Kindred Being

Kindred Being A facilitator of movement & meditation, a practitioner of herbal medicine, a lover of nature.

As a degree-qualified Clinical Herbalist I am highly trained to combine the traditional wisdom and energetics of plant medicine with the skilled clinical experience of a health practitioner, utilising current scientific research and appropriate medical examinations to validate the prescribed treatment, specific for each individual. The yoga classes I facilitate are inclusive and open to all, regardless of prior experience. I have been teaching in a variety of spaces (studio, corporate, large groups, private) for 8+ years. Overall my approach as a facilitator is grounded, effective and intuitive as I encourage gentle self-enquiry and deep connection to self utilising movement, breath and meditation. Continuing to study and accumulate knowledge of the spiritual, emotional and physiological realms of being human; shedding light on our inherent self-healing capacity and; exploring the prevention of mental and physical dis-ease, I aim to cultivate a safe and nourishing place for personal growth, vitality and well-being.

This meditation is believed to help resist stress, trauma, and illness utilising breath patterning (pranayama) and hand/ finger position (mudra). The combination of these two Yogic techniques done in meditation, accesses the two brain hemispheres and the rest and digest (parasympathetic) state of our nervous system, to bring about balance, endurance and calm.

This is one of the meditations and techniques we will explore in the Yoga Therapy for Chronic Health Conditions 8-week course
https://momence.com/17085/upcoming-events/123279600

Together we’ll create a space where you’ll be guided weekly through gentle movement, meditation, mantra (chanting), and rest to access your inherent wisdom, harness your sense of health and vitality, plus be reminded that your body is a safe place to be in despite your diagnosed condition and symptoms.

The paper provides a compelling conceptual demonstration of how much better the trajectory could be under a whole person paradigm. As a holistic health practitioner grounded in health science, I see Option B as the ethically superior and pragmatically wiser path for healthcare systems, practitioners, and clients alike.

If there is anything I’ve discovered along my journey of wellness and wellbeing, it’s the combination of different methods and modalities to give a well-rounded (holistic) sense of health, healing and balance.

Such a great step forward for Yoga Therapy and Kundalini Yoga ✨
Kundalini Yoga Therapy building on its evidence-based benefits here in Melbourne, Australia.
Facilitated by the skilled and inspirational Siri Bhagvati ~ Billie from Kundalini House - Yoga, Massage and Acupuncture, a friend and mentor 🥰

🌿 Groundbreaking Kundalini Yoga Research Study Begins May 2025 🌿

We’re proud to announce that our very own Siri Bhagvati / Billie Atherstone, faculty member and Kundalini Yoga Therapist, is leading a world-first, NHMRC-funded research study on trauma-responsive Kundalini Yoga for survivors of sexual violence.

This historic project brings together top experts in trauma recovery—including Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa (Harvard Medical School) and Prof. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score)—in partnership with leading universities.

🧘‍♀️ The 12-week program, based at Kundalini House Melbourne, is designed to
support survivors through:

✨ Grounding mudras
✨ Pranayama & kriya
✨ Trauma-informed sequencing
✨ Meditation & mantra
✨ Weekly insights from neuroscience, psychology & yoga therapy

This study is comparing Kundalini Yoga with Cognitive Processing Therapy to explore its potential as a healing modality for complex PTSD.

🙏 A powerful step toward recognizing yoga as a complementary path to trauma recovery, resilience, and reconnection.

An article I just wrote drawing a parallel between Rick Rubin’s creative process and Kundalini Yoga.

"Yoga is not merely a practice of the physical body, it is a way of attuning ourselves to a deep and profound way of being.

What has fascinated me most is how this mystical approach to being doesn’t belong to Yoga alone. I’ve noticed its echoes in places outside the traditional yogic world. I see these currents flowing not only within the walls of the yoga studio, but in conversation, in art, in the restless hum of our modern day. One particular reflection came recently when I began reading Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being. In his view of artistry, I recognised the same principles at work — sensitivity, awareness, attunement to unseen forces — all central elements of the yogic path I have been observing and walking for years.

This realisation inspired in me the deep connection between what we cultivate through yogic practices, and what great artists cultivate through their creative processes, I saw this parallel..."

Words are Vibrations
⚡️
~ currently feeling into the words we speak and our energetic imprint ~ how do I speak to myself and others?

Have you considered the impact that your words and what you say makes on your level of vibration and energy?

In Yogic philosophy, everything in existence is seen as a manifestation of vibratory energy, including thoughts, emotion and words/ speech.

Every word we speak or think about ourselves and others, creates a vibratory imprint that affects our own energy field and the world around us. Each word and our expression of communication carries an energetic frequency that can either uplift or diminish our own consciousness and that of others.

Modern science aligns with this understanding where sound frequencies affect matter, such as in cymatics, where sound vibrations create geometric patterns in physical substances.

The throat area, Vishuddhu, is the fifth energy centre in the chakra system. It is associated with communication, self-expression, truth and sound. When the energy here is open and balanced:
• Words flow effortlessly
• Truth is spoken without fear
• Communication is clear and harmonious

When there is an imbalance or misalignment of the throat chakra, it can manifest as:
• Difficulty in expressing oneself
• Fear of speaking one’s truth
• Gossiping, lying or excessive talking
• Physical symptoms of the area like sore throats, thyroid issue or neck stiffness/ tension

Sat Nam (सत् नाम)is one of the most common mantras we utilise in Kundalini Yoga, which aligns with the throat chakra. It can translate as “Truth is my Identity” and vibrates into the realm of speaking authentically and truthfully.

The throat chakra is the bridge between inner truth and outer expression. Through conscious speech, mantra/ chanting, pranayama and other Yogic practices we can refine our vibratory presence allowing our words to become vehicles of truth, healing and higher consciousness.

I don’t want to keep analysing
I don’t want to be critical of myself or other
I want to be in a neutral mindset whilst enjoying my life day by day
I don’t want to be stuck in a cycle of what’s right and what’s wrong - I don’t want to assume this means that etc.
I want to dwell in my own high vibration, not swayed by what-if or what-should-be
I want to focus on feeling good about myself and my life
I want to remain anchored to my truth, my power, my spirit
I want to show love for myself and be kind to those I cross paths with
I want to wake up happy and excited for the day ahead, and go to bed content and grateful for all that occurred
I want to remain in my radiant body
I don’t want unmet expectations I’ve put on others to control my mood
I want to release the grip on what I can’t control and enjoy making progress on the things I can
I want to rise above the trauma, wounds, triggers and love from a place of calm, openness and peace
I want my friends and family to be healthy and well
I want to keep following my path and remaining curious as to what’s still out there to discover
I want those that are in alignment with my frequency to vibrate here with me
I want to feel the light, and feel the shadows just enough to seek the light again
I don’t want to carry the heaviness of anger, shame, fear, or rejection
I want to live in acceptance of the moment, acceptance of self, unburdened, unshackled, un-afraid
Infinite and intuitive
I want to stay connected to my environment, to nature, to the oneness
I want to surrender to the Divine flow whilst staying committed to my goals and daily practice
I want to taste each flavour, smell each scent, feel the texture, hear the song and see every detail exclaiming wow (Wahay Guru)
I want to be grateful for each sunrise, each choir of bird sound in the morning, acknowledge my body as it moves through the day and connect with my breath and the life force it strengthens me with
I don’t want to waste another day, another night, another moment feeling stuck in a state of constriction, paralysed and confused
I see the great mystery of life before me as a beautiful, beautiful thing to be alive for
For you and for me
