My mindful grounding practice is my need to be in nature, actually outside in it, surrounding myself in trees and woodland, as well as the sounds of wildlife and nothing, silence is such a deep practice for my everything to work and flow.

When my energy is not in flow, the 4 dimensions of my entire body are affected and my overall state of wellness does not feel good.

Sleep is necessary. Whether you need 8-9 hours or 4-5 hours to function well, we all need to determine what works for us to be able to live well and not walk around with matchsticks in our eyes all day, rely on caffeine and sugar to keep us going and not want to burst out crying out of exhaustion because you feel you could fall down on the spot and snore you head off.

I love alcohol. Gin, bubbles, cider, quality vodka and wine but they don't love me - in large doses. Alcohol + Ciara = Low Energy, unenthusiastic Ciara, and that is not a great combination.

I've had a number of non-negotiable spiritual daily practices for years. I just didn't realise, initially, that was what I was creating. But I am so glad I started it.

The expression of gratitude becomes easier and flows with practice. Like all of my daily spiritual practices, they become easier and more effective through the practice of them. Practice makes perfect.
