A moment to pause before 2021

by Nicky | Dec 28, 2020 | Health and Lifestyle, Nicky For Life

You’d be forgiven for wanting to eagerly move from 2020 to 2021. This year has been hard. We have been in something collective, across the whole world. But it’s been different for each and every one of us. As I spoke to my Dad who has struggled being on his own. To...

To you this Christmas

by Nicky | Dec 21, 2020 | Health and Lifestyle, Nicky For Life

I knew that I wanted to write to you all but I wasn’t sure if I had the words.  The words to express what we’ve been through this year.  The words to provide comfort as we go into Christmas.  A Christmas that highlights the experience of the year, further heartbreak,...

Maturing

by Nicky | Nov 13, 2020 | Health and Lifestyle, Nicky For Life

I’ve been reflecting on growing old this week.  I took a photo and noticed the lines around my eyes in a way I haven’t before.  My son even did a portrait of me and drew a line right in the middle of my eyebrows, where I have a very distinct line. At the same time my...

Through November I will be running a number of free sessions to support you.  I want us to come together in community and connection, something that is so important in our lives, and particularly this year. As the nights grow darker and we start to go inward, these...

You’re remarkable

How often do we try to fix ourselves?  Berate ourselves for all the things we are not, for all the things that are still left to do, for all the things we want to achieve?But what if we’re OK exactly as we are, in this moment?  What if we let go of the longing to be...

The conflict of Valentine’s day

by Nicky | Feb 11, 2019 | Health and Lifestyle

It’s supposed to be the day we celebrate love but it brings up so much in so many of us. If you’re on your own it can bring up resentment, fear, longing for something you don’t have. If you’re in a relationship the expectations can be high, and often unmet. There are...

Yesterday I went to see Jack Kornfield in London, Jack trained as a Buddhist Monk in Thailand, India and Burma and now teaches Buddhist psychology and meditation all over the world. Yesterday he ended with this “Everything you need is within you.” So often...
