When it comes to designing our dream future, there are a few aspects to be considered...
Firstly, amongst the chaos, how often do we actually create space to think about what we genuinely want for ourselves?
And then when we do, are they our own desires, or someone else's?
Vision boards help you to gain clarity on what you truly want from life
I will teach you to connect back in with your core values, an overview behind manifestation and how our early life experiences may have impacted us now (positively and negatively).

local supermarkets that offer their free magazine
travel agents
keep hold of local magazines/ newspapers/ flyers dropped through the door
photos that you don't mind cutting up
celebratory cards

Please also have access to A3 card (you can buy these from craft stores) ; scissors, glue.

Are you a stressed, exhausted SEN/EBSA parent or carer, running on empty, with no time to shout "HELP!"&nbsp;let alone step off the hamster wheel to rest, recharge and recuperate?Parenting neurodivergent and/or school avoidant young people comes with a unique set of challenges and, if you&#39;re finding yourself lurching from managing meltdowns to fighting for support or feeling isolated and judged because people don&#39;t understand, it can be really hard and I GET IT!After finding myself pretty much burnt out I discovered and implemented quick and simple self-help and relaxation tools that have helped strengthen my coping skills to navigate my family&#39;s journey, rebuild my resilience and rediscover&nbsp;my old self!&nbsp;I was so blown away by how beneficial simple habits can be that it&#39;s my mission to help others do the same - and so I created&nbsp;The SHARE Project.The ethos of THE SHARE Project is that&nbsp;we need to put our own oxygen mask on first&nbsp;so that we can&nbsp;best support our kids&nbsp;and my aim is that the tools you will learn during our time together will become your oxygen mask, not only for use in case of emergency, but as a sustainable part of your ongoing&nbsp;self-care and wellbeing.During each&nbsp;of four, weekly, live&nbsp;online workshops, delivered over Zoom, you will learn and practise a new tool to implement daily over the coming week (just a&nbsp;few minutes at a time, I promise)!Then, during the following week&#39;s workshop we will review your progress, make any tweaks and learn and practise the next tool...&nbsp;There&#39;ll be no suggestions of long and luxurious spa days and fluffy robes because most of us don&#39;t have the time to do that very often and, frankly, the benefits disappear almost as soon as you&#39;ve driven home... My mission&nbsp;is to give you sustainable tools to use anytime and anywhere to help yourself cope better and feel happier, regardless of what&#39;s going on around you!Each group session gives you the opportunity to connect with other SEN parents or carers&nbsp;experiencing similar challenges.What our clients say:"The Share project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges. &nbsp;The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.""I gained different techniques to build resilience and overcome overwhelm."&nbsp; "has helped me have a more positive outlook day to day, relaxation has helped with my sleep" If you have any questions, please ask and I will be happy to help :)Sue&nbsp;

Discover Calm and Happiness with The SHARE Project: Your Path to Resilience! 🌟
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and stretched to your limit?  With meetings and meltdowns to manage, battles for support, the frustration of feeling isolated or misunderstood, not to mention the pressure of juggling your job too, it can It can feel like you’re running on empty; hard to find a moment to step off the hamster wheel and just breathe.
I’ve been there, and I get it!💛
After being on the brink of burnout myself, I stumbled upon simple, yet impactful self-help, self-care and relaxation tools. These quick, effective techniques helped me rebuild my resilience, reclaim my sense of self and navigate challenges with renewed strength and joy.  And that’s how The SHARE Project was born.
What is The SHARE Project?
The SHARE Project is built on a simple principle: you need to put your own oxygen mask on first!  By nurturing yourself, you’re better equipped to support your children. Through our three, weekly, set of live online workshops, delivered via Zoom, you’ll discover practical tools to bring more calm and happiness into your daily life.
Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Workshops:  Each week, we’ll introduce and practice one or two tools designed to fit seamlessly into your life (in just a few minutes at a time, I promise!). These are not your typical “luxury spa day” suggestions — because let’s face it, who has time for that?  Instead, you’ll learn sustainable, go-to strategies that you can use anytime, anywhere, to boost your wellbeing, even in the midst of chaos.  You will also receive a mid-week email of encouragement between workshops and printables to help record and track your progress.
Ongoing Support:  In each session, we’ll review your progress, fine-tune your approach, if needed, and introduce the next tool.  
Community Connection: You’ll be part of a supportive group of fellow SEN parents and carers who understand the unique challenges you face.  
What our clients say:
“The SHARE Project was a gentle, kind experience which showed understanding for parenting with additional challenges.  The refocusing was extremely powerful and I felt nurtured by the sessions.”
“It has helped me to have a more positive outlook day-to-day, and the relaxation has helped with my sleep.”	
“I looked forward to the sessions each week, they gave me time to focus on myself for a change.”
Ready to Feel More Calm and Happy?
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel and start reclaiming your joy, The SHARE Project is here for you. Let’s work together to help you feel more at peace, more resilient, and, most importantly, more you.
Got any questions? Send me a message and I’ll be happy to help! 😊
With love and support,

Reiki Master Practitioner Level 3 Online Course

Sadhguru:Unfortunately in the western part of the world, if you utter the word “Yoga,” people think you must twist yourself out like rubber bands or stand on your head. Yoga is not an exercise form. The word“Yoga” means union. 
Hatha is a Sanskrit word that can be broken down into two smaller words: ha, meaning “sun,” and tha, meaning “moon.” The word may also mean “willful” or “forceful.”
In yoga, Hatha yoga is one of many types of yoga practice. The practice of Hatha yoga focuses on total mastery of the physical body, including all bodily functions. It also emphasizes activating the chakras in order to stimulate kundalini and promote spiritual and physical wellness, including disease elimination.
In my session I offer various kinds of beginner friendly yog asana , pranayam and short meditation during savaasan which build your mindfulness and rejuvenate every cell of your body and mind and our brain which  makes you more energetic.
