I am Katie Page and I am a complementary therapist, specialising in Reflexology.  I help people, especially ladies, achieve a calming balance and peacefulness so that they can focus on achieving their goals. My role in a treatment is to help relieve my clients of the stresses to allow the body and mind to switch off, rejuvenate and be calm.

Relaxation during lockdown

There is no right or wrong way to feel at the moment: this is new territory for us all.  Sometimes, it’s time to ourselves that we do need. I believe we need to relax, breathe and be calm.  Below are a few of my top tips for relaxation during lockdown.

Meditation

I learnt how to relax to do meditation in Thailand last year and I am a convert. Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective.

I use the Calm app to listen to guided Meditations, however, there are numerous other apps and online meditations you can use if you do not have access to “Calm”.

Many people start meditating to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and to cultivate peace of mind. I find that meditating has helped me over the past few weeks.

I have a special photo and quite often look at this whilst doing meditations, visualisations and calming down my mind.

Breathing

Again, breathing is a new skill I’ve recently learnt to be extremely beneficial.  Triangular breathing is amazing.  Try this 5 times: breathe in for the count on 5 through your nose, hold for 3 in your lungs and breathe out through your mouth for 5.

Triangular breathing is a powerful, yet extremely simple.  This breathing exercise may help to clear the mind, relax the body, and improve focus.

Exercise

At the moment we are still able to exercise outside in the UK, the weather is getting brighter and the nights are a little longer.

Why not go for a walk, just 10 minutes on your own, plug into a motivational podcast, listen to a couple of your favourite happy tunes or connect with nature and listen to the bird song.

I mentioned earlier that I went to Thailand recently.  When I came back, I realised that a number of the skills I had learnt I could not easily do or share with my clients so soon I will be launching “Sole to Soul Sanctuary”.   Sole To Soul Sanctuary helps exhausted and busy ladies feel energised and nurtured.  Giving them a space to focus on their own selfcare and self love. We can achieve this by mixing together visualisations; meditations; relaxation and breathing techniques and positive thinking.
