The bizarre hack that could help you stay calm on your wedding day... Raisin meditation

With winter wedding season in full flow, there’s no doubt that the most amazing day of your life can also be the most stressful. Not only do you want to look your most fabulous and host an “Instagram-worthy” event, disagreements with your parents and in-laws, and panicking about whether you might trip over as you walk down the aisle (graceful as always), there is no doubt it can push you to the edge.

The answer? A raisin. 

Psychological health expert at AXA PPP healthcare, Eugene Farrell, explains why raisin meditation is the mindfulness exercise you need to know about to help keep you calm on your big day.

Mini-Moon Breaks to Relax and Rejuvenate. Your wedding day is the most special day of your life. But let’s face it, it can be tiring! It’s a big day for everyone involved and when the lights have gone down and the last of your guests has boogied their way off the dance floor, you’ll be ready for some downtime.

The New Forest offers the perfect retreat for newlyweds. Just a 90 minute train journey from central London, the New Forest is the ideal minimoon location, where you can relax, rejuvenate and spend some quality time with your new husband/wife.

Of course, no honeymoon is complete without somewhere gorgeous to stay. A keen favourite with mini-mooners visiting the New Forest is Beaulieu River View.
