Tonight, we’ll be learning a gentle meditation designed to calm your central nervous system and bring balance back to your mind and body.

You've already done the work—journaling, meditating, repeating affirmations—but sometimes, it still feels like something's stuck. Like your body is bracing for impact, even when everything seems okay.

Trauma and challenge imprints on your nervous system. That knot in your stomach, the sudden wave of panic, the urge to shut down or disappear, these are your body’s ways of protecting you, the only way it knows how.

Tonights meditation technique goes beyond just changing thoughts. It speaks the language of the body, offering guided exercises to help you release stored trauma, restore regulation, and cultivate a felt sense of safety from within. It will help you gently reconnect with your body, soothe your nervous system, and foster a sense of calm and safety. No force needed—just your willingness to listen and be present.

🌿 Eazzy Slim Presents: The Trauma-Informed Emotional Balance Series 🌿
"Your Body Is Not the Enemy, It's Your Home."

If you've experienced body violation, whether through abuse, neglect, or unwanted attention, your body may feel like a battlefield, and weight, a silent protector.
But you deserve peace, not punishment.

Lasting wellness is not about shaming, starving, or "fixing" your body. It’s about healing, safety, and emotional balance.

💛 This series is not a weight loss bootcamp. It’s a gentle, trauma-informed journey toward reconnecting with your body in safety and trust, on your own terms.

🔸 What You’ll Experience:

Grounding practices to feel safe in your body again

Guided emotional release for stored trauma and protective weight

Non-judgmental support in restoring emotional eating patterns

Tools to gently reclaim power over your body, your hunger, your voice

✨ This is your invitation to:

Stop fighting your body and start listening to it

Uncover the emotional roots beneath weight and disconnection

Feel lighter emotionally, and maybe physically, without force

👣 Begin where you are. Come as you are. You are not broken. You are healing.

🕊️ Eazzy Slim’s Emotional Balance Series is for anyone whose body story includes pain, protection, and the desire to feel whole again. https://link.msgsndr.com/sp/eeef9dca52e

In this session, we’ll explore how to develop a consistent meditation routine that sticks, focusing on practical tips and gentle guidance. We’ll start with a brief introduction and an easy stretch to get comfortable.

This week’s practice will include:
✨ A guided session on Seven Point Posture meditation, where we’ll focus on breathing and attention on seven key points of the body, legs, back, arms, hands, neck, jaw, and eyes, using counting to deepen focus.
✨ An introduction to Walking Meditation, a mindful movement practice perfect for those who find sitting still challenging. We’ll concentrate on the journey, not the destination, embracing movement as a form of meditation.

Key topics we’ll cover:
How long it takes to form a new habit (roughly 21 days or more!)
The importance of consistency and sticking with a meditation style that works for you—whether it’s the same every day or varied to stay motivated
Different styles of meditation: mindfulness, concentration, insight, and movement
Tips to avoid self-criticism and embrace meditation as a lifelong practice
The subtle, gradual benefits that come with regular practice—sometimes noticed by others before you realise it yourself

We’ll conclude with an opportunity to share experiences, ask questions, and set a weekly challenge. Making a verbal commitment helps build accountability and keeps us on track.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned meditator, this session is a wonderful chance to deepen your practice and make meditation a joyful, healthy habit.

See you Thursday at 6:30 PM! 🌿🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

🌿 Why Can't You Stay Consistent? Here's the Real Reason – and How to Fix It.

Let’s be honest:
You know consistency is key.
You try to stay on track.
But somehow, it just keeps slipping through your fingers.

It’s not laziness.
It’s not lack of willpower.
It’s deeper than that.

👇 Here’s what might really be going on:
✨ 1. Self-Doubt & Negative Self-Talk
You're not broken — but your inner voice might be. That constant mental chatter telling you you're not good enough? It's not even yours. It’s conditioning. Trauma. Old programming.

💡 That’s why our Hypno-No-Jab programme uses subconscious reprogramming through hypnotherapy and placebo science to radically shift how you relate to food, exercise, and yourself.

✨ 2. Focusing Only on the Outcome
You're laser-focused on that number on the scale — but progress doesn’t happen when you’re obsessing over the end goal.

💡 My Trauma-Informed Emotional Balance programme helps you rebuild trust with your body after violation, shame, or painful experiences. It’s not just about the weight — it’s about healing the why behind it.

✨ 3. Relying on Motivation Instead of Rewiring Discipline
Motivation fades. Trauma and body betrayal memories sabotage even the best plans. That’s why discipline has to be internal, safe, and trauma-informed.

Both programmes work with your nervous system, not against it.

🌿 Guided Minds: A 12-Month Meditation Journey Create calm, clarity & connection—one month at a time. Guided Minds is a year-long meditation programme designed to help you build a sustainable, enriching practice through monthly themes, supportive sessions, and practical tools for real life. Whet...

07/07/2025

This Thursday at 6:30 PM, the focus of the class is on building meditation into a sustainable daily habit. The session is part of July’s theme: “Making Meditation a Healthy Habit”, and is designed to help you integrate meditation into everyday life in a simple, realistic, and rewarding way.

You’ll begin with a 3-minute gentle seated stretch to release tension, improve posture, and calm the mind. This physical preparation supports the deeper work of meditation by grounding the body and inviting a sense of ease. From there, the session will explore why forming a habit of meditation matters, not just for relaxation, but for cultivating mental clarity, emotional resilience, and deeper self-awareness.

Practical strategies for habit-building will be shared, such as starting small (even just two minutes a day), using the RPM method (Rise, P*e, Meditate), and leveraging tools like meditation timers and apps. You’ll also be introduced to the Qi Clock, a traditional Chinese Medicine concept that maps the body’s energy rhythms and can be used to align your meditation practice with your natural flow.

Two key practices will be explored: the 7-Point Meditation Posture, a foundational body-based method for supporting deep awareness, and "Naming a Thought", a technique from Burmese mindfulness traditions that helps bring clarity to mental activity by gently labeling thoughts in time with the breath. The class will end with group sharing and a personal challenge, encouraging each participant to make a verbal commitment to their practice for the week ahead. https://the-northern-college-of-clinical-hypnotherapy.cademy.io/guided-minds-meditation-programme
