Oh for a moment of calm to just sit, listen, breathe and reconnect. Know that feeling? Then why not join us?

We've decided to make a New Year 'be kind to ourselves' commitment and take just ten minutes each day to meditate. If you're thinking mantra chanting hippy-style in a cross-legged position, think again. Meditation is the modern life 'survival' technique for millions including Gisele Bundchen, Daisy Lowe and Katy Perry, who swear by its calming, restorative results. In fact the science pros have proven regular mediation reduces cortisol production, the brain's stress hormone.

To help us make the space and time we've downloaded Headspace.com - the free meditation and mindfulness app. Yes, we know non-stop digital interruptions are half the problem, but believe us this is different. With ten introductory, 10-minute guided meditations to listen and breathe to, all we need to do is plug in and spritz on our Aveda Chakra ™ Balancing Body Mist.

The seven different sprays represent the seven energy centres in the body (know as Chakras in Ayurvedic practice) and the specially formulated, soul-soothing aromas help to restore your sense of balance and well-being. And, if you want to experience the ultimate mind and body energy alignment, Aveda salons offer a Chakra Balancing Massage treatment in their spa locations (find your nearest www.aveda.co.uk)

So here's to a truly happy and stress-free New Year.
