Guided sleep relaxation is a natural sleep aid that will help you unwind and simply sleep. Listen to this relaxation script any time you need to drift easily into deep, healthy sleep.

Do you find that your mind is busy, and full of thoughts that keep you from going to sleep? This sleep relaxation script will allow you to put a time limit on the thinking you do before sleeping, and teach you how to quiet your mind and fall asleep.

This week's episode is centred around acceptance & how it allows us to move forward through tough situations & challenges while being mindful & fully present.

Radical acceptance can be defined as the ability to accept situations that are outside of your control without judging them, which in turn reduces the suffering that is caused by them.

Flow is defined as an intense experiential engagement in the present moment, with an activity which can be physical or mental.

Find your flow & unpack what it is that's driving it.

Kisanga is the first guest to appear on KENSHŌ & I couldn't be happier. This episode is all about connection. Connection to our surroundings, our upbringing & to the rest of the world that we find ourselves in. 

In this episode we cover a range of topics from:

• Upbringings
• Consumerism
• How our environment fuels our view on the world
• Adapting to constant change

If you find it interesting, please share with your friends & family & help us connect with each other. 

As always, never forget - KENSHŌ

Make sure you are able to then enable, others. 

Being at peace with yourself or with your surroundings comes down to your understanding & being understood. Finding the value in others & in that what surrounds you & for being true to yourself. 

We call it zen. 

Take a moment to think about the times in your life that you've felt at peace with who you are & being happy to hold yourself in high esteem.

Showing a little gratitude in your day-to-day makes things that much easier. Whether you're stressed or anxious about something or even if you're filled with joy & ambition, gratitude helps take it the next step further. Think about the things you're grateful for & give thanks for it. You'll feel so much better for it.

Often we find ourselves exposed & vulnerable to new surroundings & people. We don’t give ourselves the respect to gain our confidence slowly & thus we are left with this feeling of being unsettled. Focus on the small bits that make you, you. Go back to the things that make you who you are & you’ll notice how those changes lead you to where you want to be.

We see the word Pride as something that can move in 2 different directions. Let's focus more on the positive impact that it has on our self esteem & our self love rather than the negative impacts of it. Revel in your greatness & celebrate the small victories. 

Focusing on the future and what changes we can make in the now to get us there. Yes it's important to reflect however it is damaging to allow the past to control us in fear of not achieving what we are capable of achieving. Here's to 2022 and may you manifest and achieve everything you set out for yourself.

Self love & self care are paramount to our healing & success within ourselves, however we need time to appreciate those around us - The friends that make us who we are. Show your love to them & appreciate their support. Live in the moment with them & you’ll realise your chosen family is just as important as your blood family.

We all see change as this big obstacle preventing us from getting to where we want to be; when actually it's the force pulling us towards it. Focus on the positive impact that change has on us.

Learn to ride life's highs and lows like a wave in the ocean. Let's try not categorize our days into what's good and bad; let's rather feel the emotions, ride them out and carry on with our day. Not every moment is going to be a high and not every moment is going to be a low. Accepting these moments for what they are allow us to maintain our balance.

This became the topic of the day after a culmination of things happening around me. Sometimes life doesn’t go quite as planned but honestly, sometimes you just have to go with it & just let it be. Don’t worry about things not being perfect or 100%. Focus on how it made you feel & what it means to you. Life isn’t attainable if we’re always focused on the future & being free from flaws. Love yourself & be free.

An Ego isn’t always a bad thing; but sometimes we need to be alone from it for a moment or two. We need experiences that humble us & remind us of our innocence & former selves. The world around us can be so distracting & warrants unusual behaviour from us in the best of times. Give yourself a chance to remember your true self & figure out who the “i” in the Universe really is.

As we come to the close of the year it's important to reflect on what we have accomplished. Thinking back over the last 11 months, what have you achieved? Do you recall most of the things that happened this year? Maybe let's make it a little easier, do you remember what you saw when you were driving home? Was there anything worth noting? Th fact of the matter is that we are so overly focused on what's next and the content that's out there that we forget the small details of our own lives nd before you know it your life has got away from you.  Give yourself some attention; most importantly - show up for yourself.

What is an Empath and how do I know if it's me? Empaths are highly emotional people who are able to connect to many different types of people and can do it almost instantly. Empaths know how to read people's emotions and tell when they are being truthful or deceitful. Often Empaths give a lot more of themselves that what they expect back, however sometimes they find themselves feeling depleted and unappreciated because they don't always get get the same treatment back. 

Is Mindfulness what we think it is? Is there a way for us to fully be present in the moment. I believe it’s so important to give yourself a moment & allow your body, mind & spirit to reflect on who you are & what you truly want from your life.

We're left with choices throughout our day. There are those that are miniscule in terms of possible outcomes and there are those that greatly affect the trajectory of our lives. The key is learning to deal with these choices and not let them be defined by fear.  Life comes at you fast and so what I would like you to do, is to take a step back and connect the dots. Reflect on your past choices and understand why they created the life that you currently find yourself in. Love yourself and be grateful for the choices in front of you. 

Finding ways to manage our daily stress will enable us to gain control of our lives and how we view every day. We can't let the things out of our control, effectively damage our way of living. Connect with your soul and your intentions and let go to live. 

Being in the present allows you to be free from thought and free from stress. Focusing on what surrounds you and what is fueling your energy brings you closer to self love and self appreciation.

Life is happening all around us and things come and go on a constant basis. It's important to take a moment to be grateful for what you have in your life and understand why it's so important to you. 

We can't let our fear of making mistakes stop us from progressing in life. We are all prone to them, but it's about accepting them and using them as a tool to grow and to be better versions of ourselves. 

Just like a river has a source, our life has a starting point; a place where we can go when we need to reset and figure out what it is that make us truly who we are. Our source comes from reflection, the inward soul searching that begins with a choice. 

We all seek spiritual guides on our life's journey. We look outward for help and support; but what if we decided to look inward? Take a moment to trust yourself and let your Intuition or "gut feeling" guide you on your own path. 

We all have a source of energy. That energy can be used for ourselves and for others, but we need to ration out how we share that energy or run the risk if it being misused or wrongly interpreted. 

We feel them everyday yet they seem to be a lot more complex than what first meets the eye. Understanding our emotions leads us to a state of peace and harmony within ourselves, edging ever closer to self love and appreciation. 

Forgiveness seems like an easy task on the surface. Something that we can do without giving it much thought. However it’s a lot more than just that. Forgiveness is more about the relationship & love that you have with yourself that with those you are trying to forgive.
