Hi guys!!!👋 I’ve missed you! 😘😘😘
Quick update on my incredibly elongated absence from here 🤪
Basically, I was in a really difficult place mentally, for way too long, and ended up moving home to Wagga at the beginning of 2024. I was completely broken and very close to running out of hope 😩
Thankfully I found Zoloft (a low dose, VERY common anti-depressant) and everything slowly improved 🙏🏼
A year and a half later, I’m feeling great ☺️
Last year I taught English to high school refugees, which I ADORED 🥰 And this year, I’m doing learning support at a local primary school.
I get to spend lots of time with my gorgeous niece and nephew and things are good 🙏🏼
I have finally resumed my wellness work by hosting my first Women’s Circle last week. And it felt fabulous ❤️❤️❤️
I’d love you all to come along for the next chapter in this crazy thing we call life, and I sincerely hope you’re all doing great. Let me know! 🙏🏼
Much love, Hayley ### 💖

You want to know what feels amazing? Tuning into the divine mother in you and telling that dear little you, EXACTLY what she needs/needed to hear 🙏🏼 It's really good stuff✨❤️

We get so busy sometimes, so lost in our heads, working and planning and doing, that we forget who the real teachers are!

Kids will show us (if we slow down long enough to REALLY pay attention), what is real in life, what really matters. Things like;

❤️ It is not a race. The present moment is now. Be curious, experience wonder and awe in everything around us, and just be 🙏🏼

❤️ Honesty. Kids will say what they think. They will feel how they feel. They express themselves with no self consciousness!

❤️ Kids don’t judge or hate naturally. They watch, they learn, they help and they love. That is their organic nature.

We are inherently born this way. Let them remind you. Ask them big questions. Show them you know their wise! Because they are! 🙏🏼 Preserve and encourage this perfection as long as you can ❤️

We all know the unbelievable FRUSTRATION of being told to do (or not do) something, while the people telling us are doing that very thing!!! 😡😡😡

We need to MODEL what we want for our kids, not demand it.

✅ Self regulation (breathing before speaking)
✅ Validating emotions (It’s ok you feel that way)
✅ Self care (taking breaks, having quiet time)
✅ Speaking about ourselves and others with kindness and understanding (not putting yourself or others down)
✅ Repair and apologising (I’m sorry about before. I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way)

For the longest time, I’ve been hearing the spiritual teachers talk about this place within. Whether you call it god, the divine, your highest or inner self, the universe, your intuition or your soul, I know it exists. But it took a long time to cultivate, and I am constantly seeking to feel it more fully and with more ease 🙏🏼

When I do reach this place, there is NO doubt that it’s what ‘they’ say. It is true peace. It is reassurance. It is wisdom and knowing. It’s a sanctuary. For the time I’m there, connected, you know without question, this is truth. You feel true safety here. It is a refuge. This is what we’re supposed to be connected to WAY more often 🙌

We are born with this perfect knowing, until slowly over time, we are conditioned to put our faith elsewhere. We are taught to use our minds, not feel into our bodies. We get so disconnected and then wonder why we feel so disillusioned. But it doesn’t have to be that way ☺️

If you want to know this place, it’s up to you to find it. It exists. I assure you of that.

Do you know the place I speak of? 🤔

My Story

Hi! And WELCOME to my page! 🙏 HALF MOON Mindfulness and Meditation for Kids!

My name is Hayley Mckenzie and I began creating HALF MOON at the beginning of 2018. I have been working with children for almost 15 years in a variety of roles including as a Primary School Teacher for 8 years, a Tutor, a Childcare worker, a Babysitter and a Nanny. It's safe to say that I adore kids! 😊

At age 24 I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Since then I have been on an exhaustive journey to find the things that work for me – and believe me, there’s not much I haven’t tried! But quite simply, Mindfulness and Meditation has been the key 🙌

So my mission was clear! Teach little people the most important skill I know - Mindfulness and Meditation! I truly believe it is THE most valuable skill anyone can learn and I would love the opportunity to teach it to the people most important to you.
