One of the initiatives that I love to do with Be Genki is to support environmental sustainability campaigns that work towards a better, brighter and cleaner future for the world we live in. So, we make a promise to donate 5% of profits each year to ensure that every Be Genki purchase also gives back to the planet.
Recently I came across a FABULOUS initiative that caught my attention and that we will be donating to from 2012 onwards, called … [ drum roll ] … Treehenge.

So it seems I have a new friend. Not sure what he’s called yet (I’m open to any suggestions) … but nevertheless he’s been adding a little extra happiness to my days.
It all started about a month or two ago on Shire Farm – the Aura-Soma biodynamic farm – in Lincolnshire, when little lambs were popping out left, right and centre. It was so so cute to see tens of little ones jumping about the place. But one of them I took a particular love for … as he had one extra long “white sock” on his back leg. Continue reading

With Mother’s Day approaching what better time to reflect back on our mum’s and to send a little extra love and gratitude for all that they be.
When was the last time you gave your mum a big hug? a bunch of flowers? an afternoon together to talk and talk and talk until she’s talked out? a holiday for just the two of you?
A few weeks ago my mum and I went on a trip together. Just the two of us; and as I was booking everything it dawned on me that this was the first time that we had travelled together – just the two of us. Continue reading
Easter …
is it a time for cracking the shell for new beginnings?
new thoughts?
opening the mind to different possibilities?
transformation of self?

What if you spent the month of April making a conscious effort to reduce your footprint on the planet?
We all have to make decisions each and every day about how we choose to live our life and the products we choose to purchase. There are many alternatives that we can start to integrate in to our lives to help make the planet a cleaner, healthier and more enjoyable place to live. Continue reading

One little ritual that I have been loving lately is starting my day reading the “thought for the day” from the AEOS BLOG. It’s been a fabulous little reminder to implement all sorts of helpful, mindful and conscious practices in to my daily life.
For example, today’s thought for the day is:
Agree to disagree
Today is a day to practice caring, warmth and kindness toward ourselves. Self acceptance, extending outward to the world, helps to bring about healing and transformation in the conscious mind. Continue reading

Lately I’ve been particularly inspired by an interview in The Times magazine with one of my favourite novelists, Paulo Coelho, best known for The Alchemist. When asked “What is the purpose of love?” Paulo replied,
I am convinced that when you arrive seeking entry to the gates of heaven, the Lamb of God will not judge you on your good deeds or the things you achieved. The Lamb will ask one question: did you love enough? Cheesy, but true. Continue reading

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

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

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?
