Stressed? Watch swallows at Orakei basin
Hi Neighbours, here is something soothing for you: at the end of the summer, I saw swallows on the hill above Orakei basin skimming around after a rain shower. It was a joyful, calming moment. It's hard to explain what mindfulness is, but I feel that this clip expresses it: a moment free of the worries of the lockdown, the threat of Covid, and the list of jobs to be done! Click the link below to see the video on youtube, and visit my website to find out more about how mindfulness is a proven way to reduce stress levels. I have a course starting in 10 days, maybe a new path forward? Hardship options available – Eve Rudkin
