This week we used the yoga practice to connect to the Ocean Healing Qualities of Joy and Play.

Whether we find joy in the sea’s spacious beauty, in its calls to playfulness, connection, freedom, faith or belonging, or in the exhilarating vitality of our own survival, the sea reminds us to pursue what lights us up.

The sea beckons to joyful children, ageless in the water. It is a gleeful promise of unconstrained fun, free of self-consciousness and judgement. Embracing play, we reject limits, open up to the new, learn and grow.

We used the yoga practice to move our bodies in a way that brings us joy, that lights us up, that lets go of inhibitions and preconceived outcomes. Seeking out fun and connection, allowing our pleasure to be easy, our smiles to be wide and our laughter fulsome. Allowing joy to cast ripples of dancing light. 🌞

You will come across people
who push you
to give more than what you have.

It’s okay to step back.
Let go of the guilt
shaped by the expectations of others.

Find the rhythm
that protects your inner peace.

Ngā mihi

☀️ gentle sun salutations to the Solstice Sun as she sets.
☀️meditation and ceremonial cacao with raw honey and wild orange essential oil.

This week for mental health awareness week I have shared a blog every day on some of the practices that work for me to manage my own mental and physical health holistically. I share my ongoing journey with my clients but also draw upon their unique experiences. At Turning Tide Wellness studio, we learn to check in with ourselves and our loved ones regularly and empower ourselves to maintain balance and harmony in our mental and physical wellbeing. I’m continuously furthering my qualifications to educate and inform myself which in turn enables me to guide my clients to the best of my ability. However, there is nothing like the university of life and what I’m finding every single day is that we are all learning together, sharing stories and experiences, inspiring, motivating and supporting each other. Creating Turning Tide Wellness studio has been both humbling and empowering. A place where we can come as we are, looking out for each other, respecting each other, learning to navigate life through the ebbs and the flows – always knowing that the Tide is Turning – we just need to develop the toolkit to ride the waves of life. Because, if my dad had a safe haven like Turning Tide Wellness available to him in his moments of darkness, he would have still been with us today. ( back story in comments)

The world is full of sounds – some are soothing, while others can be overwhelming. From the tranquil rush of a waterfall to the cacophony of urban traffic, the noises around you can shape your mental and emotional well-being.

Sounds profoundly impact your mood. Beneficial sounds can reduce your anxiety, promote relaxation, and even enhance your focus. On the other hand, harsh or discordant noises can increase stress, irritability, and fatigue. Intentionally surrounding yourself with calming and therapeutic sounds is one way to tap into the mind-body connection.

Nature offers a rich tapestry of sounds that have proven to enhance mental health.
1. Birdsong: Birds’ gentle chirping can reduce stress and promote feelings of safety and serenity.
2. Waves crashing on the shore: The rhythmic ebb and flow of ocean waves induces a meditative state, calming your mind and grounding your spirit.
3. Waterfalls: The continuous, soothing sound of cascading water can drown out intrusive thoughts and create a sense of inner peace.
4. Rainfall: Use the steady patter of rain to relax, ease tension, and fall asleep sooner.
5. Rustling leaves: The soft rustle of wind through trees evokes a sense of connection to nature and fosters mindfulness.

Using nature’s sounds as a backdrop for mindfulness can deepen your practice and enhance its benefits.
Here are a few ways to incorporate sound healing into your routine:
• Meditation sessions: Play recordings of ocean waves, birds, or rainfall during your meditation to focus your mind and enhance relaxation.
• Nature walks: Take a walk outdoors and deliberately tune in to the sounds around you. Focus on the nuances of each noise and how it makes you feel.
• Guided sound therapy: Sound therapists use natural sounds or instruments like Tibetan singing bowls to guide participants into a profoundly relaxed state.

Ceremonial cacao is more than just a delicious drink—it’s a powerful plant medicine that has been used for centuries to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unlike processed chocolate, ceremonial cacao is minimally processed, preserving its natural compounds, vitamins, and antioxidants. These components not only promote a sense of emotional and spiritual connection but also offer a range of health benefits that support overall wellness.

In today’s blog post for mental health awareness week, we explore the health benefits of ceremonial cacao, from boosting mental clarity and mood to supporting heart health and reducing stress. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to cacao ceremonies, understanding the physical and mental benefits of cacao will deepen your appreciation for this sacred plant and its role in holistic health.

With warmer weather and longer days many people are heading outdoors for a swim in the sea, lochs, rivers or open‑air pools.  For me, cold‑water swimming isn’t just a fun activity, it’s an essential part of how I care for my mental wellbeing.

I absolutely love swimming in the sea and lochs. I’m lucky enough to live near the coast, so the sea is a constant in my life. It’s where I go to reset, reconnect with myself and feel grounded again. When I’m away from home, I always look for water, a river, a lake, a stretch of shoreline, anywhere I can find that same sense of calm and clarity.

There’s something about cold water that soothes my nervous system and brings me right back into my body. It’s not only refreshing, I find it genuinely healing. These benefits reach far beyond personal experience, offering measurable gains for mental and physical health. Head to the blog on my website for mental health awareness week where I discuss six reasons why I believe cold water swimming is so beneficial for both your mental and physical health.

Mental health is an essential aspect of overall well-being, yet many people struggle with stress, anxiety, mood swings, or sleep challenges. While professional support is crucial, incorporating natural solutions into your routine can make a significant difference. doTERRA essential oils are a safe, effective way to support mental health by promoting relaxation, emotional balance, and focus.

Essential oils work through the olfactory system, directly affecting the limbic system in the brain, which controls emotions, memories, and mood. Their natural properties can:
🌱Reduce Stress: Certain oils have calming effects that help manage feelings of stress or overwhelm.
🌱Enhance Focus and Clarity: Some oils energize and improve cognitive function, making it easier to stay productive.
🌱Promote Emotional Balance: Essential oils can support a sense of calm during emotional distress.
🌱Improve Sleep Quality: Relaxing oils help ease the transition into restful sleep, which is essential for mental health.

Head to our website to read the full blog on how these oils can enhance mental well-being and how to use them effectively.

If you would like to learn more about how to use these gifts from the Earth to support the physical and emotional health of yourself and your loved ones, please contact me via WhatsApp 07545400015 or beandri@turningtidewellness.com for a 1:1 coaching session or a group workshop. 🪷💜
