Relax and unwind with a holiday....what a meditation holiday?

1. Travel to our favourite destinations – Holidays are all about new destinations, experiencing some of your favourite things and discovering your curiosity for new adventures, sights and sounds. BalanceTime ‘Holidays’ help you to use your imagination to travel to favourite holiday destinations and happy holiday memories and bring back that feeling of happiness and relaxation without leaving the room.

2: Breathing space
Holidays are about taking some time out away from the daily routine and giving yourself some breathing space from anxieties and pressures. Regularly taking an hour out from your busy schedule and enjoy some quality 'me-time' can give you a boost and breath of fresh air away from it all - without travelling very far at all. Exploring breathing exercises to helps you to re-focus and refresh with just a few minutes to spare - is a great way of finding breathing space and micro moments every day - not just when you are on annual leave.

3:Food tastes better on holiday

Sometimes we travel for the cuisine. Often we just feel that food tastes better on holiday. Is the sunshine? The company? The location? These can all have an impact but a bigger impact than you may realise is your mindset towards food. Too often in our daily life we eat mindlessly - not stopping between tasks or even to look away from our computer screen. Do we even notice what we are putting in our mouths? A meditation holiday helps you explore how mindfully eating and choosing something to eat can bring back feelings of joy and 'take you to a holiday moment' with one small taste .

4: Smile inside and out
We go on holiday to unwind and do things that make us really happy. Can you find more things to make you happy everyday - not just two weeks of the year. Sometimes it is just about shifting your mindset to what you have to do each day. Sometimes it is about finding happy triggers to help bring you back to moments of joy when life makes you feel blue. With a mix of props to set the scene for the holiday destination, our meditation holiday workshops help you to smile inside and out as you notice playful memory triggers of happy holiday times.

5. Relax, de-stress and refresh
The secret to success of most holidays is the search for relaxation and stress busting environments. How you can you bring that back into your life when you are home? The mini break and holiday workshops use a mix of meditation, mindfulness and relaxation exercises to help you unwind and feel refreshed. Your body will relax, as your mind slowly takes some time to 're-boot'. We explore ways to find your 'happy triggers' - helping you take away ideas and techniques you can use every day to help you find a moment of calm whenever you need it.

BalanceTime's next mindfulness meditation micro holidays are on Tuesday 6th February, Thursday 8th February and Tuesday 27th March - for more info - contact us - or visit our what's on page.
