Feeling SO happy, grateful and blessed after today’s class.. early birthday balloons 🎈brunch 😋gifts 🎁and beautiful hugs from these divine angels! 🤗✨

💫Crystal healing bowl sound bath 💫

Have you ever tried a sound bath meditation session?

The first time I enjoyed a sound bath was around 20 years ago! The profound experience of deep relaxation and feeling bodiless was truly magical! I went onto explore sound therapy and started my collection slowly, purchasing these beauties 🤍

Here are some questions that are frequently asked about the sound bath meditation sessions

💫 What do I do as the participant in these session?
Simply lay down…get comfy…warm..close your eyes, listen to the sounds and relax

💫 What are the benefits of these sessions?
Crystal healing bowls can synchronize brain wave frequencies, encouraging deep relaxation and a tranquil mind, which may ease anxiety and manage stress! Also helps strengthen the immune systems

💫 How often should I have a sound bath?
Recommended 1-2 sound baths per month

These beautiful bowls have been apart of my meditation sessions for over 15 years! As they are played often the healing love and vibration and sound can be quite powerful

💫Please feel free PM or drop any questions you may have about the session!
💫 Sessions are available weekdays and some weekends in Oak Park (or travel to locations)

Love Light & Happiness

🍂 🍂🍂Happy first day of Autumn 🍂🍂🍂

Autumn is by far my favourite season!
As we watch the leaves starting to gently fall from the trees, it’s a reminder for me to let go of all the sh*tty, wasteful thoughts, and be more present 💫

🧡In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Autumn is a great time to take extra care and nourish our lungs from any heaviness’s, especially sadness and grief

🧡Simple deep breathing exercise to refresh lungs

🧡 Take a full.. deep breath and say
“I take in life to the fullest”
🧡On a big exhalation say
“ I let go what no longer serves me”
🧡 Repeat 3 times morning and night

🧡 Be Well

Love Light & Happiness

Aah Spring we do love you!…however being a Hayfever sufferer it can be a very tough season! 🤧

That constant feeling of having a cold or flu like symptoms can feel tiresome 🙏

Other than popping an antihistamine on those heavy days, I do my best to follow an ‘low antihistamine’ diet and take herbs (thanks to the wonderful Josie )🌟

Acupuncture and healing from the amazing Dr.Martin 🌟

Most of all I do my best to keep calm with Meditation practicing slow breath work through the heart and lungs with
🩷 ‘self compassion’
🩷 ‘self care’
🩷 ‘self love’

Today is ‘R U OK’ day 💛

Today you could be standing next to someone who is truly their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today do it with kindness 💚

‘Do you take a ‘self-healing day’ for your body or mind when needed? 🩵

Many of us don’t have the pleasures of enjoying a mini holidays/breaks to refresh when needed! We may become unwell as a result of not taking care of ourselves! Taking a sick day’ ‘personal leave day’ OR ‘self healing day/days maybe needed! 🙏

What ways help you relax & recover and heal quickly at home?

Creating a little ‘home recovery retreat’ for me I love: healthy soups..cat cuddles..lots water..Meditations on healing..cloud watching..sleep..journaling grateful things..sit in nature..phone on silent & diffuse some uplifting oils ❤️‍🩹

Be kind to your mind ✨
Be kind to your body ✨
Be kind to your soul ✨

🩵 Welcome Winter 🩵

✨Some of us love Winter more than others! I feel Winter is a wonderful time to enjoy a little more self-care ✨

✨Winter nourishment is not only about good hearty warm food and physical health and well-being
✨It is a time to “go inside” and spend some quieter time resting and restoring, meditating, creating.
✨It’s also a time to nourish relationships, spending time with people who matter in our lives.
✨Each season has its own beauty, and Traditional Chinese Medicine can help us nourish our minds, bodies and spirits in every season.
✨The water element in TCM belongs to the Winter season and is correlated to the kidneys and Bladder organs
✨The Kidneys are considered the root and foundation of the body so please look after them a little more throughout Winter! ❤️

✨Here is a picture of one of my favourite morning ‘shared rest times’ with my two healing fur babies!

Kimba (White Siamese) 😻
