May News & Inspiration
Hi everyone,
News and inspiration from Place of Serenity for May:
With attention to detail, the simple can become a celebration, and the moment can change from mundane to extraordinary. In celebrating the moment, we demonstrate acknowledgement that there are no unimportant moments.
– Almine
I hope you are having many extraordinary moments! I invite you to spend some browsing our news inspiration for May.
No matter who and where you are, your choices make an impact. You are welcome to join me on some Weekly Meditations – a statement of your intent that you believe being a more mindful person is important. The qualities we nourish with mindfulness are what create the kind of humans we wish to be. And supporting one-another strengthens and inspires us. Details below, along with our next 6-Week Course (places still available, really looking forward to working in this venue), and a selection of the latest blog posts, from The Mindful Mouse to A Meditation for Strength & Love.
Keep in touch!
Best wishes,
Yvette

Perhaps now is the time for you to commit some hours to yourself – for your health and wellbeing; physical, mental and emotional. Full details here and Testimonials about past courses. This could be the antidote you need while the world is increasingly driving you bonkers!
Weekly Meditation 
In meditation we practice showing up and staying put, even

I have reduced and amended the costs to make it as accessible as possible: choose 4 sessions out of 8 available dates through May, June & early July. Choose 4 dates to create a block that suits you and works out at £8.50 a time. Single sessions are £10. I’d love to see you as we create the world we want by stepping up for ourselves and each-other. Full details here.
Why meditate? Good question!
You are a human being not a human ‘doing’. Let meditation allow you the stillness and calm to simply ‘be’. Read on …
It doesn’t matter who you’re saying it to!
If the only prayer you say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough – Meister Eckhart

The Mindful Mouse
My 3 encounters with the unassuming wood-mouse and how I discovered what makes the mouse a monk. Read on!
Strength and Honour (oops sorry, that’s from ‘Gladiator’)
Love and Strength
You can summon great strength when you connect to your power, associated with your Solar Plexus. Combine this with the tenderness and warmth of love via your Heart, and you have a powerful combination for a meditation.
