This Viking ship with its shields of strength and  protection is my own intuitive discovery of self care. The voyage and start of Nordic Shield Mindfulness. This is the name I feel represents my own personal journey to help others stand strong and learn about mindfulness to protect their own health and well-being. 

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is learning how to create a foundation for developing human growth and potential . When we practice we can learn how this ancient tradition can help us build  techniques for self care. The Nordic countries are home to traditions where relaxation and mind calming are very important. This helps contribute to a healthier society and a happier one. We can certainly learn how Nordic living and the practice of mindfulness can help maintain harmony in our lives. Being mindful is not just meditation but changing our everyday activities to feel calmer and more relaxed My teaching shows how we can all achieve balance with the right techniques and understanding of the practice. 

With practice it alters neural networks in the brain to change by deleting the neural connections that are no longer necessary or useful, and strengthening the ones that increase optimal health. Modern science calls it ‘Neuroplasticity’  Simply put if we are anxious, stressed, dealing with health issues and difficulties in our lives we can change and grow to deal with them. Like putting up a shield of protection.
