🌕FULL MOON WOMENS CIRCLE 🌕

Women have been gathering in circles since the beginning of time, to share experiences, stories, ideas and prayers.

This creates a space that allows us to feel safe to come just as we are, to be our true selves.
A space to hear other's stories, and realise we are not alone.
A space to connect.
This is our Sacred Space.

Our Women's Circle offers a safe and gentle space for women of all ages and backgrounds to come together and share.

We will be doing Sacred work - letting go of what no longer serves, acknowledging what does, discussing the power of Yin and the moon's cycles, and sharing tea.

If this calls you, give yourself permission to join us, Beautiful ❤️

LIMITED SPACES
5th October • 7:30pm
The Loft, Nimbus • Bondi Beach

Breathing. Relevant to every single one of us and clearly one of THE most important things we do.

Breathing impacts how we feel on a daily basis, and not just physically but it can effect us emotionally too. Check out my blog on the 'Top 20 Physical & Emotional Signs You May Not Be Breathing Well'.

3 Easy Tips to STAYING PRESENT

>> Do you ever arrive somewhere, whether driving or on foot, and realise you were on auto-pilot the whole time?

>> Do you get to the end of the day and wonder where the time went? Or maybe, for you, Friday seems to hit you in the face, and just as quickly it is Sunday night and the next week is about to start again?

>> Do you just feel a general feeling of rushing from one thing to another?

These are common experiences, and stress is something I work with most of my clients on. Time appears to speed up when we are juggling a lot, and let’s face it, who’s modern day life isn’t filled to the brim? That’s not about to change any time soon, so the question becomes…

Can we ACTUALLY change our brain to respond in a better way to stress?

And the answer is, yes! And it has been proven.

A recent Harvard Business Review article (link in next post) outlines how mindfulness practices enhance our ability to embrace change and manage stress. There are SO MANY benefits to practicing being present in our everyday lives.

SO, here are 3 EASY tips to staying present throughout your day:

1. BREATHE: diaphragmatic breathing is a great way to bring yourself into the present moment, because your attention is solely within your body, it removes the space for errant thoughts.
>> How to: Place one hand on your chest, the other on your belly. Breathe through your nose down into your belly, feeling how the breath moves the hand resting on your abdomen. Repeat 10 times.

2. SENSES: as soon as you are giving all of your attention to your hearing/sight/taste etc, you are unable to be focussed outside of yourself on unnecessary thoughts.
>> How to: Put a 5min timer on your phone right now. Bring all of your attention to the various sounds you can hear right now - both close and far away. And observe. Be curious and open to the variety of sounds around you right now.

OR Bring all of your attention to your feet in your shoes, notice how each of your toes feel.

3. REMINDERS: It can be difficult to remember to do these kinds of things sometimes, so set yourself reminders that will work for YOU. Whether they are sticky notes on your wall, a picture on your desktop, OR an alarm on your phone. Do what works for you.

Staying in the present moment takes practice, and these tips can assist in keeping you on track and working with purpose.
If you feel you could benefit from a deeper dive to alleviate some of that stress, I would love to work with you in a Mind Body Medicine & Kinesiology session – call 83571851 to book your initial.
