"You spend half your life accumulating things and the other half trying to get rid of it." Much love to you Faerie.
That is so true. I downsized and threw away 2 tons of junk accumulated over a quarter century. What a waste of money. Now I still have things to donate and I don't shop for stuff anymore. Only essentials.
46 Janny Lane lol so so true
46 Janny Lane so so true!! I love that quote!
I may accumulate, but I also take very good care of everything I have. I usually pass everything on to neighbors, friends and family.
Diane R same here my neighbours love me lol.
I am fifteen years old and I started to declutter my room and started to live a minimal life from the last month and I am loving it...... I am getting so much more time to study and my health has improved... I got one of your videos in my recommendation and I am grateful for that......
And , I just love your accent ma'am.....
I am very proud of you guys ❤️
So nice!!!
I'm attending a convention that speaks about achieving happiness, and that's actually one of the topics that was addressed.
www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/conventions/2020-convention-video/
Guys this person is a Jehova witness and once you fall into their trap they are very persistent for you to join their cult. Better not get involved in any kind of conventions with these people. I though it’s better you know, Stay safe my loves 💕
Keu to ache Bengali hi I'm also 15yers old❤️❤️❤️
At 15 you are truly blessed to find the minimalist path🙏
"Activities that are seemingly mundane, become precious." As a child I remember my bff's Mom, folding the laundry with such grace that the simple act of folding laundry looked so incredibly beautiful and loving. I still think about it and have told her how much that moved me as a child and that I wished some day I would be able to move through my chores with that kind of perfect elegance. Thanks for sparking that memory for me again..
Sueanne Sorrentino Isn’t that lovely. You have the secret to living well.
I have so many positive life skills learned from my parents. I see my mother's hands through the activities I now do. I'm so humbled and grateful for what I learned at her side.
How nicely you remarked on this.
Kind greetings from Switzerland.
@LJ H my kids think they are doing me a favor if they wash my dishes or do my laundry, bless them, they mean well!
I LOVE doing the dishes. Watching my bunnies out the window with their babies is ENDLESS entertainment. I giggle and laugh and its a great blessing.
Laundry also. There is just something very soothing about heating the water over firewood, scrubbing the clothes on an ancient plank. Hanging the clothes on the line "just so" so that there are minimal wrinkles or marks.
So proud of my bright whites. A sense of accomplishment and graditude . Its my favorite thing to do other than cooking ♡
Cooking makes me so excited. Like I'm a mad scientist lol
I'm always laughing and whooping and hollering and thinking up new tweaks. Truly my passion. I have workers who call me Mama and say really I don't need to pay them just PLEASE FEED THEM 😜
Those are the things I try to do. For simple tasks such as folding laundry, washing dishes, such things that you do everyday that allow you to kinda slip away. It's so beautiful. (I know most people have to do it kinda hurried cause we all are busy, but just to pick one thing a day you can focus on and block everything else out can really change your outlook
Somebody should really buy up a forest and build small cottagecore town in the middle where everyone lives like this. because i would live there in a heartbeat.
Or you can move to Ireland or Scotland lmao
yes lets run away to norway
I agree! The concept of this movie is a little intense, but have you watched “The Village” by M. Night Shyamalan? I’ve always told my mom that I would love to live in that situation, haha! 😄
Its called a commune, or Intentional Living Community. There are plenty across the states you can join!
YES!!! 😍
Nowadays, more and more Japanese are leaving the big cities and living in the countryside. They're starting to realize the benefits it has for their children and themselves.
Awesome , the same thing has been happening in the USA to some extent.
Where some middle class families have been moving out of cities and into the countryside and/ or wilderness and living more simple and sustainable lifestyles on either small farms or homesteads, just like in the old West and frontier pioneer days of the 19th century. I definitely think that’s really cool how those people are living with nature and in nature, I wish everyone could live more simple and sustainable lives like that. It would be a lot better for the planet and humanity
Several years ago I heard a word, I live by. You defined it well.
'Enoughness'
Phyllis Chaput I like that word.
In Sweden that's called LAGOM...not too much, not too little, just enough ❤
Yes!! That is one reason I love the Lord--one of His names is: El Shaddai--the God who is ENOUGH.
@@karencompton5926 💗✨
This chanel is so unique .. I have no idea how I stumbled on it a few months ago but I know I can’t live without it..thank you is little said 💕🌹
