Today is Cat's birthday, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge this incredible woman. I truly would not be here without her. She is a soul mate in the truest sense. Before we met, we lived like ships in the night. Her name floating through circles of aviation and hospitality, but when she landed in my life… there was no turning back. Some of you may already know this story… but Cat and I officially became friends when I was diagnosed with cancer. She brought food to the hospital and my house. She started a meal train and messaged me every day while I was in treatment. In the middle of a health crisis, I didn’t imagine I’d be making new friends, but this acquaintance became my lifeline. Cat is nurturing. Endlessly loving. A natural at creating community and connection. I love her ability to whip up anything in the kitchen, and to this day, she still cooks for me... no matter where we are in life or in the world. In Yoga Nidra, Annamaya Kosha translates as the food body (the physical body), the part of us that needs nourishment and care. And that’s what Cat offers in every moment: Nourishment. Not just through meals, but through presence, humour, love, and the sacred art of showing up. Happy Birthday, my Cat. You are a gift. You always have been. I will be with her soon and have travelled over mountains to see her... My turn to prepare a meal for you. In full transparency, I'll be taking you for dinner @Cat Jones we both know that's for the best. 😂

Welcome to day two everyone! It feels so great to be doing this as a community again! 💖 Here are today's thoughts: When thinking of the mental body (manomaya kosha).. it can feel like some days, the mind is a crowded airport. Announcements, arrivals, missed connections. It helps me to think of 'mental stillness', not as the absence of thought but the space underneath it all. Like putting on the noise cancelling headphones in the middle of the busy terminal. Instant peace and quiet. ✨ Today’s inquiry is: - What’s the loudest thought in your mind today? - What might it be protecting you from feeling? 🌀 Share your experience below.. what did you meet in the stillness during the practice today?

Please join me in giving a heartfelt welcome to Sam, who will be supporting Cat and me behind the scenes as we continue to nurture this beautiful community! A little bit about Sam: 🚗 He’s a huge car enthusiast. 🏸 He’s competed at the state level in badminton (so yes, he’s got a competitive streak... and a compassionate heart!) 🧘‍♂️ Meditation has been woven into his life since before he was even born — his mom meditated daily throughout her pregnancy, nurturing the calm energy he naturally carries. After connecting with Sam, I can truly say his energy is welcoming, steady, and filled with genuine kindness. He embodies the spirit of Nova Nidra: peaceful, grounded, and open-hearted. ✨ Let’s make Sam feel at home! ✨ Drop a comment below and share one of your favourite passions or hobbies — maybe you’ll discover something you have in common with him!

I am reaching out to share that my cat Biggie Boi has fallen ill. He has been in and out of the vet all week. Biggie has been my companion through some profound transitions in my life, and the thought of losing him weighs on me heavily. If you have space in your prayers, please hold my sweet Biggie Boi, in your thoughts for strength and peace during this time. I am forever grateful.
