Mindful moments in daily life
Not every moment of every day is perfect, peaceful or extraordinary. But we can carve out tiny boxes of time that are quiet, and only ours. Thirty minutes spent mindfully on something simple that we enjoy, be it a book, some music, gentle deep breathing, meditation, the perfect cuppa, or just staring into space is enough to create a positive change in our mental and emotional wellbeing, and the sheer quality of our lives. Try it for just 10 days and see the difference it make

Helping with healthcare in the upper Himalayas
Images of the snow peaked upper Himalayas are magnificent, awe inspiring and incredibly romantic. But the reality of living thousands of feet above sea level is anything but romantic. Temperatures are way below freezing (upto minus thirty degrees), air is thin, with the barest levels of oxygen, water is frozen, food is scant, healthcare is rudimentary and sparse, and every breath is a blessing. The reality is icy and harsh. High altitude pharyngitis/bronchitis, snow blindness

Walking meditation for restless meditators
New meditators often struggle with sitting in one place, and keeping the body and mind still. It truly can be challenging, especially for the restless, which is where Zen Buddhist practice of Kinhin, or 'Walking Meditation' becomes a really effective alternative. It's traditionally practiced between long periods of Zazen, or stationary meditation, as it relieves stiffness, and reenergises the body. However, you don't need to be a Buddhist, or a monk to practice it. Nor do yo

How Tea Can Improve Your Mental Health
Eastern countries devised some beautiful rituals around tea. These were about more than just drinking tea. They were about bonding, mental health and emotional well-being. The Japanese made it an art form…a carefully crafted practice of mindfulness, best summed up in the Zen phrase "ichi-go ichi-e", which means "one time, one meeting". The phrase encapsulates the beauty, uniqueness and impermanence of the present moment. According to researchers at Yale, holding a warm cup of

Different Colors Describe Happiness vs. Depression
This is a way of measuring anxiety and depression which gets away from the use of language. This might actually be a better way of capturing a patient's mood than questions, especially when gauging the moods of children, and other patients who have trouble communicating verbally. Colors are often used as metaphors for moods, but no one had systematically researched color associations. This study found that people with depression or anxiety were more likely to associate their

Shed wilted relationships. Make way for meaningful ones.
Many relationships are transient in our lives. They have a shelf life, there for a certain time, but always with a purpose, even though we may not see it without ample introspection. The purpose could be to bring us momentary joy, shine a light on our emotional chasms, hold a mirror to our hidden selves, highlight our frailties, our strengths. Or hard as it may be, to just teach us a lesson about people, life, instincts, and the myriad complexities of the human heart and mind

Mindfulness is finding beauty in your surroundings
There is so much chatter about mindfulness, but what are the various things that comprise living mindfully everyday? How do you inhabit the moment? One simple way is to just be aware...mindful...of what is around you. We often take our surroundings so much for granted that we can seldom recall details of things that we see on a daily basis. We may take the same route to work, but may not even notice the places we pass, or the permanent fixtures, or people on the way. We may c
