The morning is the most important part of the day. 🌞

It's the beginning of your journey, each and every day.

The quality of your mornings is reflecting the outcomes for the entire day.

If a productive, stress-free, grounded & creative day is what you're seeking, then the way you start your morning is that place you need to look to!

My entire day changed once I stopped doing this:

Scrolling on my phone
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach
Hitting snooze
Rushing out of bed
Straight to the to-do list
Eating breakfast upon waking
Skipping breakfast
Forgetting to hydrate
Not planning for the day
Stressing

What habits do you want to let go of in the morning?

Adopting a daily ritual is truly one of the most nurturing and stabilising choices you can make for yourself.

Here are 6 Ayurvedic morning practices that will help to calm the nervous system & fire up your digestive system.

✨️ Rinse Face & Eyes -

A splash of cool water is soothing and rejuvenating to the face, mouth, and eyes.

It brings a sense of freshness to the body and mind.

✨️ Move Your Body -

Regular exercise, especially yoga, improves circulation, strength, and endurance.

Exercise daily to half of your capacity, which is until sweat forms on the forehead, armpits, and spine.

✨️ Mindfulness Practice -

This can be meditation, pranayama (breath techniques), yoga, journaling, prayer, or other activities that bring well-being to your spirit and mind.

The more you allow for these types of practices, the greater the benefits

Samadhi Oil can help enahance meditation practice by promoting mental clarity, intelligence, and wisdom.

✨️ Self Massage -

This is a profound practice of rejuvenation and loving self-care.

Perform a self-massage with warm cold-pressed black sesame oil or Vata Oil. After 5-20 minutes, rinse the skin with warm water to remove excess oil

This nourishing oil is particularly abundant in minerals such as magnesium and zinc and contains high levels of tryptophan, an amino acid precursor to serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and emotional balance.

✨️ Nasya -

Applying herbal oil to the nasal passages directly soothes the nervous system.

The oils' calming properties ease stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation, while lubrication relieves congestion, aiding in better breathing and increased oxygen.

This practice supports overall nervous system balance and resilience against stressors.

Which morning practice can you add to your routine?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Melissa has an amazing ability to gently but powerfully guide you to the answers that your body holds.”

Racing thoughts and an anxious mind?
Have big emotional reactions to small triggers ?
Constantly feel like you don’t have enough time?
Find it hard to relax?

These are all signs that your nervous system needs a clean out and reset!

Unresolved stress, suppressed emotions, and negative belief patterns can get in your way of finding peace and balance in your life.

As your mind and digestive system are intricately connected, unresolved stress and suppressed emotions can also lead to digestive disturbances such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhoea.

I combine the healing modalities of kinesiology to help unravel subconscious stress blockages and the wisdom of Ayurveda to offer supportive dietary, herbal, and lifestyle tools.

I offer a space that feels safe and supportive and meets you exactly where you are.

In the past, I was scared to process my emotions, especially in the presence of others. I had an irrational fear that if I opened up to my emotions, I would become completely overwhelmed, and I was worried about what others would think. I learnt to suppress and push down my emotions so that I could stay strong and in control.

As I got older, I learnt that actually it was the fear of the fear that was stopping me from processing my emotions. Once I learnt a few tools to help me move through my emotions in a healthy way, I realised it wasn’t hard or scary - and actually I began to enjoy the self exploration and growth that would come with it.

Now, whenever I am faced with an emotional trigger, there is a sense of underlying curiosity and actually a little excitement. It means I get to shed another layer of emotions and false belief systems that are no longer serving serving. Every time I process a layer, I feel lighter, clearer, and more connected within myself.

I hope this cheat sheet for processing emotions will be useful for you, too .

✨️I Swapped "Sorry" for "Thank You," and My Life Changed ✨

Frequent apologies, even when unwarranted, often stem from a subconscious need for reassurance and fear of others' judgments.

We say sorry almost reflexively, maybe to maintain harmony or avoid conflict.

But each unnecessary apology undermines our confidence, as if we're saying, "I'm not really sure about this, so please don't judge me too harshly."

This habit links back to deeper issues like low self-esteem or a fear of rejection, conditioning us to constantly apologize, even for things beyond our control.

Yet, research suggests that resisting this urge can boost self-esteem and make us feel more in control.

So, next time you catch yourself apologizing needlessly, pause. You deserve to be heard, and your opinions matter.

Instead of using apologetic phrases, say things like:

Thank you for waiting for me
Thank you for the invitation
Thank you for helping me out
Thank you for being patient when I make a mistake
Thank you for supporting me

What small habit could you make to your nightly routine? 🌙

15/03/2024

Anxiety is associated with physiological changes in the body, including changes to our breathing style, which becomes fast, short, and shallow in our upper chest.

I have found in clinic that for some clients, getting them to practice deep diaphragmatic breathing actually exacerbates their feelings of anxiety and panic.

If it is not possible to change the breath without increasing the problem. then the next best option is to work with it but transform the meaning.

And this is exactly what heart breathing does. It transforms the energy of anxiety in the chest to that of courage and care, while at the same time, strengthens and nourishes the heart so that you have the courage to face whatever it is that is causing you stress.

14/03/2024

I believe meaning-focused work can be helpful with many issues.

One of the dynamics that present barriers to managing anxiety has to do with focusing on the future or the past, and not being able to stay focused in the present.

If we think about worry, it’s focusing our attention on the future. If we think about rumination, it's focusing our attention on the past. Worry and rumination both take us out of the present.

So, intervening in ways that help people ground themselves in the present moment can reduce anxiety.

That way, we're not living in the future of worry, what's going to happen? Oh, my goodness; or living, ruminating the past, playing over and over in our minds some regretted past situation.

The practice of kinesiology is a great tool to help uncover and shed light on the ‘monsters’ that are hiding in our psyche, and diffuse the associated feelings and negative belief systems that are keeping us trapped in an anxious mindset.

“Melissa is a gifted guide, helping me navigate all the depths of my soul in the most caring, open and intuitive way possible. She really listens and can hear even the subtlest of messages you may not even be aware of. Thank you Melissa for helping me unfold and bring more light into my life!”
