Short and simple, our One-minute rituals can be slipped into daily life with minimum fuss. As with many things in life, little and often is better than not at all! Small steps really do reap maximum benefits. The rituals can be integrated into other routines, such as shaking whilst brushing your teeth.

I make sure I do these rituals each morning and evening and I can honestly say they keep me calm, centred and able to cope with whatever life throws at me.
