Good morning, beautiful souls. Everything looks purple-pink right now. Must be a special day on the rise.

It is a perfect day to remember to do what matters for you! Find love, receive love, give love, be love.

Take a mindful moment. Do what feels right!

It's all about consent!

Have you ever been in a yoga class and had the teacher come up and 'correct' your alignment?

Or perhaps you have been having a treatment with a therapist who suddenly starts sticking needles into you or putting cups all over your back?

In either situation, had you given consent? Did you and the instructor/therapist have a conversation beforehand about it?

Consent is for every type of relationship you have. Just because you signed your waiver and consent form before you started a class or got on the treatment table doesn't mean your therapist has full consent. Every single time you enter that room, you and your therapist or instructor should have a conversation about what will go on. Even if they need to update during the session.

A simple pause of the treatment, reassess, get permission, and then proceed will only take a minute. It will not interrupt the flow or you Zen. In fact, it will enhance it. No surprises, just permission to change the treatment.

As for in a yoga class, your instructor can do a quick check before class who is open for adjustments (and hopefully explain what that means) or ask before touching you. Again, a simple question will not interrupt your flow.

Feel free to comment or leave your thoughts on consent in the yoga or treatment room below.

Did you know shiatsu is a holistic treatment suitable for everybody?

It is a gentle, effective treatment that works on the root cause of the problems at all levels of being. Shiatsu will relieve physical symptoms such as headache, sciatica, and shoulder and neck pain and is beneficial for many ailments. Working on an energetic and emotional level makes shiatsu an all-around treatment. I love it as both a practitioner and client.

Quite often, I am using shiatsu practices in my daily life, including self-massage techniques.

June is Shiatsu Awareness Month. I would love to share a few things about my journey with this therapy.

I was introduced to shiatsu about 20 years ago while I was an Aikido student.

It took me 10 years before I went back to college and got my Diploma in Shiatsu and Oriental Remedial Therapies.

While i am not actively practising on clients, I am using the principles everyday on myself.

Shiatsu is a therapy that supports individuals in a holistic way, tapping into the root cause of a problem and showing you the pathway to natural healing. It can be used with other forms of therapy or can be used exclusively as a standalone therapy.

If you want to hear anything specific about Shiatsu, let me know, and I will share more about this amazing therapy.

A new day, a new perspective.

Still a beautiful day non-the-less.

Today is a day for affirming the inner work does work! No matter how uncomfortable it can get, just do it!

Life changes so quickly. All we can do is appreciate every moment. Good, bad and all that's in between.

Here is your reminder to be fully present in your day. Stop, breathe, listen, feel, smell and just be there. Fully. With it all. No labels. No judgement.

Thought I would send a huge thank you to everyone who donated to the breast cancer cause I participated in this year.

Unfortunately, with Cyclone Alfie, the Mater Pink Chicks Fun Run was cancelled last weekend. However, I still did my 5km participating in the 'virtual'fun run.

My yoga (and so much more) friend Robyn and I did our little bit this morning. We were dressed in our matching pink shirts and Boobie socks marching through the beautiful nature paths of Narangba.

Thank you to everyone who donated. Your sponsorship will contribute to continued research, genetic testing, and supporting men and women with breast cancer, along with making a difference to their families.

It is a perfect night for moon gazing. And it's a Blood.Moon eclipse tonight.

Who is soaking up the energy? How does it feel for you?
