In my upcoming workshop, I will teach you breathing techniques, that include the stimulation of acupressure points that powerfully release blocked and heavy emotions that have been stubbornly stored in the body.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The power of the breath is miraculous!

I can’t wait to share and see your beautiful faces next Sunday, in Melbourne.🦋

Pause.

A temporary stopping or slowing down, in order to rest, reflect, regroup.

This world has been and continues to be a “heavy” place, and just as a marathon runner must pace themselves for the longevity of finishing their race, we also need to pace ourselves to sustain our energy over the lifetime.

Pausing regularly can help prevent burnout and compassion fatigue.
Note to all the fellow people-helping professionals out there – therapists, social workers, medical personnel; as well as mothers, and caregivers, though you may have super-power skills in attending to the needs of others in their most needed and painful moments, you...are...still...human.

Fill your cup!

What we are currently loving 🍵

Photos from The House of Life's post 03/07/2024

If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman.

Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel.

Love her through her fear of abandonment
which she has been holding for all of humanity.
No, the wound is not hers to heal alone.
No, she is not weak in her codependence.

If you want to change the world… love a woman
all the way through
until she believes you,
until her instincts, her visions, her voice, her art, her passion,
her wildness have returned to her-
until she is a force of love more powerful
than all the political media demons who seek to devalue and destroy her.

If you want to change the world,
lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs.
Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger
and love a woman…
beyond all of your striving for greatness,
beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment.
The holy grail stands before you
if you would only take her in your arms
and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy.

If you want to change the world…love a woman
to the depths of your shadow,
to the highest reaches of your Being,
back to the Garden where you first met her,
to the gateway of the rainbow realm
where you walk through together as Light as

One,
to the point of no return,
to the ends and the beginning of a new Earth.

I release my partner from the obligation to complete me.

I release my parents from the feeling they failed with me.

I release my children from the need to bring me pride, so they can write their own paths to the rhythm of their hearts, as it whispers in their ear.

I don’t lack anything, I learn from all beings, all the time.

Thanking my grandparents and ancestors who came together to allow me to be alive and follow my path today.
I release them from past failures and unfulfilled desires, knowing they have done their best to travel their way of living with their standard of consciousness.

I strip my soul before their eyes that’s why they know I don’t hide or owe anything.

I must be faithful to myself more than ever by walking with heart wisdom, I know that I am fulfilling my life project, free from family loyalties that can disrupt my peace and happiness, this detachment is my responsibility.

I surrender the role of the savior, to be the one who unites or meets the expectations of others.

I cherish my essence, my way of expressing it, even if not everyone can understand me.

I honor you, I love you and recognize you innocent.

I honor the divinity in me and you...

We are free.

The long nights of winter naturally encourage introspection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Evening tea rituals provide a dedicated time to reflect on the day, process emotions, and contemplate personal growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This can lead to deeper self-understanding and spiritual development.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t avoid or try to distract yourself from the stillness of winter. It is such a wonderful opportunity to know yourself better, and develop the intuitive capacity to work out what it is that you really need to do for your greatest good. 🙏🏻

Winter nourishment 💫

Cauliflower is high in choline, an essential nutrient that many people don’t consume enough of.

It plays a major role in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, synthesizing DNA, and supporting metabolism.

Choline is also involved in brain development and the production of neurotransmitters that are necessary for a healthy nervous system. What’s more, it helps prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the liver.💫

Some studies suggest choline deficiency may increase the risk of liver disease and neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s.

Bon appétit

The yin-yang approach views mental health as a process of finding a balance between the positive and negative expressions of life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On an individual level, a harmony between Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine qualities is essential for maintaining emotional equilibrium.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember that these elements are both equal and dependent upon one another. Being stuck in one state or favouring one over another is a sign of imbalance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The well-being of individuals, societies, and cultures hinges on the delicate balance and harmonious flow of mental, emotional, and physical health. Achieving this equilibrium not only promotes personal wellness but also cultivates a thriving, resilient community, benefiting all facets of life.

We would love to see a world where PEACE reigns.

A world where the highest achievement is a testament to your goodness and reverence for the miracle of Life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BE a Peaceful Warrior and be part of the NEW Earth.

Self care is also:

Not arguing with people who are committed to misunderstand you;

Not trying to change people by lowering your frequency to meet them on their level.

The further we are on our path, the more we can look back and see it was perfect for what we needed to learn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, although we might harbour feelings of disappointment and regret over certain circumstances; the bigger picture will reveal the gift that is born out of suffering…

Every experience carries a sacred offering.

