When you sit and breathe mindfully you notice not

When you sit and breathe mindfully you notice not only the deep sea of peace that runs beneath the current of every day life, but also, all of the emotions that may have been ignored or pushed down while you were busy getting on with things.

You notice not just your joy and your wonderful incredible cosmic connection to all things - but your sorrow, your irritability and restlessness. You can also find neutral feelings.

With a little bit of care and attention you can witness and hold challenging emotions with love and respect. Without getting drawn into them through analysis. You can even transform the neutral emotions into feelings of joy and pleasantness.

When you close your eyes and find things to be quite neautral and notice that nothing much seems to be occurring, be glad and be grateful. Sometimes no news is good news 😀 considered like this we can teach ourselves to find greater happiness in subtle moments as well as grand ones.

For more mindfulness and wellbeing thoughts and ideas you might like to sign up to my free fortnightly newsletter, the link for it is in my bio now ( @emmamillslondon )

👫 Pleasing The Soul Well: These few lines from

👫 Pleasing The Soul Well:
These few lines from Walt Whitman reminded me of how wonderful it felt back in June when I finally met up in person with my family again, and was able to hug my grandma.

(Having had time apart because of the state restrictions.)

Being together in real life really does please the soul well.

We’re meeting online once a week ( tomorrow, Wednesday morning is the next class) for group mindfulness practice. You’re most welcome to try it out and join in.

It’s not quite the same as meeting in person but it’s so lovely to have been seeing some familiar faces each week since March. Meditation becomes a little easier when you feel you are connected to a group of others all doing the same, with similar intentions and interests. Even if you don’t know them or never really speak to them.

If groups mostly aren’t for you there is the option of online video courses you take in tour own time and 121 appointments. Find more info for all of these learning options at the link in my bio ( @emmamillslondon ) ...

Now for some fabulous Walt Whitman:

“I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then?
I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.
There is something in staying close to men and women
And looking on them,
And in the contact and odour of them, that pleases the soul well.
All things please the soul, but these please the soul well.“

⚡️ What books are you recommending to your fri

⚡️ What books are you recommending to your friends? I’m gathering together my next book review page for Emma Mills London ( the first one went up earlier this year, and was 100% poetry based) and the focus now is on books that inspire hope, lift the spirits and improve your emotional, spiritual, psychological wellbeing in a lovely way.

I always say that there is a key for every box. And the right book at the right time for the right person = pure magic. But what speaks to one may not speak to another and that’s why it’s helpful to read around a little.

I’m going to share a list of great books that come recommend and a little synopsis of basically what the book is about and the kind of vibe it offers. Can you help? I would love to hear from you. It might be a typical self help book, or a book of poems or even a fictional story book ( Jonathan Livingston Seagull for example) that had a profound effect on your thinking and approach to life.

Please comment below with the books you think will make a positive different to people. As many as you like 📔📚 ✨🌤💞

There is such a lot going on in the world. So many

There is such a lot going on in the world. So many different currents. It’s a heavy and captivating situation that sometimes requires action and sometimes doesn’t. In and amongst it, I think it’s important to keep in close contact with the inner world through meditation and quiet listening.
To cultivate awareness. To touch base with whatever it is within us that stays the same over time.
Whatever it is within us that we share in common.

Wishing you a lovely Sunday. 💚

Grounded, safe, settled, nourished, healthy, suppl

Grounded, safe, settled, nourished, healthy, supple, sensual, creative, bountiful, playful, strong, resilient, instinctual, loving, kind, relaxed, forgiving, gentle, generous, expressive, authentic, radiant, clear, focused, intuitive, intelligent, imaginative, connected and whole. Just some of the words that describe the wonders within you.

How connected you feel with each of them changes with the ebb and flow of life and that’s why I created The 7 Wonders ✨

The 7 Wonders Of The Inner World is my latest online video learning programme. It’s 100% self study so you take it online at home in your own time. Perfect if you can’t make the live online class I teach on Wednesday mornings, or if you love the Wednesday classes and want to dive much deeper into this fascinating body of work and apply it to your life and self enquiry. It’s available in a few ways:

1. A 7 part online video programme with over 8 hours of video lectures and classes, pdf worksheets and guided meditations.

2. A 7 part audio meditation set without the video course.

More information about this new course and how to take it, as well as insight for anyone wishing to combine the programme with 121 tuition with me, is up at the online shop so do head over there for the full course curriculum.

Wonderful 🌼

In 1910 the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud

In 1910 the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud said ‘Everywhere I go, I find a poet has been there before me’ - I’d have to agree.

Although I’ve heard it referred to as the croquet of the arts, I truly believe the enjoyment of poetry can be for everyone. It just takes being introduced to it in a way that helps you take poetry into your heart, making it a lovely, fun, beautiful, enjoyable and festive part of life.

As well as being enjoyable, reading poetry is really good for your wellbeing.

I have been coupling poetry with my work in mindfulness since setting up a new poetry therapy scheme for @mindcharity in 2009 and since then I’ve read poems with thousands of people.

This year I was invited to teach my work combining meditation with poetry in a new module on the psychology degree syllabus at @uniwestminster 🍏 Bringing mindfulness, poetry and psychology together for such a keen and wonderful next gen audience is just super!👌🏼

A good poem never gets old and is able to bring beauty to its readers again and again over the centuries. If I were stranded on a desert island, the book I’d choose would be a poetry anthology, because it’s impossible to finish a good poem 🏝

Tomorrow is national poetry day so this post is me getting in early. I couldn’t possibly pick a favourite, but this one is one of my top 20. What are some of your faves? Do leave a comment and let me know.

The View from the Window, by R. S. Thomas.

Like a painting it is set before one,
But less brittle, ageless; these colours
Are renewed daily with variations
Of light and distance that no painter
Achieves or suggests. Then there is movement,
Change, as slowly the cloud bruises
Are healed by sunlight, or snow caps
A black mood; but gold at evening
To cheer the heart. All through history
The great brush has not rested,
Nor the paint dried; yet what eye,
Looking coolly, or, as we now,
through the tears' lenses, ever saw
This work and it was not finished?

New: 🎪 Make Your Own Adventure, Make A Situatio

New: 🎪 Make Your Own Adventure, Make A Situation!

I recently read The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord (1967 France). For the most part the book is a critique of post war consumerism, but it’s also an invitation to notice and explore the image mediated ‘spectacle’ presented by media, social media and ourselves.

Guy was part of a group called the Situationist International and one of the things the group did was to create ‘situations’ or little moments of reality, where people could be happy and content. One such situation was called a derive, which, put simply, means having a random walk around the city in order to meet new people, see unexpected places and have new (real) experiences.

I have been doing these little Derives ( I call them open walks) for years and find them most beneficial and fun!

Do you derive? 🎠 What are your tips and experiences?

You can discover more on this and read my guide to mindful walking at the latest blog post up now at Emma Mills London ‘Wandering: Make Your Own Adventure, Make A Situation!’
