How Vedic Meditation Changed My Life

Naturally Healthy

Have you ever tried meditation? 🧘🏼 ⠀
⠀
Studies have shown that it can help you reduce stress, anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, promote a more restive sleep, and be beneficial to your overall health. 🤸 ⠀
⠀
You can meditate anywhere in your home, but today I’d love to invite you to bring your meditation practice into the open air. ⛅️ ⠀
Soak up the sounds of chirping birds, nature‘s noises and gentle breezes. 🐦 ⠀
⠀
Whether you have a garden, patio, or balcony, why not set up a little space to practice? 🕯 ⠀
⠀
I’ve been doing Vedic meditation everyday for the past 12 months and have noticed a big difference.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
