Tiger’s Eye
Tiger’s Eye is a beautiful crystal/stone that has always called out to me so it’s no surprise that it’s also my zodiac birthstone (Gemini – and also Capricorn). I have the crystal in various forms, including a new Tiger’s Eye mala bead necklace from Portugal. It’s also a great stone for crystal healing. Find out…

Pigeon Pose
The Pigeon Pose (Kapotasana) is a great asana (pose), that handles stiff hips. It comes from a group of asanas, known as the ‘hip openers’, which helps keep our lower bodies to be as supple as possible.

My Introduction to Crystal Healing
My crystal healing journey began around four years ago – well, that’s when I began listening to the calls. I soon realised that all of my life, I have been called by crystals but just never knew that I was attracting them. When I was very small, my Mum gave me 20p to put in…

The person taking part in this…

What is the ‘Wolf Moon’?
The lunar cycle is very mystical and fascinating. Tomorrow is the first full moon of 2017! In India, we call the day of the full moon, Poon Mashi. It’s considered to be a very powerful time of the month, particularly in eastern cultures – which is why my family, and other Indian families, go to…

Lotus in the City
When you first clicked onto my blog, you may have asked yourself “what does Lotus in the City mean?” It is simply a metaphor – a state of being that I’ve felt throughout my whole life. I’ve always felt that I am constantly trying to keep myself balanced in a dualistic state. An example of…

Dream Yoga
So, tomorrow I’m going to a Dream Yoga discussion in Euston to find out more about Lucid Dreaming. I remember studying Lucid Dreaming when I studied Psychology during my A-Level’s and there was a lot of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung – who I found very interesting back then but would probably contradict most things…