When was the last time you thought about cleaning and clearing your energetic field? ⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have been following me for a while you know how passionate I am about this subject.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being extremely sensitive, from a very young age, to other people’s and external energy in general, I can tell you it is of upmost importance that you become more aware of the subtle and yet cumulative effect of negative energy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Regular cleansing is a MUST if you interact with a lot of people, if you work in environments where there is a lot of trauma (and drama), if you are around people who argue, if you are an empath..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know if you would like to learn more..🪷

Stress hormones, primarily cortisol and adrenaline, rise in response to various stressors, which can be physical, emotional, or environmental.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When elevated, these hormones, accelerate aging by causing cellular damage through oxidative stress, shortening telomeres, and promoting chronic inflammation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They also suppress the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections, and accelerate skin aging by breaking down collagen and elastin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Additionally, high cortisol levels affect metabolism, increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, and impair brain function, leading to cognitive decline. 🧠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Effective stress management is key, if you want to feel good and protect your body from degeneration.💫🤓

At the end of life, what really matters is not what we bought but what we built; not what we got but what we shared; not our competence but our character; not our success but our significance.

Live a life that matters.

Marcus Aurelius, has been my favourite, for a long time now.

“We speak of the sun’s light as “pouring down on us,” as “pouring over us” in all directions. Yet it’s never poured out. Because it doesn’t really pour; it extends. Its beams get their name from their extension.”

“The sun touches upon things lightly and illuminates them, without being contaminated by them.”

“For what doesn’t welcome the light condemns itself to darkness.”

In other words, just as sunlight softly and evenly lights up everything without causing harm or disappearing, our efforts or actions should be consistent and gentle rather than forceful or fleeting.

And when our thought comes into contact with a disturbance, try not to fight it, but also do not block it.
If you block the space behind yourself, you cast a shadow and therefore create darkness.

Keep your face to the sunshine..☀️

The Chinese Body Clock, also known as the “Chinese Organ Clock” or “Horary Clock,” is a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that describes the flow of energy, or “Qi,” through different organs of the body over a 24-hour cycle. According to this, each organ has a two-hour period during which it is most active and can perform its functions optimally.

As a practitioner, it gives me clues, when a patient exhibits certain signs and symptoms during a particular time of the day, that can confirm the diagnosis and enable me to target the healing to the specific organ.

I have found it to be incredibly accurate!!

For more info check out my article for the Body and Soul publication that I did a while ago. Find it on our website under “In the press”..☯️

Cupping, one of my patients favourite techniques, involves attaching a small glass cup to the skin by creating a vacuum.  This suction action allows blood flow to the area and is effective at relieving muscular tension, pain and swelling.  This is a great treatment for neck, back and shoulder pain, as well as greatly beneficial at the early stages of a cold 🍵
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are some of the other benefits of cupping?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💫 Releases Toxins: By improving circulation to the area, this helps the body to flush out toxins through the lymphatic system, which is largely connected to the immune system.  The increased flow of blood & lymph moves toxins away to the filtering organs (liver & kidneys) for excretion out of the body.  Improved circulation throughout the body helps us to heal by repairing the cells, excreting toxins and relaxing muscles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💪 Reduces muscular tension: Cupping is known to help relax muscle knots and alleviate tension which can cause pain and impede range of motion.  It also helps to speed recovery and keep the muscles energised after periods of fatigue or strain.  This makes it a very popular practice amongst elite athlete’s, where you may have noticed the circular markings which are often left by the therapy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💆‍♀️Relieves Chronic Pain:  Many patients who suffer with chronic and debilitating conditions such as osteoarthritis, or neck and back pain, report measurable decreases in pain after undergoing cupping therapy. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👃Clears Congestion and Relieves Asthma:  For thousands of years this technique has been recommended by TCM practitioners for treatment of coughs, congestion and impaired breathing.  The suction and increased blood flow and circulation helps to loosen congestion in the lungs and entire respiratory system, which helps patients to breathe easier.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you would like to try cupping, please reach out to schedule a booking ✨

Our magical bodies

According to Quantum Physics, we are only .00001% matter and the remaining 99.9999% consists of energy. We live in an energetic Universe. Everything is made up of energy. The only difference between you and the device you’re reading this on is the frequency with which each is vibrating. And all of that energy has awareness.

You become a master of life when you learn how to control where your attention goes. Therefore be very discerning about what you give your energy and time to.

Your energy is the most precious gift you have.

It is easy to fixate on something that someone has.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we allow comparison to enter our lives, we subconsciously admit that what we have isn’t enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You could be infatuated by accounts you follow on social media. At first, it may seem harmless but after a certain point, the longer follow them, the more stuff you will think you need and the less you will be content with what YOU have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, you allow comparison to not only steal your joy, but to also replace it with jealousy, low self esteem, depression and negative feelings towards others and life in general.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A formula for inner peace is this:
Stay in your lane, focus more on what brings YOU real joy rather than what other people are projecting and always stay humble.

Amidst the busyness of Life, it is vital to ground and come back to center.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May the following quote bring you back into the present moment. 🙏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“A quiet mind, undistorted by desires and fears, free from ideas and opinions, clear on all the levels, is needed to reflect the reality.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be clear and quiet—alert and detached, all else will happen by itself.”