Same. Thank you.
@@stylenseason Watching every Sunday is a great way to start your day. Like a mini holiday from our stressful lives.
Watching this kind of video makes me so happy...
FIMEARSCARBA By Lumy Nitsa awh thank you so much. Really lovely to hear that. I’m very glad you stumbled upon my little channel x
She is such a blessing 💖
“Living WITH nature instead of against.” ❤️
Niamh you’re storytelling and video style have come so far and you really do produce works of art. Such a lovely video.
Amy Louise thanks for noticing and valuing. My hubby does the camera work and we are trying to improve the quality as the weeks go on.
Yes, it felt like a meditation to me. Thanks so much, Niamh, for your warm and lovely voice!
Gosh, I just teared up a little. You hang up your laundry reminded me of myself as an au-pair in Kenmare (think I stated this before). I lived on the outskirt of town, right beside fields and hanging the laundry on a sunny, windy day while breathing the fresh Irish air was one of my favorite tasks during that time. It had such a calming effect.
I don't have the fresh Irish air but I agree.
I love laundry days.
Fresh sheets off the line are such a blessing.
MissSophisticated I remember you said before of your Kenmare time. It really has a special place in your heart. You must have some Irish blood in you for such a strong connection.
Dutchgram ohh I just came back from a holiday in lauragh which is 20 minutes south of Kenmare :)) I loved the nature, sheep everywhere! I can imagine why you loved it there
slow-living reminders are the best on sundays 🧡
This evening we spoke of how comfortable and grateful we were in out little ranch house in Montana, US. We are senior seniors and are grateful for our good health so we can continue our work on our little property. We enjoy being home.
Jeanne Bowes that’s lovely Jeanne. X
Good, long may it last for you. There is far too much jetting around getting little glimpses of idealism when the place to really be yourself is home - lovely.
I was born by God's dear grace,in an extra-
Ordinary place... howdy neighbor!
You hit the nail on the head when you said a change in attitude was the most important step in the journey to a simpler life. Beautiful, quality video as always, thank you for your efforts. I think if we can inspire rather than frighten people into behavioural change, there is great hope for our beautiful planet. It is so very possible to have a beautiful, happy life with very little money. I loved hearing your story as it is very similar to mine. X
Most of my possessions were given to me or found at the dump. I've always taken great pleasure in cleaning and restoring things to make them new again.
so nice... most of my things are 'hand me downs' from family and friends...so nice to bring the item renewed life...
At one time I had four part time jobs as a nurse and was a single mother. This meant I had maybe 4 days a month off. I look back now and wonder how on earth I did that. All in the name of making money because that is what we are taught to do. I spent way more money on stuff back then for my kids to make up for my absence I guess. Now I am retired and enjoy a much simpler life thankfully. I look back at money and time wasted that I can't get back. Hope to instill these lessons to my now adult children and my grandchildren. Life should be happy and simple for all. This channel reminds us of that. Thank you Niamh for showing us how.
cindy b wow Cindy nice that you learnt that and are able to share the wisdom with others.
Fairyland Cottage is the best chanell... ♥️
Agreed
Ellaine Erfe true
Let us take a moment to appreciate the fact that she can literally do everything right from cooking to stitching to DIYs to making such amazing content ❤️
Ah thanks for the appreciation!!
I wish I could live in a cottage in the Irish countryside. It seems more conducive to sustainability than where I live, which is polar opposite to cozy Ireland. Thank you for a pleasant daydream.
Your grandparents would love how their words of wisdom are being shared for the world to benefit......🙏
I grew up in a very old village, playing with my friends in the fields and would spend hours just lying on the grass enjoying 'existing' and it was a beautiful time. In 2013 I got what i thought was my dream job as a mechanic, it was a time of fighting, stress, arguments, and just pure hell. Those 2 years alone undid my entire childhood of peace and mindfulness. Now I'm out, I'm trying to beat my anxiety and stress and go back to how I was by living simply, and going back to my routes. This video just convinces me that I can feel that way again 😊
“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance” - Coco Chanel. There is such an elegant grace to the way that you live your life and view the world. It is refreshing in a time of greed and social media, to find someone who embodies such similar sentiments as my own. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wish list : all things in this video.
Farnaz Liravi all the best things money can’t buy
@@FairylandCottage But first ... I need a cottage...
