My Preloved Life Blog

My husband died 2 years ago, it was an incredible 46 year romance and getting over his death was a challenge. This blog is all about how I dealt with his death, the strategies I used, the tools I discovered, the opportunities I embraced and the new preloved life I have built. My Blog is divided into Beginnings, Helped Me, Solo Life. and Sixty Days.

NLP training is great way to learn new life strategies. An added bonus for me is that I made some great friends on the training course too.

Elene Marsden Search Inside Yourself SIYLI

Mindfulness and Meditation- The Covid Silver Lining

November 24, 2021 in Solo Life

This Summer I came across a book called Search Inside Yourself, The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness ( and World Peace!) by Chade Meng Tan. This book changed my life. It was so easy to read, I read it twice within just 3 weeks. At the end of the book, I discovered you could take a Search Inside Yourself course and that the organisation, SIYLI was running online Zoom training courses this year, due to the Covid Pandemic. I signed up straight away. The course started on September 16th and was 12 hours long, spread over three 4 hour sessions. The fact that I met over 70 participants from all over the world, added to the charm of this course.

What’s included in a Search Inside Yourself program? Here’s the blurb from their website

“Transformational experiences backed by world experts in neuroscience, mindfulness and emotional intelligence”

And that’s exactly what my experience was. After the second session, I decided to resign from my IT tutor job at the local college because I knew in my heart that wasn’t my path. I completed a value-based exercise and knew straight away I wanted to share the knowledge I’d gained from this course to help other people become more mindful through meditation practices. I felt liberated and scared at the same time. For 4 weeks I’ve been developing a brand new course to share with people who are looking for new ways to cope during Pandemic Lockdowns, 

The course is now ready and I’ve teamed up with Suffolk New College to offer Search Inside Yourself as part of their Leisure Learning programme. The course starts on 24th November and will run for 3 weeks.

I’d love your support.

If this pilot proves successful there will be more events to follow.
