Mindful Health Club

One of the all-time memorable interviews of my career was with a wise doctor and mindfulness expert from India. You you may have heard of him – Deepak Chopra! This is a short morning ritual for awakening inspired by his work. Best repeated every day, these questions can be asked within a meditation, allowing a pause for each answer to be revealed, or during a journalling session. I like to meditate over my questions while walking. The idea is that the questions unlock answers buried in your subconscious and, over time, lead to a state of awakening. It’s a glorious thing to do of a morning while your mind is quiet and the day hasn’t interfered with your mental state.

Ask yourself: Who am I? Allow your thoughts or written words to flow and don’t censor them or try to give a right answer – there isn’t one. Allow whatever comes up to come up.

Next ask: What do I want? Again, let your thoughts or words flow before moving onto the following questions…

Ask: When will I be content? What is my purpose? What am I grateful for? Allow yourself to explore each answer fully and honestly every day, and feel and see the magic unfold.
