Episode 93 Enjoying the arrival at the platform of life   Today I talk about not just enjoying the journey of life but noticing truly notice the arrival. And I use the metaphor of travelling on the train of life. And I talk about travelling from station to station or life achievement to achievement. When we travel from station to station in life we arrive at a number of platforms. Often as soon as we reach the platform our mind is already one foot into the next journey. I thought about this and I refer to my own life experience. So today we do some work to help us appreciate and enjoy the arrival. Today we take the time to stand on the platform of life and appreciate the achievement without jumping straight back on the train. I also talk about the pre-order of my book 'daily rituals the happiness' which is currently on pre-order. Please purchase my book the sales of which supports my next book which is about stress management and also supports my podcast and videos. Hope you're well- Love Lauren. BUY MY BOOK

I read from my book softly  - Daily Rituals for Happiness Do you want to feel happy every single day? Written by Lauren Ostrowski Fenton, Daily Rituals for Happiness is a user-friendly guidebook that teaches readers a step-by-step technique for experiencing happiness every single day. Focusing on ritual as the key to happiness, the book details the significance of these simple yet powerful practices and explores how they help instil a sense of self through reinforcing values, affirming connections to the community, and supporting wellbeing. Through insightful exercises in each chapter, readers are encouraged to develop self-awareness and create their own rituals, with an emphasis on feeling sensations of comfort, experiencing meaningful engagement, and embracing the rewards which come with planning and achieving realistic goals.“come with planning and achieving realistic goals. The book provides support and encouragement for those who feel lost, lack motivation, and are searching for a straightforward and sus

Episode 91 Too detachment makes Jack an antisocial boy- Parenting - the highs and the lows In this episode, I'm recovering off the back of a lost school jumper issue...an ongoing issue I assure you. Today I talk about the careful and sometimes precarious balance we strike between being the parent full of compassion and without expectation and the parent who sets realistic boundaries and requires the child to be responsible. What is the careful line between attachment and attachment? What do you think? And what about relationships, love, and parenting???? Is it really truly about reducing relationship attachment or does it run more deeply than that? What is the answer? I think the answer is about walking the line between attachment and detachment in order that we allow others to grow, we maintain our boundaries, we maintain a healthy sense of self, and we contribute to the world community and environment. What do you think? What are your views on parenting? On relationship? And by the way, it is 10 days to boo

Episode 90 The art of noticing and how to be happy every day with tulips & blocked sinks Do you want to learn how to feel happy every single day?   Hi everyone, my much-loved book( nicknamed Alby after Albatross) is out on pre-order I'm so incredibly infinitely excited. Today with tea in hand I talk about The art of noticing. This is a really important element in our ability to feel happy every single day. I talk about how to practice the art noticing and how this skill can contribute significantly to not only our happiness but a sense of peace. The art of noticing is about experiencing the moment and squeezing the moment dry. It is about smelling the aromas, noticing the textures, embracing the sounds, and being with every sensual moment. The art of noticing requires practice and as with all practices, it requires skill, focus, and repetition. As we repeat the art of noticing over time our brain cognitively learns to feel happy. What don't you give it a try? Lets experience the art of noticing together.

We each choose how to listen to the sounds of our life. Have you heard of that saying... If a tree falls in the wood... And no one hears it fall... Does it make a sound? Today I talk about how we choose how to internalise sounds. The amazing composer John Cage who composed 4.33 says “If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.” ― John Cage. Sound by itself is merely sound we choose what meaning to give it. This one today is very close to my heart. I do hope that you enjoy it. Please listen to the following You tube video. Today I talk about one of my personal experiences with sound and how we can choose the meaning of sound and by doing so we can choose the meaning of our lives. Hope you're all well Love Lauren aka the whispering mother John Cage on silence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcHnL7aS64Y&feature=youtu.be PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to my podcast https://itunes.apple.com/au/p

Hi every one, I hope that you are well. Do you ever have a moment of self realisation? Sometimes we have moments in our life during which we have an epiphany. In the last couple of days I realised I truly realised that when we wish for something we do not have in the present moment we are essentially stealing time from our authentic self and giving this to our egoic self. When we look towards the future rather sit in the present we lose the amazing opportunity to live. And when we wish for tomorrow or next week or next year we steal today and the following days from ourselves. It is so important to walk in each step to breathe in each breath and to notice each sunset. Do you sit in the present? Do you experience each amazing moment that life presents us with? Or do you look back in time or wish forward in time? It's challenging isn't? To truly sit in the present takes dedication and practice. But it's so worth it. Because it is only in the present that we can find happiness. Much love to all Lauren AKA the wh
