What Are You Doing This Weekend?



Yesterday was such a wonderful day as I offered a free LIVE Masterclass on using English confidently and fluently for professional - and social - purposes (because our work also involves being able to make friends).

If you didn't register for it, watch out for the next one - coming very soon! - as I share the replay with everyone who registers and I guarantee that you'll benefit from becoming more aware of what confidence and fluency in English are really made of. (*Hint: it isn't about working very hard, and it isn't about learning and remembering grammar and vocabulary, either).

In the meantime, there are only 5 SPOTS left to speak with me 1:1 on zoom this weekend (and I've extended the period to Monday 22nd May). Ideal applicants are interested in learning about and nurturing their own health and well-being, how to reduce stress and anxiety, and are looking to go from independent (being able to understand the main points of clear texts in standard English if they are about topics with which they are familiar, whether in work, study or leisure contexts) to advanced, where you:

* can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning.
* can express ideas fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
* can use language flexibly and effectively for social and professional purposes.
* can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.

Let's chat about where you are with your English right now, what your personal and professional goals are, as well as where you'd like to be 6 months from now. Here is the link for you to choose a day and time that suits you.

See you on zoom!

La meditación - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intención es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboración entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podrían surgir en relación a la práctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales trataré de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero además me encantaría que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, trataré de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿Cómo funciona y para qué sirve la meditación? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la práctica de la meditación es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son múltiples y de gran profundidad - científicamente compr...

Happy New Year!

Hello! Let's start by talking about intention first. Dawn is a great time to reflect upon and lay out one's intentions for the day, and what better time than the dawning of a brand New Year to set out one's intentions for the 12 months ahead. So what are my aspirations for 2017? Well - basically - more of the same, really - please 😊 By this I mean: 1) More teaching - not in quantity but in continuation. I love my job 💖 2) More practising - sitting, walking, eating - more integration of the practice into my life overall - P.S. more kindness 🙏 2) More sharing - here I do mean quantity, hence this brand new blog. I want to share more about Mindfulness 💓💕💗💝 - in the classroom and in life. Hopefully, you'll be drawn to contribute with comments and ideas on how I can put this aspiration into action more effectively 😊 3) More cooking delicious, cruelty-free vegan food 😍 4) More cycling - healthy body, healthy mind 💚 5) More walking and ...

On Acceptance

Remember Supernanny Jo Frost and her catchphrase, "that's unacceptable"? "Unacceptable behaviour" was one of the countless things I learnt about during the decade I lived in the UK back in the noughties. When it comes to adults, the matter of accountability for one's behaviour became a fundamental piece of understanding, as if my entire life up until then had transpired in an incongruent, incomplete jigsaw puzzle without any awareness of it, and I'd suddenly found sufficient pieces to make much more sense of the whole. There was such joy, such happiness in this understanding, such relief, in fact, because here, in Latin America in general and in Mexico in particular, those pieces are simply missing. There's no rule of law here. In these parts of the world, we still rely heavily on religion for the teaching and learning of moral and ethical conduct, and the government's function is... well... far removed from the question of justice . A c...
