Isolation is something that is currently affecting many of us across the UK and even the world. With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, a new and unprecedented way of living has become our reality. The unfamiliarity, uncertainty and fear has become persistent in our day-to-day lives which can often lead to feelings of anxiety and stress. Here at Mauli we want to do everything we can to help you decompress, feel soothed and reassured through this turbulent time. 


To help you ground yourself and pass your time in isolation in a productive way, we have created a collection of mindful activities to help you through...


Mindful activities to do in isolation

1. Practice Yoga

Yoga is the ideal mindful activity for you to do whilst insolating. Whether you are a complete yoga newbie or an experienced professional, fitting yoga into your daily routine will keep you fit, give you the chance to centre your thoughts and focus on you. Using our At Home Yoga Set you can create a calming, therapeutic atmosphere. Light our Sundaram & Silence Essential Oil Candle and cast a calming, flickering light across your space. Breathe deeply and inhale the comforting scents as you spray your yoga matt with our Devotion pure steam distilled rose water. As you work through your moves, the scent of the mist and candle will be released, washing a sense of calm over your mind and body. Finish off your yoga routine by massaging our Surrender body oil into your skin to ease achy bones and soothe sore muscles.

2. Self-Massage

Nothing quite says self-love like a self-massage. With the fear and stress of the current situation weighing down on us, our skin can bear the brunt of our emotions, often feeling puffy, dull and dehydrated. Using our hand-crafted Anti-Ageing Skin Massage Tool, gently massage the soft wooden dome into your skin for 3-5 minutes with the help of our Supreme Skin Face Serum. As you massage your skin with the smooth dome, layered with 16 rejuvenating botanicals, water retention will drain away and your skin will be left feeling toned, sculpted, rehydrated, lifted and glowing.

 

3. Therapeutic Rescue Kit

Here at Mauli we know that during tough times you need both physical and emotional support. To help lift your mood, and support your body’s functions we have created unique Therapeutic Rescue Kits. In your kit you will receive an Organic Booster supplement, Body Oil and Herbal Infused tea to tend to your specific needs inside and out. Our Immune System Support Kit is designed to lift feelings of sadness, nourish the skin and boost immunity, whilst our Hormonal Balance Support Kit is created to balance hormones, calm the mind and soothe inflamed skin. Lastly, our Gut Health Support Kit will ease anxiety, support good gut health and relax aching bones. 

 

4. Have a Himalayan Salt Bath

Himalayan salts are not only known for their physical benefits, skin calming properties and pain relief, but also for its soothing and calming effect. Running yourself a warm bath infused with Himalayan salts is one of the best ways to slow down, calm your mind and spoil your senses.

5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Mindfulness is often the hardest to achieve at night. As we lay in bed with our eyes closed, willing ourselves to go to sleep, nervous thoughts and anxiety can be our worst enemy. Here at Mauli we understand that sleep is a vital part of ‘Dharma’ which is the art of living well. Combining natures natural sleep remedies; sweet almond, clary sage, vetiver, chamomile, lavender, bergamot and marjoram, our Sleep Dharma Pillow Mist will release its soothing scent as you warm up your pillow, right when and where you need it most.
