6 Reasons To Go Vegan Or Plant Based

By Dublin, Food, HappyFood, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Jenny from HappyFood here. Iā€™ve been working in HappyFood since February 2015. I am currently in my final year studying BSc Culinary Entrepreneurship. Iā€™ve been working in kitchens for four years now, but became so disillusioned with the food industry when I always had to work with animal products, and the menus were always heavily based on meat, fish and dairy with little or no healthy or plant based options. So naturally when I heard about a vegan restaurant in…

Metta Bhavana: Parts IV and V

By Dublin, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

This is the last part of the metta bhavana series. Itā€™s a combination of stages IV and V, as it deals with Anonymous and The World. Every one you donā€™t know. The person who makes your coffee. The person who makes your clothes. The person on the other side of the world eating a sandwich at the same time you are eating a sandwich. Personally, I feel like this is the stage of real magic and growth. Stage I helps…

Metta Bhavana: Part III

By Dublin, Ireland, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Apart from writing and teaching yoga, I rent out my flat to Dublin visitors. The last time I checked, Iā€™ve had over 50 different guests stay at the flat. Iā€™ve met people who I would now consider friends, as well as people who were a challenge for me to host. I learned about the practice of metta bhavana just before a particularly challenging guest came to stay. Even before she arrived, I was bombarded with nearly 20 emails with various…

Find Calm In The Chaos – YogaHub

By Asana, Dublin, Humour, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Music, Rachelle Hicks, Teachers, Yoga

Itā€™s possible. Honestly, I really felt it. To find calm in the chaos. And, whoa, Dublin, itā€™s nice to finally meet you. I recommend it. Stop on the sidewalk for 5 minutes and really take a look at your surroundings. Smile at someone you might otherwise pass by. Find a space in your day to say HELLO to the city you live in. It has stuff to say back. Be still long enough to listen. You might find that the…

Metta Bhavana: Part II

By Dublin, Ireland, Meditation, Mindfulness, Motivational, Rachelle Hicks, Wellbeing, Yoga, YogaHub

Itā€™s like when your best friend or your partner does something that gets under your skin. You know this person so well that your thoughts spill out as not-so-gentle words. But hopefully youā€™ve been practicing part 1 of metta bhavana towards yourself. Youā€™re calmer. Things are bit more still. You have a new-found respect for yourself, more stability, and want to engage with people in ways that are mindful rather than rash and chaotic. This is part 2 of Metta…