Noooo! You don't need a cottage, you can 'bloom where you are planted'. The cottage my come one day, but until then there are hundreds of things you can do to live more peacefully and simply.
Madeleine Lawrence I wish... but I live in capital. Where there is cars instead of trees. As soon as my studies are finished i will move somewhere near jungle. I practically cried yesterday when i saw a perfect house near jungle.
@@madeleine7729 thank you so much for your message, it wasn't directed at me, but was so good to hear. I live in the city and this video made me happy and sad at the same time so your words are of great help. I could start with my tiny balcony. "Bloom where you're planted" love it! 🌱
There is an old saying "Simplicity is the mother of beauty....."Am glad that the saying became doing...Niamh I am once again reminded that it needs very less to live.. God bless you...xx
That is a lovely saying... thank you for sharing ...
God bless to you too x
started my own journey to (some sort of) minimalism about a month ago. Did a huge declutter of my room--nearly 12 years worth of things I never use or need--and got rid of 6 big bags of stuff to be donated or recycled. Next step is my wardrobe, then my beauty products, etc. It's a slow journey but I'm gonna get there eventually! Watching your channel really helps, so thank you!
Claire Boxwell really well done to you! Inspiring! Make sure to have adequate cups of tea ;-)
Claire Boxwell Well dont Claire , I am the same and 3 years on, I’m still decluttering and reducing . With cosmetics , make sure to use them up. Energy went into producing them, dumping them , just wastes that energy . So while I buy so much less, I still have lots of stuff because I am constantly using up bits around the house . I found pouring a half empty bottle of a cosmetic into another bottle , made me feel at least like I was decluttering and that in time , I’d use up those bottles too. I had some full bottles that I donated to a women’s shelter and gave to friends to use up. I also keep things I know are useful. So for instance I’ll be moving house next year . In work we got a delivery with lots of bubble wrap. I collected it up because I knew I could use it and when I’ve moved . I’ll donate it to someone else to reuse and hopefully it will continue. Use apps like BUNZ or Yahoo groups like Freecycle or websites like Gumtree and Craigslist to get rid of stuff . I donated old linen and towels and blankets to a shelter (Ring them first to ask if they take them) , the ones that were very warn out I gave to a dogs home (again I emailed before dropping them off ). Just some tips
the beauty always comes with the simple things .
Junk DNA no truer words said.
Agree😍
My parents were the generation who would “make do and mend”, grew all their own vegetables, bought food from individual shops not supermarkets. Some of my happiest memories were blackberry picking and making into jam and pies, we would take a picnic and spend the whole day there. They just didn’t buy very much at all, we didn’t have heating or hot water until I was a teenager but we thrived and were never happier or healthier. It doesn’t seem so easy today, there is so much pressure to buy and consume, I try to grow as many vegetables as I can, buy food with no packaging, go to the market. If we need anything we always go to second hand websites, thrift shops, car boots. We all need to try and up cycle, mend and re use and I think this would make a difference no matter how small. I love your videos and the message they bring❤️
so true... the pressure has increase so sometimes you feel like you are swimming upstream...
Best way to live 💖
Que bonito mensaje, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Oh this sounds wonderful! ❤❤
When I was a child my mother made our clothes, our toys and cooked the food. It was hard work because there were 10 of us and the war had left very little in the shops. We loved our food, I can even remember the taste of some things. Today it is all piled high in the supermarkets but there is no taste to it. It’s time to go back to having less but better food, to having clothes that are of better quality instead of off the peg at low prices. To lead a less consumer life and enjoy to simpler life.
Content in the video and you voice and way of narrating it calms mind.
May I request you if you can make a video how this journey of your started, what was the triggering factor to move to minimalist lifestyle and what sort of challenges you faced and how you overcame those to reach at this point. If its not personal then would love to hear from you.
Regards
Sandeep Mukherjee I too would like to see a video on how she started, challenges.
Yeah me too I want to hear them
really nice question and interest... I can see can I put everything together into some type of video.... for me it was a very gradual process... the more I minimised, the more I wanted to minimise... I also left my life behind as a nurse and got rid of my stuff and moved abroad with just two small suitcases and that was in my twenties... from there it has been a slow journey... which included a trip to India...
@@FairylandCottage
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 We will wait for the video.

