Meditation 101

Meditation 101
Meditation 101 Yep, most people say that it’s a great idea, but they just can’t do it.  It’s almost like the calm people that seem able to mediate are the very people that don’t need to! Is it chicken or egg though?  Who knows, who cares? The point is that meditation comes in lots of different ‘flavours’ and it has documented emotional and physical health benefits.  It’s quite the fasion at the moment. Orange isn’t the new black, it’s meditation. So, there’s lots of different ways we can meditate, but a big misconception is that it’s all about 'emptying the mind'. Temping, but impractical. I am going to talk a bit about mindfulness meditation, which has become popular because its achievable, practical, portable (!) - and...

When you have lost someone you love at Christmas

When you have lost someone you love at Christmas   Christmas is a time of the year when we think about who we want to spend time with, what we enjoy, who we love and care about and how we show them. Of course, there’s the presents and the tinsel and the food (and the arguments!) but the season is, at the heart of it all, about love. So, it is not easy if someone you love isn’t here anymore. It might be the first Christmas without them, or many (many) years on. Perhaps the pain and hurt of that loss is intense and present every minute of every day, or perhaps it’s softened with time; but it’s still there and it’s worth acknowledging it...

Coping with Christmas and coping with cancer

coping with christmas and coping with cancer
Coping with Christmas and coping with cancer Seeing the first decorations and marshmallow Santas in the shops reminds us that Christmas, and all it brings, is approaching.  It is called the “silly season” for good reason as a time of giving, joy, thanks, relaxation and indulgence! Getting to this point has its challenges, however. Let’s think; there’s the family politics to entangle (whose turn is it to host, who refuses to be in the same room as whom), presents to buy (battling for a car park, finding something for the “woman who has everything” and then finding a way to pay for it all), the food to organise and eat (discussions about turkey vs ham vs seafood, or all three somehow elaborately rolled together a...

Being a dad and coping with cancer

I Love You Dad and heres why2
Being a dad and coping with cancer. Father’s Day is a perfect opportunity to think about the special men and boys in our lives. When we look at the greeting cards, they often present one big bunch of cliché’s. There's dad mowing the lawn, dad drinking beer, watching sport, playing golf or fixing something (the cycling/lycra thing doesn’t seem to have made it onto a greeting card yet, oh, yeah…right…now I get it…!). Although it’s such a stereotype, dads seem to be defined by “doing stuff”.  Consequently, lots of the men I talk to find this a pretty hard part of having cancer treatment or recovering from it. Not being able to do things like they used to do is a big source of frustration.  As a...

Coping with menopause

coping with menopause
Coping with menopause Changes in hormones, and becoming menopausal, can happen gradually or way, way more quickly than you were anticipating (thanks, breast cancer hormone treatments)!

J&J xx  Hot flushes They will come and go, sometimes many in a day and sometimes few.
