Valentine's Day Special - for singles & couples!!

Helping You Harness the Transformational Power of Crisis - Author | Teacher | Speaker
I’ve been single at various times in my life. Maybe you are right now? But my Valentine’s Day Special is for you whether you’re single or in a couple!?
As much as I love my own company and am totally happy doing my own thing, the one BIG disadvantage to being single, certainly from my perspective, is the DIRE shortage of HUGS!
We all know we need human touch to thrive, but did you know we need it even just to survive? Orphaned babies left in cots and not picked up or cuddled die.
Human touch releases the feel good hormone called oxytocin, sometimes dubbed the ‘love’ hormone. The good news is that simply stroking our own arm or gently caressing our own cheek will release it too. Imagine then the power of a full blown hug, a SELFIE HUG?!
This Valentine’s Day, whether you’re single or not, have a go at my mindfulness meditation The Selfie Hug. It’s been hugely popular on Insight Timer so I’m delighted to share it with you today. You can listen HERE.
Self-compassion is such a crucial component of our mindfulness practice. My Selfie Hug will help you get some real time practice.
And while you’re at it why not give other people a few extra hugs today. Spread the love and have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
On the subject of compassion and spreading the love, I’ve been so touched by the plight of those affected by the Turkey/Syria earthquake, that I feel moved to offer a fundraiser event. So far there are over 33,000 dead.
SO...
