Meditate, Relax & De-stress

Meditation often brings up many images, such as sitting bolt upright with your legs crossed,  fingers making up a circle with each hand resting on each knee, of chanting an affirmation over and over again, or staring at a spot on the wall for hours. Although these ways of meditating are extremely beneficial and involve a form of discipline which forms part of the meditative state, here at Ongoing Support we like to use the ‘flop’ pose to meditate. We will encourage you to form a shape above your chosen beanbag, and then to ‘flop’ down Read the rest of this entry »

Update September

It’s all go here, in fact the phrase running around like headless chickens applies here. We still have a number of finishing touches to do, however the room is almost ready for use.

We had a rather exciting moment on Wednesday when the nine giant beanbags arrived, they were so large that they were split into two deliveries, and their initial storage meant blocking out the light Read the rest of this entry »

Beanbag Heaven

Well we have gone beanbag and colour crazy! Nine beanbags on their way to Ongoing Support from www.jumbobeanbags.co.uk (three blue, three yellow, three pink – we didn’t like the black much!). Now these are not ordinary beanbags, they are HUGE and we are starting to doubt if they will all fit into the new training/group room LOL. I will be taking some video and pictures when they Read the rest of this entry »

Renovation Progress August

Hi all, I thought I would just do a quick check in with our progress. Mark has been very busy during the week, putting in some of the final touches to the fence, he has built a sturdy gate and has finished off the fence. Three quarters of the decking is now laid and once this is completed we will be putting in some fancy decking lights, along with some bright edging around the steps, and putting up some outside lights (no nasty accidents here please). I have started making some bar stools for Read the rest of this entry »

Floors & Fences

Well, we have been very busy for the past couple of weeks. The new floor has been laid by Mark and it looks pretty amazing, lots of fun was had in Child ego state as the floor lended itself to some cool slides from one side if the room to the other, unfortunately my favorite socks have taken a bit of a battering, so a quick return to Adult ego state was needed to avoid a sock spending spree.

Renovation Progress July

We had some disappointing news last week from our plasterer, who won’t be able to plaster until earliest late July, latest September. This means that we have now changed our plans and we are now laying the wood flooring before the training room is plastered. We also have the outside decking area to keep ourselves busy with, which will form part of the therapy centre, creating a space for sitting out in the sun (when it decides to show itself).
