Indulge in a Loving, Nurturing, Self-Caring Ritual Overflowing with Scents of Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang Ylang.

Posted on February 8, 2012 | 1 Comment

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 →

Mike Booth talks about our Shift in Values, AEOS and Pegasus

Posted on January 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

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

What Could You See if You Opened Your Eyes Today?

Posted on December 12, 2011 | 1 Comment


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?

Louie Schwartzberg’s TED talk on Gratitude

Posted on December 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

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 →

Create a Space of Relaxation, Serenity and Love this December, by Making it a Priority to be Kind and Thoughtful to Your Self.

Posted on December 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

Whilst the holiday season is something that most of us look forward to, jumping with joy, it can also become a little stressful, frustrating and exhausting.

With the risk of sounding a little like the Scroodge, please be sensible. It’s not called the silly season for no reason. Partying, drinking, indulging, overeating and running around like a headless chicken from event-to-event and shop-to-shop, trying to please everyone but yourself, it’s no wonder many of us feel tired, rundown, overweight and stressed as the new year rolls around.

Green Inspiration from Switzerland

Posted on October 19, 2011 | 2 Comments

The first thoughts that come to mind when I hear the word Switzerland are ‘eco’ and ‘green’ – not only for the beautiful lush green valleys and mountains sprinkled with pretty flowers, but also for the admirable respect the people of Switzerland have for nature, the environment and sustainability. And how apparent that it is indeed green that we associate with this region. Continue reading →

Become Consciously Aware of What Goes In and On Your Body

Posted on October 1, 2011 | 1 Comment

October 1st is the kick off day for Vegetarian Awareness Month. A wonderful initiative to help inspire us to think about what goes in our mouth and how our choices can impact the world in which we share. We can all stick our head in the sand, if we so choose, and ignore the reality of what goes on in the world. Or we can do something about it. Continue reading →

I Would Rather Stumble A Thousand Times

Posted on August 25, 2011 | 2 Comments

I am forever grateful and deeply inspired by people who live their lives boldly; those who aren’t afraid to take that leap of faith in to the unknown; to follow their heart and take risks so that their dreams can perhaps one day become a reality; to create new dreams; to step up and challenge the “norms” and what society conditions us to believe as “real” or “truth”; those who seek consciousness, to “wake up” from the disillusions of what it means to live, to be successful and to be happy.

Here’s a little snippet of happiness for your Monday morning. I hope it provides as much inspiration and joy for you as it does for me.

Can’t wait to see the complete documentary – a visually driven film by Sagmeister about happiness. Its a proper look at all the strategies serious psychologists recommend that improve wellbeing, they include meditation, cognitive therapy and psychological drugs. Love it!
