This week’s pick for track of the week - Thunder On The Savannah - is all rhythm and texture. A track that feels like it was born under vast skies, where storm clouds gather and the earth pulses with ancient energy.

Expect deep percussion, ambient layers, and a sense of movement - both wild and meditative. Perfect for moments when you need to reset, reflect, or just reconnect with something bigger than the everyday.

Arohanui and blessings.

"The mind is everything. What you think, you become."

- Buddha

We carry a thousand thoughts into each new week - some helpful, some heavy. What if, just for today, we chose the ones that serve us best?

Let your mindset be the quiet leader of your Monday.
- A moment of calm can become clarity.
- A single kind thought can soften a whole day.
- A simple intention - “I will meet this day with ease” - can shape how it unfolds.

You don’t need to control everything. Just start by guiding your thoughts.

Arohanui and blessings.

The Leaving of Ireland – Jon Mark and David Anthony Clark.

This week’s track of the week is a quietly beautiful piece. Atmospheric, meditative, and steeped in gentle longing, The Leaving of Ireland captures both the sorrow of farewell and the serenity of wide, open landscapes. Taken from the album of the same name, it’s music for moments of stillness, reflection, and the in-between.

If you need something to carry you gently through the day, this might be it.

Arohanui and blessings.

“When you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

- Lao Tzu

We often begin the week with our own mental checklist - of things to do, fix, improve, or chase. But mindfulness gently reminds us that contentment isn't found in the next achievement or the perfect conditions. It’s already here, waiting to be noticed.

This week, pause to acknowledge what is - not what's missing. You might find that from this place of enough-ness, clarity and energy naturally follow.

You don’t need to do more to be more. Just be.

Arohanui and blessings.

Welcome to another Mindfulness Monday - your gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and notice the moment you are in.

As Spring quietly approaches, nature begins to stir. Buds form, light stretches longer, and the world slowly wakes. Let that shift inspire your own gentle renewal.

Your moment of mindfulness:

Step outside, if only for a breath. Notice the scent in the air, the colour in the leaves, or the softness of light. Let yourself simply be there, for a moment.

Arohanui and blessings.

This week, we’re delighted to feature Gaelic Heart - from Michael Atkinson’s release of the same name - a piece that carries the warmth, depth, and timeless beauty of Celtic tradition. Its gentle melodies weave together like threads of history, offering calm, reflection, and a connection to something greater.

Take a moment to breathe deeply, and let Gaelic Heart transport you to a place of stillness and peace.

Arohanui and blessings.

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

- Buddha

Welcome to the first of our Mindfulness Mondays series - a gentle nudge to pause, breathe, and be here, now.

Each Monday, we’ll share small reminders, reflections, and practices to help you start the week with clarity and calm. Think of it as a little space in your feed for slowing down in a world that’s always speeding up.

Today’s thought? Wherever you are - take one deep, slow breath. Let the noise fade for just a moment, and notice what’s around you.

Arohanui and blessings.

This one's a bit uptempo for the end of the day, but I listened to it earlier from From a Distant Shore by James Wilkinson.

The track is called "Singing Sands."

Enjoy - and best wishes for the week ahead.
