“Why should I be weary when every cell in my body is bursting with life.” – Rumi.
At the start of session with a client, I said, "Let's commence?with a short meditation" - and?asked her to bring her attention to?the soles of her?feet. She looked at me inquisitively, and then looked down at her feet, as though checking to ensure?they were actually there!
"You take your body with you everywhere you go" says Jon Kabat-Zinn.
This week, we pay attention to the body. We use?the body scan?practice,?to?connect?us with the?life-force?bursting out of every cell of our?body (Rumi).
What does that give you?
Well, amongst other things, did you know that?as a practice,?focusing?on a part?of your?body, specifically, and intentionally, helps?resolve procrastination, a symptom typical in the workplace when?dealing with tasks?
Scanning the body in a mindful way?rejuvinates the parasympathetic nervous system, and activates the cells?that assists you get out of 'slumber mode'?with a freshness and desire to move toward action, regardless of lingering fear. This is because the body scan links you with your own life-force...
So, in?the body scan meditation today, we pay due regard to the body, it parts, and the feeling and?sensations we feel in those parts. We then?notice the difference - and take action?from there.

Thank you for the humbling feedback...
"Thank you for opening our hearts to mindfulness. You’ve given us tools to navigate stress, to cherish?and to find stillness even in the busiest of days at work. Your session?was a gift that will ripple through our people".
"I found myself being very focused and present during the session, which is a state of mind hard for me to achieve with frequent context switching and competing demands. I'll definitely be adding this to my personal toolbox”.
"The bespoke session Jude-Martin ran for us, offered profound insights into the practice of mindfulness, informed by his years as a practicing Monk, including both a guided meditation and Q&A. There were lots of helpful takeaways and I'd highly recommend Jude-Martin for groups looking for something much more than run of the mill."
