New Wigwam Cancer Support Groups launched
Finding a way forward with a cancer diagnosis by Philip Booth (also published in Health Triangle Magazine Issue 83). Overwhelmed. Terrified. Bewildered. Just some of the emotions I felt following my prostate cancer diagnosis three years ago. My situation was then compounded by a number of different treatment options. What was the best way forward?...

Yes to Life Stands in Solidarity with Black Lives Matter
The outrage following George Floyd’s death and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black, Asian and Ethnic Minorities (BAME) communities (i) are powerful reminders of how much action is still needed in terms of racism and inequality. This is not a new issue. It has been staring at us in plain view for decades. But...

Day at a time, Uncertainty, 22/5/2020
A wonderful Qi Gong practice this morning, activating energy and flow in the body ending with bamboo in the wind; feet together and letting the body gently rock and sway. I experience a feeling of flow and ease; mind, body and heart at one....

Day at a time, Lingering in happiness, 21/5/20
Yesterday I made a commitment to renounce the habit of hurrying. Today sitting in meditation, I notice hurry up mind arising. Ideas are coming to me about the Wigwam initiative – the online forums, people to be involved, fund-raising ideas and I can feel the energy in my body wanting to jump up off the cushion....

Day at a time, A daily practice is a gift, 20/5/20
I practiced the same beautiful routine this morning of rebounding, Qi Gong and meditation. What a wonderful way to start the day. I wonder why it has taken me half a lifetime (hopefully) to discover the joy of a morning routine and how it opens up my moment by moment experience for the rest of the day....

Day at a time, Choose life, 19/5/2020
Sitting here now, in my body, feeling its weight and the solidity of my feet flat on the floor, mind calm – enjoying the present moment. It is a well-earned! For over 2 hours I have given the mind and body the attention it enjoys, starting with 20 minutes cardio and strength building on the rebounder,...

Day at a time, The art of being truly alive, 17/5/2020
Normality – a day of normality on Saturday. I drove my son to visit his girlfriend forty minutes’ drive away. It was the first time I’d driven in 8 weeks and I had to think about where the controls were. Later that day, my sister and husband cycled over and we had social distancing tea in the garden....

A day at a time, Prioritizing self-care, 15/5/2020
I was coughing a lot last night and being woken up by it – not Covid-19 – but a reaction to the dogs who have been choosing to hang out on my bed all day. I must do something about that. We’ve been out of our bedroom since before lockdown because of building work....

Day at a time, Daily check in, 14/5/20
This morning I woke up feeling unwell all over and with a mild discomfort in my chest. I decided to go back to the first Qi Gong immunity boost flow practice which felt very healing and positive at the beginning of this lockdown when I was feeling quite fearful....

Day at a time, Slowing down, 11/5/2020
The new lockdown rules have barely changed for the majority of us. However, just contemplating a change has many people reflecting on the life they have now and the life they were living before....

Day at a time, Being intentional, 10/5/20
So, my new resolve to practice Qi Gong followed by meditation, making up a morning practice of ninety minutes is already floundering. The extra discipline required on a Bank holiday weekend has not been there. Getting up a bit later combined with no work structure or agenda is a definite hindrance to me. I slip into procrastination all too easily....

Day at a time, Reasons to be cheerful, 09/05/2020
When the sun is shining it is easy to feel gratitude. However, when we experience periods of stress and challenge in life, we forget the very things that resource us. We become over-whelmed by the stress or pain we are experiencing. It is at these times we need family or friends to remind us or books that inspire and encourage us to find peace in the midst of it all....