You are such an inspiration - I was getting so fed up with my home - you have helped me look at it with fresh eyes and to appreciate what I have and to learn to treat it with the respect it deserves. Thank you so much. Please keep these videos coming. 💕
Same for me.
Season .Appreciation awh that’s a lovely insight you had for your home. Renewed respect. :-)

안녕하세요..
What a lovely, peaceful way to start my Sunday. This simple living lifestyle is by far the richest. You will spend the rest of your learning, which is as it should be. Have a wonderful week.
I love hanging out the laundry! So meditative. I’ve also enjoyed planning next year’s garden space, with plans to add more beds and better utilize the space we already have. Thank you for the beauty of your intentionality and appreciation of “simple” things.
Sounds wonderful!! I am hoping to grow even more veggies next year...
One of my goals in healing from intense burnout is to build my strength and energy back up so that I can do more things like this. Thank you for the inspiration!
Surely things like these will strenghten you! Nature helps us get better, a simple life can be healing in itself.
Wishing you hope and patience for every step in this journey 💞
Rebecca E. Webber May you feel well and healed and may you see the blessings in everyday life. You are inspirational.
@@FairylandCottage thank you so much! You are so kind and lovely. ✨
Sending you all the best for healing Rebecca. Nurture yourself as you would nurture a precious child. Give yourself care and joy
You teach us how to live an easy life... I feel so calm and relaxed to watch your videos... You are a pure soul... If there's more like you then world will be a better peaceful place... God bless you love... 🤗❣️
You are a very kind person to say. Thank you my friend. God bless to you too x
I agree....so am writing down ways that I can be more like this. Baby steps but they are very empowering. Good fortune to you on your journey.
True you should never disconnect from nature and should always let things happen organically
Olu Wimalasena yep things happen organically is so well said :-)
Fairyland Cottage ❤️
Thank you for all your peaceful thoughts and tipps!
Monika Grein thanks Monika!!
“Everything you do has an impact on everything around you”
I love the emphasis on sustainability as a journey. Lifestyle changes have taken place over time for me as well. Not giving up and taking it one day, one change, one purchase (or lack thereof), and most importantly taking responsibility for my impact brought me ever more closer to my goal of gentle conscious living.
Salve to my soul. Simple beauty. Spiritual life. We can all have this joy. Thank you.
So beautiful, peaceful, and inspiring! It makes us feel as if we are living back in the late 1800' s , early 1900' s. Thank you!
Ah thanks my friend x
i can't even begin to tell you how peaceful your videos are and I've started adopting your ways of living a simple life! It is so inspiring and you're doing such a great job THANK YOU
I never wanted this video to end! What a blessing, what a peaceful quiet life. This is where God lives. We were created and placed in a garden and given dominion over all in that garden. We are meant to be in nature. I am in the process myself of moving from the city to live this way. God bless you 🙏🏻📖🤗♥️
Sky Cherubim awh thank you so so much. God bless xxx
You always inspire me to keep life simple, with less waste and more freedom.
Ellaine Erfe simple all the way my friend!
@@FairylandCottage Yes, indeed. Simple is beautiful. Simple is sustainable. And simple is always the way to go.
Thank you, I really needed this today. Your videos are always a breath of fresh air. Thank you for sharing.
At age 53 now I've come to know that less is more. I am so grateful for those things that money can't buy. I love your vlog and strive to simplify my life even more. Thank you for your willingness to be honest about how beautiful it is to become someone who lives on less.
thank you for your kind words Kathy.
Hello Niamh,
This was by far, your best video. With all the chaos in my life at the moment, winterizing and renovating my tiny cottage, your videos take me away from everything. I get up on Sunday mornings, make myself a cup of tea, sit back and relax, and enjoy the peace and serenity of your voice and beautiful visuals.
Thanks so very much for sharing.
Tiina 😊💛
Ah thanks Tiina,
I like winterizing... good luck with all your renovations... good you get a break and a cuppa every now and again... haha :-)
Long ago, maybe 15 years now, I had a dream - a 'character' who is one of my archetypes that I've always called 'Prairie Girl' -- was in the dream, in a very simple room, with the door opened onto a Nebraska prairie view (beautiful alfalfa grasses). I also was in the room, and rather … spluttering and confused and frantic, pacing, and talking to her as she quietly stood looking out at the view … ultimately, after listening closely to me, she said, "I don't know how to be 'wanting'." And she gestured to the scene outside, and the sunrays coming into the room we stood in. That dream changed everything about my perspective. I've never forgotten that sentence - 'I don't know how to be wanting." I feel like this video (and many many others of yours) expresses something along those same lines, and reiterates and sounds down that outlook. so so soul-satisfying. (P.S. Another channel you might really love, which I've only just yesterday discovered: Girl in Calico").
You are so right on with this 💖 Girl in Calico has some nice food vids - but not authentic like this- but still very lovely ! 💖
Girl in Calico's edits are out of this world
Oh Toni. That’s so beautiful. Yes. I follow the girl in calico too. Also for a male version check out my self reliance. Awesome folks. !
thanks you for sharing that lovely dream you had... I am very honoured...
I love Girl in Calico... such a gentle channel
Thank you for sharing that. Prairie Girl as archetype intrigues me. What else has she told you? I'd love to see the Nebraska prairie at some point. I grew up in Alberta and I really miss the prairies a lot. Living in a Pacific NW rainforest is so very different. Pleasing in other ways, but often lacking in space: wide open skies and endless horizons. Plus the light. And the way the wind moves the grasses. So precious. Thanks again :)
Thank you for all the reminders and encouragements - !
Best Sunday message I've heard in decades. Thank you.
Rebecca Oliver ah thanks Rebecca!
The only recommendation which makes me smile instantly ❤❤

