πŸ’« Beyond excited to share! πŸ’« I have been featured in Body + Soul, Australia's number one health and well-being platform.

πŸͺ I had the honour of providing insights for a recent Body + Soul article on the transformative power of Human Design.

Even though Human Design experienced a recent surge in popularity on TikTok, it has been around since 1983.

"Think of it as a user manual to your authentic self, uncovering how you operate, and interact with the world, and what your gifts and talents are. It guides you on how to manoeuvre the world in alignment with your authentic self, reducing the likelihood of burnout."

Here is how the editor concluded the article:

While I can’t possibly detail every aspect of my in-depth reading, It’s safe to say I was fascinated by the entire process. If you’re looking to gain a deeper understanding of your decision-making, emotional responses and relationships with others, Having an expert like Taugs examine your Human Design chart might just be a game-changer.

Make sure you read the full article in Body + Soul and discover your very own Human Design Chart via our website.

Have you uncovered your passion yet?

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of hosting a retreat that was truly special to me - the Equine & Soul Connection Retreat. It's the only one of its kind in Australia, and I felt honoured to be able to bring people together in this way.

When I returned home, I received an email that contained an award nomination. πŸ₯Ή It was a wonderful surprise, and the words in the email made me feel so grateful and proud. The nomination said that I'm passionate about creating retreats that help people find their own passions and that my content is carefully curated to do just that. πŸ™πŸΌ

Watching the transformations that happened at the retreat was an amazing experience. I felt so thankful for the chance to be part of something that can make such a positive difference in people's lives.

It's funny to think that I didn't always know I wanted to do this kind of work. It took some time for me to really connect with myself and figure out what I truly wanted. But now, I feel so lucky to be able to say that this is my purpose. It's not just a job - it's something that brings me a sense of fulfillment and joy that I can't find anywhere else. πŸ₯°

I hope that you've been able to find something that brings you that same sense of purpose and passion. It's an amazing feeling, and I wish it for everyone. πŸ’«

This is one of those heart-touching experiences that everyone should do at least once in their life. Words can’t describe the softness of the connection between participants and the horse as they receive their insights, but once someone's felt it, they'll never be the same again.

In the fast-paced world we live in, it's easy to get swept up in the currents of stress and overwhelm. However, there's a simple yet profoundly effective way to regain your sense of balance and clarity – mindfulness.

By dedicating a mere 5 minutes each day to mindfulness practices, you're granting yourself the power to pause, breathe, and anchor yourself in the present moment.

Studies show that this small commitment can lead to a remarkable 15% reduction in feelings of overwhelm. Imagine the difference this could make in your life – a few minutes of stillness amidst the chaos, a sanctuary of peace in the storm. Embrace the practice of mindfulness and allow it to be your refuge in the midst of life's challenges.

In a world that often seeks external validation, remember that the most genuine and lasting happiness originates from within. 🌼 It's not about chasing after material possessions or relying on others for your joy – it's about cultivating a deep connection with your inner self.

πŸ’– Nurturing your inner world means embracing your strengths, acknowledging your feelings, and finding peace within your own being. It's about treating yourself with kindness, practising self-compassion, and letting your authenticity shine.

🌈 As you embark on your journey to discover your 'inner joy,' you'll find that happiness is a state of mind that you have the power to create. When you prioritize your emotional well-being, you become a beacon of positivity, radiating your light onto everything you do.

is not just a destination; it's a lifelong expedition. Embrace it, cherish it, and share it with the world.

Lunchtime Dilemma: Desk vs. Delight

We are probably all guilty of it. Let's talk about a daily decision we all face: squeezing in lunch at our desks or savouring a proper lunch break.

Desk Dining:
πŸ‘‰ Multi-tasking: Juggling emails, reports, and that sandwich? πŸ₯ͺ It's a skill, but are we really giving our food the attention it deserves?
πŸ‘‰ Time Crunch: Deadlines looming? Devouring lunch while typing might seem efficient, but we could be missing out on some much-needed me-time.
πŸ‘‰ Energy Drain: Staying put can zap our energy. A change of scenery, even for a few minutes, can boost creativity and focus.

