Sometimes its just lovely to simply sit and be, especially when surrounded by nature, as you never know what might show up.
I couldn’t resist sharing these beautiful moments in time from my last weekend in the countryside, whilst pausing for a moment on a tree stump.
Such a joy to be gifted a herd of wild deer playing about and doing their thing, and then a duck doing a little dance on water. I kid you not! Look closely at the picture below. Continue reading
So beautiful and so true. Definitely worth watching … promise you’ll love it

Shire Farm is one of those mystical places that leave you drifting off in to fairy land. Whether its the rolling hills, meandering stream, huge crystals planted in the ground, or the heart shaped pond, a visit to Shire Farm is something that opens the imagination, nurtures the soul, and uplifts the spirit.
Having had the wonderful opportunity to be based just a quick drive from the Aura-Soma (Demeter-certified) biodynamic ‘Shire Farm’ for the past few months, its been a joy to visit regularly. However my visit this afternoon as the sun was setting was particularly exciting, as we discovered rabbit tracks making their way up the chakra path and pausing at the various chakra crystals … which can really only mean one thing, don’t you think, that our lovely little fluffy furry friends enjoy their daily meditation at Shire Farm.

Ahhh Valentine’s Day. Whether or not you revel in the love letters, bouquets of flowers and boxes of chocolate or ‘bah humbug’ your way through the “Hallmark Event”, I can’t help but think that it’s a nice little reminder for all of us to nurture the love in our relationships.
We all have relationships. Whether they are with our family, friends or lovers, they are all sacred friendships that require a certain amount of energy so that they remain positive. One relationship that we often forget about is the relationship we have with ourself. This is the most important of them all, and the one from which all other relationships stem from. It you don’t love yourself, how can you truly love someone else? Continue reading

Take a listen to the lovely Bianca Dye talking about and testing the acupressure pranamat live on air on her radio show i98FM.
Bianca is in to yoga and meditation and just happens to love us. Here’s a snippet of my favourite bit:
“I love all this self help stuff … and there’s this company called Be Genki who I’m absolutely in love with at the moment. They do all sorts of beautiful stuff, teas, and face products … and I saw this online and I thought I have to get one … it’s called the new self-healing pranamat, helps to relax and revitalize your body and mind. It’s meant to help with depression, headaches, muscle tone.”
Thank you Bianca xx you rock!!! xx
We have a strong ecological commitment at Be Genki to work towards a better, brighter and cleaner future for the world in which we live in. I am constantly looking at ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment via my business and personal life. As I learn from others and become more aware of choices, Be Genki becomes more green, more healthy, and more of a means to help inspire holistic happiness and positive change.
Over the past year, having the opportunity to learn from Aura-Soma (manufacturer of Active Energised Organic Skincare and Pegasus Parfum) I have been particularly inspired by the commitment and dedication of Aura-Soma to continue to step up to the demands of sustainability by doing more than their “part” in working towards “green” choices.

Very interesting interview with Mike Booth, Chairman of Aura-Soma, the company that manufactures the wonderful AEOS (Active Energised Organic Skincare) and Pegasus Perfume products.
extracts from the interview: “The Cosmetic industry is going towards, beauty comes from the inside, not what you put on the skin. So that’s where I think we can really help, because we’ve been working for nearly 30 years on what is on the inside and the inner beauty. Continue reading

Love love love this version of one of my favorite books about life’s ups and downs Oh, the Places You’ll Go by Dr Seuss, told by the people of Burning Man. A must watch!
I love the turn of the year. It inspires conversations of change within people. A chance to turn a new leaf. To choose something different. To finally do whatever it is that you’ve been meaning to do. To stop doing something that is causing you unease. What if you gave yourself that opportunity every day? What if each morning you woke up with a fresh clean slate … creating your life each and every day, being present, right here, right now, instead of regretting the past and assuming what the future will be made of. Continue reading
Thank you for all your support throughout 2011. As always, I am truly grateful for your continued belief in Be Genki. Such a joy to be doing what I love to be doing, with continued love and encouragement from you.
I once heard a phrase that I like to remind myself of often:
those who believe in magic, are those who get to experience it.
Wishing you a wonderfully happy and healthy holidays with the new year bringing with it an abundance of love and magic. xSam

Love this oh so important message from the lovely Dain Heer!
Open your eyes. What could you see around you that you haven’t been willing to see that’s been there all the time? What could you see if you were willing to just open your eyes and have a different point of view about the world? What could you see if you weren’t so focused on what seems like the problems of life and if you actually considered the possibilities that around you instead?

Another amazingly beautiful TED talk by Louie Schwartzberg.
Some of my favorite bits:
When people see my images a lot of times they say “oh my god”. Have you ever wondered what that meant? The “oh” means it caught your attention. It makes you present. It makes you mindful. The “my” means it connects to something deep within your soul. It creates a gateway for your inner voice to rise up and be heard. And “God”, God is a personal journey we all want to be on. To be inspired. To feel like we are connected to a universe that celebrates life. Continue reading