With your pictures/videos and your calming voice you are calming down me. Thank you sooooooo much and please go on with this. Warm and peaceful greetings from a wife of 52 in the north of Germany. God bless you🙏❤.
Lila Lavendel ah thanks so much. Love and blessings to you in north Germany x
@@FairylandCottage Oh thank you❤
Lovely video, Niamh. Now that looks like a strong, sturdy washing line. Don't think it's doing to drop the laundry on the ground this time. "Living with nature instead of against it" - love it. So true. You did a splendid job on the blind. Well done. Thanks for posting.
Doro ah thanks! Yes it looks sturdy but don’t be fooled with heavy sheets the wire pops out over the fence! Haha :-)
Walking in nature is one of the most simple yet rewarding things one can do. Fresh clean air, varied sounds of life greeting the day, the sun rising and shining as well as gathering beautiful thoughts of thankfulness at life. What more could one wish for. Bird songs, gentle breezes....there's so much to absorb. Thanks for this beautiful 'simplistic way of life'.
beautifully said x
This channel is such a treasure and this video is one I feel I will come back to often. Much love and blessings to you, Niamh 💜🌿

Sincerest of thanks! I left urban living behind twenty years ago. No regrets. I hardly ever spend time in cities these days and when I do, I find all the pavement and noise quite overwhelming. Everything moves so fast there! Slow and country is my way too :) Sending love from SW British Columbia.
Wonderful for you too... hard to get me out of the countryside since I left the city! blissful eh x
Thank you. Your videos give me safety and reduce my anxiety 🌱
lovely to hear x
Your such a beautiful person in tuned to the good earth.. Thank you x
Beautiful Niamh xx
Awh thanks Immy for watching :-)
I have noticed a lovely trend in channels like yours. You can make the most mundane tasks into grace-filled motion. Nothing hurried, nothing chaotic. Also, the items you use everyday are even beautiful and well crafted fit for many years of purpose and pleasure.
Thanks Lynnette, I appreciate that insight.
I found this at 4 in the morning after a VERY rough day on the homestead yesterday... Your voice is amazing, and the background music is a perfect compliment to the video - I haven’t felt this calm in a very long time. I’m ready to face my day now with a grateful heart. Thank you (hug)
gosh thank you for sharing... hug back to you too. May you have calmness all the day long :-)
I’m proud of you and what you do and the great feeling i feel when i see these videos
You made me adore Ireland
Im touched by your meditation, by the beauty of your images, sounds, as well by your serenity and sincerity. Thank you very much for sharing with us!!! Peace nas Joy
Thank you Niamh. I'm not sure why but this brought tears to my eyes...could it be because I am finding my way back to what is important.
Awh Francine you have a soft heart, which is very special...

This is beautiful, during this COVID time I have been watching bushcrafting shows and returned back to nature, the human race left reality, listening to your sweet voice and remembering my epic moments in the pine forests, yes returning back to the real world we left , you brought a sense of peace with your channel
Darren Parkes I too have been watching bush rafting shows.
With a world gone mad it is pushing me to get back to basics.
I’m glad you found a sense of peace from the video.
Wow. The beauty of slow living and mindfulness. Watching this during quarantine
Living like this is not who I really am but I do love the fantasy when I watch your videos.
Ah I like to hear that... thanks for watching x
Funny I feel this way about people in my life also I don't need 20 or more friends when they have baggage with them become my baggage also so I don't do FB ect... I like my private life
JR Pacer me too. Quality over quantity.
I love love your channel!! I’ve been living as a minimalist and low consumer for a while but since I found your channel it’s helped me to organize my space and declutter, find natural ways to clean and update my pantry to jars and do more bulk buying! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I’m grateful for you and others that are showing us how to live simply and waste free.
God bless you dear Niamh..just stumbled on to your golden pedestal of wisdom ,simplicity & beauty.I truly feel its the Almighty's doing to make me listen to the most soothing & wonderful words I've ever listened to.Thanks for brightening up my day.
You are so kind and generous with your words... thank you and God bless x

I loved this, as always. The moss! Will that continue to grow after you place it there? My cottage is in front of a wooded area, so if that’s the case, I will harvest some. Thank you so much for sharing this. These videos always give me inner peace. ☮️💕
Yes tecnically should keep growing there..there is moisture from the air and stone to cling to, should work.
mary sibb I must look that up actually. I’m not sure!
These videos are so calming. Thanks for sharing!

