Relaxing deeply is not just a physical process, but also a loosening up of thoughts; a kind of quiet and gentle concentration that focuses the mind on pleasant things. Here’s a script I use when I want to relax. If you try it, I recommend getting someone with a soothing voice to record it for you, speaking quietly and slowly. When you wish to listen, sit somewhere peaceful where you will not be disturbed.

On Friday 15 November Kilby Get To Know Your Neighbours held their annual skittles night at The Conservative Club in Wigston. Thirty people enjoyed a very lively evening. Thanks go to Kathy Kilsby for organising the event and everyone who helped on the night. A raffle raised £82 which was given to Kilby Woodland Trust. The winner of the men’s team was Peter Parsons and Kathy Kilsby had the highest score on the lady’s team.
