My thoughts on things.
In my blog.

I recently wrote about how I (finally!) listen to the inner voice, the heart whispers, the gut feelings,the body sensations - to guide me with decision making.

We are accustomed to, and probably conditioned to be very cerebral.
And consequently, forget that the heart is all truth and wisdom..
There's a lot of science around this too, notably quantum science. But, I'll leave that for another time, as to write about that gets too cerebral. 😊!

If you resonate with my posts, you might enjoy reading a few blog posts I've written, including about heart vs brain & decision making.

I started to write a little, just to share a little about what percolates in my mind + heart, and wants to be expressed. That's all. Enjoy.

Blog posts about:
A fast.
My personal story with mum.
Touch.
Making decisions.

Just some thoughts, musings, reflections on life, healing and health, spiritual things.

Hello! New date for the Soma Face Therapy workshop!
This is a very intimate, personal, small workshop - just for a few. One spot left.

It's practically a private class!
In a lovely private venue where we not only learn 7 soft tissue techniques for the face - remember you'll be receiving too!

This post shares that, through intentional, mindful, skilled touch techniques on the face, we (the givers) bring out the beauty from within (the receiver), as we touch skin, nerves, access vagal tone (social connection and calm).......sending ripple effects throughout the whole body-mind unit, regulating the nervous system.

As the giver applies the techniques, as the receiver connects with their own heart and loving intention for wellbeing for the receiver - limbic resonance is activated...

Health, beauty and wellness for all.

Let's get back to embodied, healing touch.

Workshop is open to all.
One spot left!

Love to see you.
👉 Sunday Oct 5
👉 Private venue, Vic. 3145
👉 9-5pm
👉 Small group
👉 A$240
flexible payment options.

There is a different pathway between brain + body (nervous system) of which affective, intentional, mindful touch travels on, via an abundance of these sensory nerves on our skin..
These receivers of your touch stimulus, respond with calmness, emotional 'quietness'.

These are just some of what you learn with me.
Hands-on, and with nuggets of deeper knowledge about what you're facilitating with your therapeutic touch - specifically, beautifully, especially, on the face.

Registrations will close soon.
Join me in Melbourne for a 1-day workshop.

"Bio" means life.
Bio pertains to living organisms, to "one's life, course or way of living, lifetime...

I never questioned it growing up.
But, when I think about how obvious it is, it makes me squirm a little.
Antibiotics are against life.

That is not aligned with natural law, with nature, with our essence.

Nature's efforts are always for good, to keep you alive, to protect your vital organs, to initiate or cease body processes for pro-life in one way or another. Nature's efforts is never anti-life.

Yet, we are taught to pop anti-life pills like candy. Why would the body produce phlegm, or pus, or a fever, a scab, or inflammation?
Not for nothing.
It's healing.
And it welcomes intervention from same source - Nature.
Perhaps it's a plant or herb, or sap or solvent from a tree, or nectar from a bee...
All life forms.
Not anti-life.

🌸 Maybe it's because the years are flying by so fast;
🌸 Maybe it's because I'm of mature age;
🌸 Maybe it's because I wish I could give my beloved mother some (more) healing touch on her face;
🌸 Maybe it's because, now that she's gone, I want more than ever to read all the stories her soft lines wanted to say;
🌸 Maybe it's because the older woman, the senior woman, the elder woman faces a sort of invisibility in our culture;
🌸 Maybe it's because I love to bring out the beauty, the care, the love, the deep beauty that is within all of us - no matter the age;
🌸 Maybe it's because the face is sacred, expressive, intimate, private, vulnerable - yet yearns to be noticed and appreciated;
🌸 Maybe it's because, through the face, we have social connection;
🌸 Maybe it's because I love what mature skin says:

"Within this lattice matrix called skin, between the soft lines, there are decades of life experience, all emotions have travelled within these layers, and I am here to radiate the wisdom and beauty from within - out."

Whatever it is, this message feels important, true and I hope it resonates with you too.

I dedicate this post to all the mature, senior, elder women. 💛

Touch is the medicine...

I was reminded of a very personal experience with a family member who was in a chronic state (albeit subtle and in the background) fear and anxiety.