Not only is this video is incredibly calming, but it has also brought my inner smile back to life. I aspire to have even a little piece of this kind of life. Living slowly and intentionally can seem almost impossible in today's world, but videos like these reignite my hope.
beautiful said I must say.... delighted you got your inner smile back ...
Thanks for the reminder; we all too often become forgetful.
So lush and green. Thanks for your expression on being connected to nature.
I'm on such a journey myself. We recently moved into a rural area surrounded by woods and lots of natural resources, and I plan on homesteading. As we go through our things, we're divesting ourselves of that we don't use or need. Downsizing, simplifying and working with nature. I've restarted a channel on here and a blog to share that journey, glad I found your channel through a friend. Many blessings. 💛❤️💜
What a lovely gift for a loved one! Lucky Mum!
Such a beautiful video. My family and l are working toward these same goals, and we’re fortunate enough to be able to instill these values in our two young children. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, and the list of things I’m thankful for is endless. Many blessings to you 😊❤️
Ah Happy Thanksgiving... Im very grateful for you to watch... may you are your family reach your goals easily and at exactly the right time x
Seven minutes of pure beauty.
I just love your videos. You are such a inspiration.We live in a flat used to own a home and we sold it to have smaller space. Ever since I’ve been watching your videos I have notice that I really don’t need so much stuff. Iam trying to be more simple and utilizing things I already have. Please continue giving us more beautiful videos. Thank you. Small steps are great for a simpler life.
Wonderfully said my friend... keep smiling and feeling the joy in the simple things x
Thank you, Niamh for this peaceful atmosphere, for your calming voice and such an important message🌿
So beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this lovely and relaxing video. It was the perfect thing to watch on a Sunday morning. I wish I lived more in the country (though our neighborhood is very nice) - it would be wonderful to be closer to so much nature. Usually, I drive to some nice nature walks, but it's not the same. Your video gave me a deep feeling of gratitude :)
Omg...! There's only one sentence in my mind on seeing this video "You are so blessed" to get connected to the mother earth. Loved it ! Can we expect an house tour video ? ( in and around )
haha thanks! I am blessed and very grateful.
The most rewarding diy ever. Your window treatment looks amazing. I've recently moved to the northern woods of Quebec here in Canada. It has been challenging since I've lived i the downtown sector of Montreal, Canada all of my life. Your videos give me freedom to move at my own pace. Merci xx Natasha
Ah thanks so much! such a rewarding DIY
Your voice is so soothing and blissful, if one closes his/her eyes, it will transport them to a meditative and tranquil state of mind. What you say is so apt, we often believe that having something gives a sense of completeness which on the contrary is not so.
...so true. I like the way you say it...
I always wanted to live a simple life.... I never had a desire to live in a big house or have a lot of stuff...
wise one x

Some of your videos are the best guided meditations I've heard. Sometimes I let them play in the background while working.
Lovely, lovely video. But I got nervous watching the part about horsetail because it is poisonous for horses. Blocks B1. Neurological degeneration. So I googled about human toxicity. Turns out it can be used as an herbal medicine. Reduces blood pressure. Reduces edema. I guess it can be used with care as a medicine when appropriate. High silica content. Thank you for your beautiful work!!
Barbara Massey ah thanks Barbara. Yeah I watch the Herbal Jedi on YT. He is very expert!
THIS is the message the 21st century needs. This, and that all this is given by our Creator God. Thank you my dear.

God bless to you x

love what you say about getting back to who we really are . You are wright , it's not about having so much things, it's just about appreciating the things we already have.
Thanks for your lovely videos.

I wish everybody has a beautiful place like you have. It would be VERY easy to stay relaxed or get inspired if one is living in a calm place surrounded by greenery. It takes strong will power to be able to relax and stay calm in a place that's polluted, noisy, cramped -- everything that's opposite of yours.
so true! the quiet countryside is conducive to a simple life.
