Soul-Sized Living Magazine – October 2013 – Life Lessons From Autumn Leaves, Happiness Experimenters & Last Call For Gratitude!
Welcome to the October issue of Soul-Sized Living magazine.
I hope you are enjoying our beautiful autumn (or spring, if you’re Southern Hemisphere!). The falling of the leaves and shift of the seasons is a great time to pause and take stock of how things have been going, as well as to review where we want our journey to next take us. After all of the busy-ness of the summer, it can feel nourishing to look inside and take gentle actions to make changes.
So this month we’re talking about life lessons from autumn leaves – and how they can help us to better handle change, happiness secrets our kids would love us to know, Soul-Sized Living podcasts – with a great competition worth over £500, the Miracle Of Gratitude Inner Circle and an exciting book project I’d love you to join in with – if that’s what’s calling you!
I hope you really enjoy this month’s magazine. As always, it would be great to hear from you, via the comments box for any of the article links in this edition!
Namaste,

Happiness Experimenters
Are you a Happiness Experimenter?
Is it time to connect with your tribe?
Are you hungry to take your life to the next level? Want some moral support? And plenty of inspirational ‘how to’ resources?
Then come and join us!
The Happiness Experimenters is more than a tribe – it’s also a Mastermind Group. And we’re waiting, with open arms, to welcome you and have you join us for this exciting life-changing journey.
Happiness – and living the life you came here to live – is a journey; a crazily wonderful maddeningly chaotic experiment, figuring out what works for you and changing your world. And I want to share a life-time’s worth of short cuts with you!
What’s it all about?
We are a group of dedicated (well kinda!) Happiness Experimenters, who are on a mission to make a difference in the world.
It’s all about figuring out how to feel happier, no matter what is going on around you or how busy your life is.
The Happiness Experimenters Mastermind Group brings you the ‘how to’ of feeling happier, in bite-sized chunks, as well as the supportive community you need, to make changing your life easier and more fun.
Why did I create ‘Happiness Experimenters’
For a long time, now, I have felt a yearning to share with you the deepest versions of the stuff I create. I have been wanting to let you loose with the exciting techniques, insider secrets and transformational tools that I have been brewing in my heart. But it didn’t feel right to just stick it up on my website – I didn’t want to just ‘throw it out there’ with a ‘good luck!’ and ‘fingers crossed!’.
I know, from experience of over a decade of running life-changing seminars and one-to-one mentoring, that change works best when the journey is shared, rather than when you’re sitting at home on your own.
And I was also getting the message, loud and clear, that many of you are really waking up to your ‘mission’ here on Earth – or at least getting passionate about finding out what it is.
All of this seemed to fit together so beautifully that I realised it was time for me to create a ‘space’ for you to connect with your Tribe – your ‘dream team’ – your ‘cheerleader network’ – so that you can dive in and take things to the next level.
I realised that, at heart, I’m a ‘happiness experimenter’ (that’s what it says on my business cards, after the blurb about my formal qualifications!).
And I know that you probably are, too.
I’m so excited about being able to share this journey with you. I know, in my heart, that the stuff I’ll be teaching is potent, amazing, simple, fun and life-changing. It works! I’m bringing you the techniques I personally use, every day!
All you need to do is to sign up, show up and use it!
Happiness Experimenters is ready and waiting for you, as soon as you are ready to say yes.

How To Tell If Happiness Experimenters Is Not For You
Even if it’s not, you’re still very welcome to make the most of all of the resources on my website – they’ll all help. It’s just that the Happiness Experimenters Mastermind Group works best for people who are ready to dive in and make changes. 🙂

|
Are you secretly enjoying feeling grumpy, tired and fed up and would rather hang on to your old baggage, than let it go and set yourself free to smile and love your life? |
So, now we’ve cleared that up? Are you in?!

Week 10 – Coming Back To Your Senses
Hi %%FIRST_NAME%%,
Welcome to Week Ten!
How did you get on with the ‘mindful eating’ exercise last week? Could you imagine how this could help you, day-to-day?
How about sharing how you got on – any questions, any insights – over at the forum?
Mindful Eating
This week we’re moving on to coming back to your senses. It’s a beautiful way of weaving mindfulness into your life, getting out of your head and into your body through your senses.
Just because you’re breathing, it doesn’t mean you’re alive.
I sometimes put this on the back of my business cards. It can get me into trouble, but it does sum up the problem with ‘mindlessness’.
When we’re in flow, we experience how vibrant life can be. It’s as though our senses are on fire.
Henry Miller, who was a prolific and talented writer and artist, summed up how mindfulness can help us enter that state of aliveness:
“The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.”
That’s exactly what we’re experimenting with, when we practise mindfulness.
Giving your full attention – directing all of your awareness – to any one thing creates a miraculous chain reaction:
- It drags you out of your Monkey Mind (the chattering commentary bit!) and back into the present moment.
- It can help you instantly let go of stresses and worries.
- It helps you to reconnect with the Earth beneath your feet, rather than the illusory version of it in your mind.
- It helps you to reconnect with what’s ‘real’, letting go of what is ‘story’ or drama.
So the effects are so much more than simply being able to see the object or think about the experience.
Coming back to your senses.
- Choose an object – any object – but if you can choose something made by nature, it seems to work even better.
- Take 3 mindful breaths [see technique #1], to bring you back to this moment.
- Now look at this object and set the intention to see it with your heart, rather than your head.
- Notice what you notice. See every contour, the way it reflects the light, the patterns, the textures, the colours.
- If you mind wanders, that’s ok; bring it back to the object.
- If it’s something you can touch, hold it and feel it under your fingertips or in your palm. Allow yourself to be fully absorbed by observing the object.
Any time you need to de-stress, the easiest and quickest way to do it is to come back to your sensory experience.
It brings you back to the here and now and out of your Monkey Mind, back into your physical body. It helps you let go of the stories and opens you up to creative solutions.
How about sharing how you got on with this technique – any questions, any insights – over at the forum?
Coming back to your senses
I hope you have a great week.
Namaste,