I noticed how profound and deeply calming it was for her when I focused on the face.

The face is intimately connected with the vagus nerve via the facial nerves innervated by the vagus nerve.

What does a loving mother gesture to her child to display affection?
A gentle caress of their face.

What does an anxious or fearful person (or stressed) automatically do to buffer this frazzled state?
A hand on their forehead, or hands on jaw...

When one cries, in shame, in angst, in sorrow....hands over face..

Soothing anxiety and easing into calmness through healing touch is much more than a few massage strokes on the face.
Healing goes deep into the psyche.
Healing goes deep into the nervous system.
Healing is guided through the very powerful parasympathetic, potent long cranial nerve called the vagus nerve - sending branches out into the facial tissues via facial nerves.

Via the face, we transform anxiety into a quiet calmness, and emotional quietness, gently 'massaging' the autonomic nervous system.
.....and the bonus is beautiful radiant, glowing, alive skin that smiles again!

The future is upon us.
Collaboration, co-operation will outshine competition.

All about unity, community and co-operation.

We've been conditioned, programmed and moulded in a way that goes against nature, and against the One Consciousness we all are.

And now, we know and are know-ing different.

Hit the 'like' button if this resonates and reverberates as a beautiful truth and way forward for humanity. 🙌🏼

Why is something so beautiful, simple and healing not be a part of our lives?

I'm talking about Self-Reverence.
We have been conditioned to revere others, for their status, little letters beside their names, white coats or material wealth, books they've authored, mountains they've climbed..

We have not been RE-remembered to revere ourselves. We have not lived in a culture (most, not all) that honours self-reverence.

And now, a strange kind of respect is directed towards technology and dare I say, AI.

No more, I say. Let's celebrate and cultivate and remember Self-Reverence.
To be in awe of oneself. To deeply respect oneself.

As a bodyworker and natural health enthusiast and advocate, I feel embodied as a gateway for invoking this reverence.

When therapeutic touch is given and felt as an act of reverence, deep healing happens. It can't NOT unfold.

Jenny Eleni Soma is more than a practice, or bodywork technique - it is about transmitting, cultivating, nurturing the person so that Self-reverence is awakened.

What are the feminine wisdom years?
It's how I like to reframe, redefine what has become such a loaded, fearful word that is natural part of a woman's life and biology: the unfolding and progression when menstruation ceases.
The wisdom years is not disrespecting or diverting or negating what women may or may not experience.

It's a soft, wise and respectful new term I prefer to use.

This post is about honouring the wisdom years with deep nurture, nourishment, respect, self-love and patience.

That's what I envision for Soma face therapy.

Gentle, yet deeply healing, remedial yet beauty-fying, slow yet rhythmic, physical yet spiritual and emotionally healing, restful yet followed by more energy...

As the body changes, hormones fluctuate, cortisol goes a little haywire, insulin gets stubborn, stress is sensitive – at the same time, beauty now radiates as wisdom and understanding.

The face is where we hold our story, many many years, the wisdom years show up in our face - beauty with wisdom, compassion with many stories to tell.

Soma Face Therapy honours the feminine wisdom years - bringing calm & beauty to the face and... whole body.

Plants are part of the earth.
We are part of the earth.
We are made of the same stuff.
We are of the earth. The earth is of us.
Plants see you.

Plants as medicine.
Plants see you. They know you. They are you. They heal you.

Drugs, they mask.
Drugs mask symptoms.
Symptoms which are your body's attempts to heal, and bring attention.

This post is inspired by the teachings of Barbara Ann Brennan, who believed that one of the most epidemic health problems of the emotional body (second level healing of the different levels of the energy field) is self hatred or low self-esteem.
The task - Barbara says - at hand for healing of the emotional body is to replace negative emotions with positive, loving feelings for all aspects of ourselves.
Even the 'bad' aspects.

The almost-missed part of that statement is "all" ... All aspects of ourselves. This is the key. It's easy to love our perceivable and acceptable 'loveable' aspects of ourselves, perhaps aspects that are pointed out by others. But, quite the task to have loving feelings for our 'shadow/darkes.
