“What I love about Emily is she has devised a most beautiful, fun can do meditation, for the busy modern person”

Before The M Word, I had practiced meditation before, over the years, mostly guided ones or chanting.  I am a single Mom, with 2 busy teenagers, I manage my own rental company and a therapy business. I am also studying Rapid Transformational Therapy, as well as helping my mother who has depression/anxiety and Alzheimer. I lead a very busy life, wearing lots of hats.
Although I manage my stress through yoga and dance, at times, with all my responsibilities, I would become overwhelmed, and also very tired, but wired. Feeling like a rushing woman, my family and friends would always be telling me to rest or slow down, but felt like I couldn't, because if I didn't do EVERYTHING, no one would.
Because of this I felt exhausted constantly, my body would be very tense, especially on my back, shoulders, and neck, and my daughter would always say "stop frowning Mom".
Over the last 3 years, I keep getting glandular fever and looked very yellow (even though I was eating healthy). My sleep suffered horrendously, my moods meant I had a short fuse with my children too, which I hated.
Since doing Emily's wonderful course, my biological clock wakes me at 630am every morning and I look forward to my 20 min time out, it energizes me, it grounds me, it calms me, it sets up my day for great start and appreciation for life and my life. I finish feeling grateful, happy and centered and alive. I LOVE IT.
Recently with our beautiful summer mornings, I have started meditating barefoot on my bedroom deck. I love reconnecting with nature, hearing its sounds while doing 'coming to my senses" feeling the grass beneath my feet during 'effortless silence', the sun on my face, the breeze on my cheeks......what a gift!!
My kids have noticed I am not getting angry anymore, I am happier, not picky about how tidy the house is. I am so much more focused on my businesses and effective in my studies. My face looks 10 years younger, and I have a bounce in my step, and I smile a lot more. My friends are noticing too and giving me compliments, which is great.
My immune system has improved immensely, my skin no longer looks yellow, and my energy levels have increased hugely, as well as my sex drive. Even though I still have less than 8 hrs sleep, it feels like a good quality sleep when I wake up, whereas before I was dragging myself out of bed feeling shattered. If I do feel a little shaded I know once I have had my meditation fix, I am charged and centered, and ready to go, feeling so much better.
My M Word meditation has now easily become a daily habit, after brushing my teeth, which makes me the happier more fun loving person I am. It helps me realign my life on a daily basis, and I feel so blessed to have had Emily guide me each fun, informative day, to fully reconnect with my spirituality/self.
I have shared some mornings showing my 14-year-old daughter how to do the 'balancing breath' when she has felt overwhelmed with her studies/work. What I love about Emily is she has devised a most beautiful, fun CAN DO meditation, for the busy modern person.
I highly recommend The M Word to everyone, young and old, male or female, no matter what religion, you do have time to easily bring 15 mins of beautiful bliss and inject new life into your life...JUST DO IT!!
Thanks sooooooooo much Emily, you are a gem xoxox
