Mindful practices like yoga help us to connect with ourselves on a deeper level, bringing our attention inwards and focusing on the present moment. Yoga is much more than movement. It helps to regulate the nervous system, in turn, making rest and sleep more accessible for us. Between 7-9 hours’ sleep each night is recommended for an adult. In the UK, we linger below the threshold, sleeping an average of 6hr48 per night. Clearly, there’s room for improvement! Although the descent into sleep is a very gradual process, the average good-sleeper falls asleep in a quarter of an hour.

A good night’s sleep is a wonderful thing. Why? It makes us healthier, happier beings! It is the body’s opportunity to rebalance. When wesleep, our body is able to repair and heals itself:Yesterday, we celebrated the life of my very dear friend, Paula Yeadon-Smith. She was a brilliant, radiant, and bright woman, who touched the life of everyone she met. I feel that the amount of misinformation circulating about the architecture industry is a huge problem and, quite frankly, infuriating. Paula had also very recently written and published a book to help families explain miscarriage to young children. If you or your family has been impacted by miscarriage, this may be a helpful resource: https://lnkd.in/gEnf4wqS #fundraising Start by creating the right conditions for sleep in your bedroom. Declutter your bedroom so that the space feels calm and inviting. Make your bed every morning to start the day afresh and so that it’s ready to envelope you come evening. Ensure your bed is somewhere you can feel comfortable. So, I wanted to share that in her honour, her family is fundraising for Miscarriage Association, a cause that was very dear to her heart, to offer support, education and guidance to the 1 in 4 women affected by miscarriage.

I specialise in Reiki to support women in all chapters of their life.

Many people in my network may know Paula through her work as a talented account lead at many fantastic Manchester agencies over the years, or through her time at Lancaster University. Almost 20% of adults say they turn to alcohol to help them sleep (UK Sleep Census), but this does in fact make our sleep more disturbed. While it might help you to fall asleep it actually worsens the quality of our sleep, hampering the benefits of sleep. It is one of the many reasons we feel rubbish after consuming an excess of alcohol. ukhousing #housing #ukhousingmarket #housingmarket #ukconstruction #ukbuilders #construction #builders #constructionuk #buildersuk #building #ukbuilding #buildinguk #constructionindustry #contractors #supplychain #constructionworkers #constructionworker #constructionwork #buildingmaterials #constructionmaterial #constructionmaterials #energycosts #energyprices #contractors #housebuilding #inflation #prices #labour #buildingcontractors #economy #civilengineering #insolvency #insolvencyandbankruptcy #housebuilding My journey of healing, self-acceptance and self-love began when I moved to Manchester as a young professional a decade ago. At the time I was experiencing heartbreak and severe work-induced anxiety and finding it difficult to cope with the pressures of daily life.

Freedom from others judgement and society’s expectations - connected me with my purpose and enabled me to pursue soul-aligned work through Halo Reiki Healing! Listening to music for sleep is something I do most nights as I climb into bed. I have a curated playlist, SLEEP by Halo Reikifor this purpose. On Spotify you can set a ‘sleep timer’ so that the music automatically stops playing after a set length of time. Alternatively, Insight Timer, the #1 free app for meditation and sleep, has an endless array of beautiful sleep meditations and music to choose from. 2) Reduce your alcohol intake If you are contemplating relocating to the UK or wondering if architecture is the right path for you, please do a lot more research and don't believe everything you read on the internet. 🕵♀️

We might not always tell you what you want to hear, but we’ll always tell you exactly what you need to hear & what you should focus on first before you spend a penny on ads. A Reiki practitioner acts as a channel of universal energy, using light touch and intention to restore balance in an individual’s chakras. Thereby helping to restore vitality. My family, in particular my mum who is a holistic practitioner herself, raised me on spiritual beliefs. This has kept me grounded and instilled a deep trust in the universe from a young age. I also lived in Asia for much of my childhood and so it’s no surprise that this method of energy healing which originates from Japan came very naturally to me. In 2020, amidst the uncertainty of the pandemic and the loss of my corporate job in marketing, I discovered the magic of Reiki - an energy healing modality. This set me on a path of profound soul searching and spiritual awakening.

Meditation and breathwork are other mindful practices which, like yoga, promote inward connection. Meditation trains us to achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm and stable state. Breathwork refers to when we are conscious of our breath and use it to influence our wellbeing. In its simplest form, taking deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth repeatedly. Both help us to enter a state that is more conducive for sleep. The Insight Timer app and the Calm app are some of the best resources I have found for guided meditations which often incorporate breath and are designed for sleep. Conversely, the sharpest annual falls in construction materials prices in the year to July 2023 were in steel-related products such as fabricated structural steel and rebar plus timber-related products such as imported softwood , plywood (-21.3%) and particle board (Chart 4). I advocate doing some restorativeyoga before bedtime. The ideal evening unwind, whether a 5/10 minute stretch or a full hour-long practice. Short on time? Simply lie on the ground with your legs up the wall which is incredibly grounding.Being a Reiki Practitioner, it is my go-to method to aid sleep. Anyone can receive or learn Reiki. You can practise Reiki on yourself and on others. Many people I work with opt for distance Reiki at bedtime for this purpose. Done remotely, they can relax in the comfort of their own bed and drift off uninterrupted. Bliss. There are a wealth of videos online to guide you through a sequence of yoga, from beginner level to advanced. Search for ‘bedtime yoga’ on YouTube and find something to suit you. ‘ Yoga with Adriene’ is a good place to start. After years practicing yoga, I started to do more inner work, exploring and deepening my spirituality, and felt called to explore holistic therapies. Drink less alcohol or, better still, stop entirely and you’ll be amazed at the improvement in your sleep. 3) Try holistic therapies
