Tiles and Stealth Mind
'Psychedelic Floor Tiles and Stealth Mind' ~ Yes a strange title I know, but sometimes the every day things in our life can trigger reactions in us, ones that when we look closer, open a window of self enquiry and discovery.
This podcast was prompted by a book I was reading the previous night called 'The Courage To Be Disliked' (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Courage-Happy-Hardcover-Disliked-Collection/dp/912385877X/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=the+courage+to+be+disliked&qid=1622122925&sr=8-12)by Ichiro Kishimi and when I woke the following morning it sparked some interesting insights about my life and the environment I live in and around.
Allow me to take you on an insightful meander about how we all can take our surroundings for granted and still be dominated by the 'internal weather' of our minds. Have you got any Psychedelic Floor Tiles that aggravate you? Does your stealth mind creep up on you and take over your thoughts...only to find that you are in a very different place in your mind minutes, hours or days later?
How adaptable are you to your environment? Do you have any coping mechanisms to stay present and grateful? I'd love to hear how you manage your equivalent of 'Psychedelic Floor Tiles and Stealth Mind'.
Best Wishes,
Sonya