Proper Lunch Break:
πŸ‘‰ Mindful Eating: Taking a breather allows us actually to taste our food. Flavours pop, textures shine – it's a feast for the senses!
πŸ‘‰ Social Recharge: Lunch buddies? Sharing stories and laughter over a meal can refresh our minds, making afternoons more productive.
πŸ‘‰ Step Away, Stress Away: Stepping outside or simply away from the screen can reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

So, what's the verdict? While desk lunches might save time, the benefits of a dedicated lunch break are too delicious to ignore. Whether it's a park bench or a cozy cafe, let's make room for a proper lunchtime treat. Your taste buds and brain will thank you!

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to overlook the importance of self-care. But let's remind ourselves that taking care of our well-being isn't a luxury – it's a necessity. Prioritizing self-care doesn't mean we're being self-centred; it means we're investing in our own happiness and resilience.

So, let's commit to carving out moments for ourselves, nurturing our minds, bodies, and souls. When we fill our own cups, we're better equipped to give to others. Let's embrace self-care as a fundamental part of our journey to a more vibrant and fulfilled life.

Let me introduce you to our well-being partner Chris from

Chris has been a performing musician for over 30 years, playing percussion and drums in multiple bands, as well as singing.

He is a certified Sound Therapist who has studied with the Sound Healing Academy (International) in the UK and holds a Practitioner Diploma in Integral Sound Healing Multi Instruments.

He is dedicated to continuing his studies so he can bring all his learning into his practice to create a safe space, and deepen the relaxation experience for all he is blessed to work with.

Chris' passion in Sound Therapy is using traditional Sound Healing instruments, such as Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, drums and grounding instruments. Combined with heart-warming vocals, and modern instruments such as the Handpan to take you to a place of peace, and harmony - far away from the day-to-day stressors and challenges of life.

He uses these instruments to invoke deep relaxation and to encourage his clients own natural healing process.

He creates a soundscape unlike any other you’ve likely heard or experienced.

You can experience Chris’s magical sound bath at our upcoming Mind & Body Connection Retreat at Waverley Estate later in November πŸ™πŸΌ or at one of his other events.

Let's dive a bit deeper as we uncover what happens inside your body during a sound bath and how it can benefit your everyday life.

A sound bath is a therapeutic practice that utilizes various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant tools, to create a soundscape that envelops and resonates within your body. While the experience may differ from person to person, here are some general insights into what happens inside your body during a sound bath:

Deep Relaxation: As the soothing sounds wash over you, your body naturally begins to relax. The vibrations emitted by the instruments stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes a state of deep relaxation. This can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and alleviate muscle tension.

Brainwave Synchronization: Sound baths often induce a meditative state by entraining your brainwaves. The rhythmic patterns and frequencies produced by the instruments can guide your brain into alpha and theta states, which are associated with relaxation, creativity, and enhanced focus. This synchronization can lead to mental clarity and a sense of calm.

Cellular Harmonization: Each cell in our body has its own vibrational frequency. When exposed to the harmonious vibrations of a sound bath, the cells can resonate and align with the external frequencies, promoting a sense of harmony and balance within. This process is often described as "tuning" or "rebalancing" the body on a cellular level.

Energy Balancing: Sound baths can help restore the flow of energy within your body. Just as a musical instrument may go out of tune, our energetic system can become imbalanced due to stress, emotional blockages, or physical ailments. The vibrations emitted during a sound bath can help release stagnant energy and restore the natural energetic flow, leaving you feeling revitalized.

Incorporating sound baths into your wellness routine can be a transformative experience, providing a sanctuary for self-care, healing, and personal growth. So why not treat yourself to a blissful sound bath and unlock the wonders of your inner world?
