Spring slowly beckons us out of the cold with the promise of summer dresses & long warm evenings SPRING. Welcome to September! The start of spring. It’s a delicious feeling just writing that. September is such a beautiful month. I’ve always seen it as a month of beginnings, the start of a new cycle. Spring slowly beckons us out of the cold with the promise of summer dresses and long warm evenings. We shrug off the shroud of winter and emerge into the sunshine, stretching luxuriously as the sun kisses our skin with warmth once again. It’s such a lovely feeling, that first day of wearing short sleeves and feeling the warm air brushing against your skin, welcoming and friendly. Spring offers us a time of renewed activity. The awakening of our bodies as they shake off the sluggishness of winter. It’s a time of moving back into our bodies. In winter we nurtured them (possibly a little too much hot chocolate and red wine around the fire?!). In this edition we look at just what it means to be active in a mindful, nurturing way, discovering how our bodies can benefit from the gentle arts of Tai Chi and Yoga. You will be reading some wonderful articles about brain health and learning some practical ways for keeping hay fever at bay. I hope you enjoy this September edition of Living Life Well and remember, if you have anything to share, please don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected], I would love to hear from you. Warmest love, Delyse Now it’s time to get the heart pumping once more, get active, get involved. I know this ‘should’ be a consideration year round but lets face it, somehow it’s just easier without the cold wind blowing and the warm bed beckoning! 2 3
