#11 Alison Inglis on Buddhism, Massage and Kindness in the 21st Century

One Wild Life Podcast with Abbie Barnes

Alison Inglis has been a college lecturer since 1989 and worked with the Open University, teaching business, management & IT. She has also been a practicing buddist since 2003 and is in training for ordination with the Triratna Western Buddhist order. Like many Buddhists, she wanted to take up holistic therapies to help others and practise kindness & generosity. She also wanted to do something that involved her hands, rather than her brain, to balance out her working life. So in 2004 she was personally trained by Narendra Mehta – called the ‘Guru of the British Indian Head Massage movement’ who had developed a unique technique called Indian Champissage. She then trained further to become an approved tutor in the massage in 2007 and has since been providing treatments to clients and teaching others the technique. She is the only tutor to offer this in Scotland and the North of England.

In this episode we dive into all of this and more, including Alisons journey with OCD and how mindfulness and meditation help her on a day to day basis to stay grounded and live her best life.
