Try and stay in the present - it is the gift that every moment brings 🙌

Do not look back,
No one knows
How the world ever began
Do not fear the future
Nothing lasts forever
If you dwell on the past or future
You will miss the moment

Wise words….

A kind word only takes a moment in time, but a harsh word could scar someone for life. Always choose kindness 🙏

Today is World Kindness Day and the theme for 2023 is the importance of kindness in child development. What a wonderful thing, to know there is a day dedicated to acknowledging and encouraging kindness to ourselves, to others and to our world ❤️

Happy World Kindness Day, me hearties xx

Imagine a world where everyone came from a place of compassion and not indifference. What a wonderful world that would be. 🙌

Wise words …..

"Always remember:
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
smarter than you think and twice
as beautiful as you'd ever imagined."

Welcome to November. Here are some helpful tips to start new ways of doing or being in November. You don’t have to wait til January to make a new start. 🙌

Bowen is not a massage!
Going slow, with pauses and minimal moves creates the magical outcomes of Bowen therapy. 🙌

The power of the pause! ⏸️

Between each set of moves, Bowen Therapists pause for as many minutes as are needed for the client's body to begin responding.

As the nervous system begins to adjust the tension level in the muscles, the practitioner senses when the client is ready for the next set of moves.

In contrast to other hands-on modalities, where practitioners impose correction on the client through manipulation, Bowen Technique facilitates the body in 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, with 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

Wise words Wednesday …….

So important for preschoolers to learn through play. Developing writing skills and colouring between the lines will only happen when the child’s body and mind is truly ready. 🙌

Look at the differences between a typical preschool child’s hand (left) and a typical 7 year old hand (right). Want to know why a preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet? This is why! Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready!

I don’t like the labels we put on those we perceive to be ‘different’. This is a beautiful way to describe them. 🙌🌈👼

Did you know that Bowen Therapy activates the Vagus Nerve?
If you want your body to relax and heal, book a session with your local Bowen therapist today 🙌

“Every body feels better with Bowen.”

The vagus nerve is a crucial nerve that runs from the brainstem to various organs in the body, including the heart, lungs, and gut.

It plays a vital role in regulating many essential functions.

It controls the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response. When activated, it lowers heart rate, reduces stress hormones, and promotes a sense of relaxation and well-being. It aids our digestion, supports the immune system, and influences social interactions.

Ways to activate your vagus nerve:

😮‍💨 Deep breathing – Practice slow, deep breaths, focusing on your diaphragm.
🧘 Meditation – Engage in mindfulness or relaxation techniques to calm your mind.
🗣️ Humming or chanting – Try vocal exercises like humming or singing to stimulate the nerve.
🥶 Cold exposure – Splash your face with cold water or take a cool shower.
😆 Laughter – Enjoy a good laugh, as it can activate the vagus nerve.
🏃🏼‍♀️ Exercise – Engage in moderate aerobic activities like walking, swimming, or yoga.
💆‍♀️ Massage/Bowen Therapy – Gentle touch stimulates pressure receptors under the skin, which send signals to the brain to activate the vagus nerve.
🧘‍♂️ Yoga/Tai Chi – These practices combine movement and breath, promoting vagus nerve activation.
👯‍♀️ Social Connections – Spend time with loved ones, hug, or engage in meaningful conversations.
🦠 Probiotics – A healthy gut supports vagus nerve function, so consider probiotic-rich foods.

Overall, the vagus nerve is a vital pathway that helps maintain balance and harmony within our body and mind, contributing to our overall health and well-being.

Bowen therapy is the gentlest therapy for EVERY body 🙌

Sometimes, massage can be too much.

Practitioners have found that people with conditions such as MS, Fibromyalgia or Cerebral Palsy may find massage too stimulating.

Those who have suffered trauma can find the intimacy of massage too intense.

People receiving chemotherapy, seniors or those suffering mental illness, may find it too uncomfortable.

That's not to say bodywork can't be of benefit!

Bowen therapy is non-invasive, gentle on bodies and can be performed through clothing.

Try both to see what's right for you and your body.

With thanks to our friends at Bowen Association of Australia.
