Happy New Year Aotearoa and Australia!!

🎆 Auckland Welcomes the New Year from the Sky 🎆

As the clock strikes midnight, Auckland City lights up the night with its iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks exploding from the Sky Tower — a tradition watched by millions across New Zealand and around the world. Towering above the CBD, the Sky Tower becomes the heart of the celebration, launching a spectacular 360-degree fireworks display that signals the first major city in the world to welcome the New Year.

The show is paired with dazzling lighting effects on the tower itself, transforming the skyline into a moment of shared excitement and optimism. From the waterfront to surrounding hills, families, friends and visitors gather to count down together, soaking in the electric atmosphere as Auckland steps into a fresh year.

Whether you’re watching from the city streets, the harbour, or from home, it’s a powerful reminder of why Auckland’s New Year celebrations are truly world-class. Here’s to new beginnings, big dreams, and a bright year ahead. ✨

🤌🏻 Get ready for a stunning start to the new year!

🌌 On the night of January 3, the first full moon of the year—the Super Wolf Moon—will dominate the sky.

🌕 This isn’t just any full moon. It’s a Supermoon, meaning our lunar neighbor is near its closest point to Earth (perigee). It will appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter than a micromoon.

🐺 Why the “Wolf Moon”? This name comes from ancient traditions, when the howling of wolves was most piercing during the long, frozen nights of January. While we used to think they howled from hunger, we now know it was often to define territory or coordinate hunts under the bright winter moonlight.

✨ Bonus Sight: Look for a brilliant, jewel-like “star” shining right next to the Moon. That is Jupiter! The King of Planets is nearing its own peak brightness (opposition), making for a dazzling celestial duo you can see with the naked eye.

💛 Happy skygazing

College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CCST)

When we talk about health, most people focus on the physical: posture, digestion, or even stress management. But Cranio-sacral Therapy(CST) invites us to listen more deeply—to the emotional imprints held in the body’s tissues and organs.
Eastern medicine teaches that every organ resonates with specific emotions. CST helps us connect with these subtle patterns and release what’s been held beneath the surface.
Take the lungs, for example: grief and sadness can lodge here, restricting movement and vitality. In a CST session, you might feel a softening in this area—not just physically, but emotionally. The body begins to let go.
Did you know your emotions can deeply impact your organs? 👀
▪️In Chinese medicine, each organ is linked to a core emotion:
🫁 Lungs — Grief and sadness. Unprocessed grief can weaken lung Qi and interrupt the natural rhythm of release.
🫀 Heart — Joy and love. Imbalance here—too much or too little emotion—can cause inner dissonance.
⚡️ Liver — Anger and frustration. Held anger can stagnate liver Qi, affecting both emotional and physical flow.
🤒 Spleen — Worry and overthinking. Chronic worry depletes energy and can show up as fatigue or digestive issues.
⚠️ Kidneys — Fear and anxiety. Fear drains kidney Qi, reducing resilience and grounding.
In Cranio-sacral Therapy, we gently contact the body’s intelligence, offering it the chance to release what it no longer needs—physically, emotionally, and energetically.
So if you’re feeling tightness, fatigue, or imbalance, it may not just be structural. Ask yourself:
What emotion might this area be holding onto?

Study Highlights the Real-World Impact of CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

A large prospective cohort study examined how CST is used in real-world primary care—and the results are inspiring.

✅ CST is being used safely and effectively across all age groups—from infants to adults
✅ Patients reported reduced pain, better function, improved sleep, and emotional wellbeing
